Component redundancy check

Component redundancy occurs when similar UI elements exist in different forms across a design system. Identifying and eliminating redundancy improves system maintainability and reduces confusion for teams.

Key aspects of redundancy check:

• Functional overlap: Finding components that serve similar purposes
• Visual similarity: Identifying elements with minimal visual differences
• Feature duplication: Detecting repeated functionality in different components
• Code patterns: Analyzing similar implementation patterns
• Usage context: Understanding why duplicate solutions exist

Common challenges in redundancy analysis:

• Components that look different but serve the same purpose
• Legacy duplicates from system evolution
• Different teams creating similar solutions
• Subtle variations that seem necessary
• Political challenges in consolidating components
