Write component specifications

Component specifications ensure consistent implementation across products. AI can create detailed specs that serve as single sources of truth for design systems.

Begin with the component's purpose and use cases. Define when teams should use it and what problems it solves. This context produces more relevant specifications.

Document all states systematically: default, hover, active, disabled, error, plus any loading or empty states. AI excels at comprehensive state documentation when given a complete list upfront.

Essential specification elements:

• Properties and acceptable values
• Supported content types and limits
• Spacing, alignment, and responsive behavior
• Clear usage guidelines versus similar components
• Accessibility requirements (ARIA labels, keyboard navigation, contrast)

Always review specifications for technical accuracy and completeness. Verify that edge cases are covered and that specs align with existing design patterns.
