AGENTIC DESIGN SYSTEM - FROM CHATBOT TO ORCHESTRATION

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Design systems are evolving from passive component libraries into operational infrastructure that AI agents can read, interpret, and act upon — with human oversight. This shift requires treating components as contracts that encode not just structure, but intent, constraints, accessibility rules, and escalation logic. Teams that add semantic metadata to tokens and build governance frameworks will be better positioned than those still optimizing for faster component generation.
