Richie 732c872576 Initial commit: FA 2.0 Design System foundation
Token pipeline (Style Dictionary v4, DTCG format):
- Primitive tokens: colour palettes (brand, sage, neutral, feedback),
  typography (3 font families, 21-variant type scale), spacing (4px grid),
  border radius, shadows, opacity
- Semantic tokens: text, surface, border, interactive, feedback colours;
  typography roles; layout spacing
- Component tokens: Button (4 sizes), Input (2 sizes)
- Generated outputs: CSS custom properties, JS ES6 module, flat JSON

Atoms (3 components):
- Button: contained/soft/outlined/text × primary/secondary, 4 sizes,
  loading state, underline for text variant
- Typography: 21 variants across display/heading/body/label/caption/overline,
  maxLines truncation
- Input: external label, helper text, error/success validation,
  start/end icons, required indicator, 2 sizes, multiline support

Infrastructure:
- MUI v5 theme with full token mapping
- Storybook 8 with autodocs
- Claude Code agents and skills for token/component workflows
- Design system documentation and cross-session memory

FA Design System — Quick Start

What you've got

A complete Claude Code project scaffold with:

  • 3 agents: token-architect, component-builder, story-writer
  • 6 slash commands: /create-tokens, /build-atom, /build-molecule, /sync-tokens, /status, /review-component
  • 4 memory files: session-log, decisions-log, component-registry, token-registry
  • 2 convention docs: token-conventions, component-conventions
  • Living design system spec: docs/design-system.md
  • MCP config: Figma remote MCP pre-configured
  • Full React + MUI + Storybook + Style Dictionary setup

Setup (5-10 minutes)

# 1. Extract the project
tar -xzf fa-design-system-scaffold.tar.gz
cd fa-project

# 2. Run the bootstrap script
chmod +x bootstrap.sh
./bootstrap.sh

# 3. Set up Figma MCP (in Claude Code)
claude mcp add --transport http figma-remote-mcp https://mcp.figma.com/mcp
# Restart Claude Code, then /mcp → authenticate with Figma

# 4. Start Storybook (separate terminal)
npm run storybook

Your workflow

Step 1: Create tokens

claude
/create-tokens I want to create the FA design system. Here are my brand colours: [paste hex values or attach reference images]. Fonts: [your font choices]. The platform serves Australian families planning funerals — warm, trustworthy, calm aesthetic.

Step 2: Build atoms (one at a time)

/build-atom Button
# Review in Storybook at http://localhost:6006
# Provide feedback, iterate

/build-atom Input
/build-atom Typography
/build-atom Card
# ... etc

Step 3: Build molecules

/build-molecule PriceCard
/build-molecule FormField
# ... etc

Check status anytime

/status

Review a component

/review-component Button

How memory works

Every agent reads these files before starting work and updates them after:

File Purpose
docs/memory/session-log.md What happened last session, what's next
docs/memory/decisions-log.md Every design decision with rationale
docs/memory/component-registry.md Status of every component
docs/memory/token-registry.md All tokens with values and usage

This means you can close Claude Code, come back tomorrow, and the agents will pick up exactly where you left off.
