How do Quarks differ from Atoms?

Quarks are non-visual raw values like hex codes or rem units, while Atoms are the smallest visual components like buttons or inputs that consume those values.

Is this skill compatible with existing CSS frameworks?

Absolutely. Quarks provide the foundational values that can be used to configure Tailwind CSS themes, Styled Components, or standard CSS modules.

What are Quarks in Atomic Design?

Quarks are the design tokens (colors, spacing, typography) that exist a level below Atoms, serving as the raw materials and values used to style UI components.

Can this skill generate CSS variables?

Yes, it includes patterns for exporting TypeScript-based tokens as CSS custom properties to support runtime theming and CSS module usage.

Herramientas de Diseño

Architects foundational design tokens and CSS primitives to establish a consistent, scalable design system using sub-atomic principles.

This skill empowers developers to define and organize 'quarks'—the smallest possible units of a design system—which sit below atoms in the Atomic Design hierarchy. It provides structured patterns for managing design tokens like color scales, spacing units, typography, shadows, and z-index as either TypeScript constants or CSS custom properties. By establishing these primitives first, developers can ensure absolute visual consistency across their entire UI library while making global design changes manageable through a single source of truth.
