Production notes on design systems, generative UI, and front-end architecture.

Adding an MCP server to your design system

A practical look at exposing a design system through the Model Context Protocol, what it adds beyond a docs site, what to ship first, and what falls apart if you skip the prerequisite.
May 15, 2026

Encoding architecture standards in agentic workflows

Mentoring at scale doesn't mean having more 1:1s. It means building the system that teaches the standard, then using it. Claude Code skills are one way to do that.

The part where most design systems quietly die

Design systems rarely fail because the components were wrong. They fail because the governance was nice, and nice doesn't hold up under sustained adoption pressure.

The thin-CMS pattern: deploying a design system into AEM

How we extended a design system from engineering into Adobe Experience Manager, one architectural rule that turned a developer tool into a business platform.

Why we bet on web components for a 9-year-old design system

A framework-agnostic design system was a contrarian choice in 2017. It's the reason the system is still standing in 2026, and why it could absorb generative UI without a rewrite.

Generating UI Without Generating Code

A two-day prototype exploring generative UI patterns on AXS, Vanguard's framework-agnostic design system, without ever asking an LLM to write production code.
