Atomic Design Fundamentals

About

This skill empowers Claude to architect professional-grade design systems based on Brad Frost's Atomic Design principles, enhanced with 'Quarks' for granular design tokens. It provides a rigorous framework for organizing components into a clear hierarchy—from primitive building blocks to full-page layouts—ensuring maintainability, preventing circular dependencies, and establishing consistent naming conventions across the frontend codebase. It is ideal for developers building complex web applications who require a standardized approach to component composition and directory architecture.

Key Features

• Hierarchical component mapping from Quarks to Pages
• Design token (Quark) integration for consistent styling
• Strict composition rules to prevent architectural anti-patterns
• Standardized directory structure for design systems
• Best practices for prop flow and business logic separation
• 72 GitHub stars

Use Cases

• Establishing team-wide standards for UI component organization and naming
• Refactoring existing component libraries into a scalable, hierarchical structure
• Architecting a new design system from scratch in React, Vue, or Svelte
