What you'll learn

Work with AI agents to build and evolve design systems

Learn how to bring agents into your design system workflow so they help build and evolve it alongside your team.

Make your design system agent-ready

See concrete changes to tokens, components, and docs that help agents work in your codebase without breaking things.

Set clear instructions and guardrails for agents

Learn how to write directives and constraints that keep agents focused, accurate, and useful in production work.

Understand how agents reshape design and engineering roles

Get a clearer picture of how agent collaboration shifts what designers and design engineers own day to day.

Why this topic matters

Agents are changing our world fast, multiplying what we can achieve. But they're only as good as the instructions we give them—and the environments we put them in. In this lightning talk, Jan shares the problems agents encounter in existing design systems, with advice on how to actually code in production as a designer.
