Why It Matters
Good naming conventions make designs self-documenting. When developers inspect a design, clear names like "Button/Primary/Large/Default" communicate intent instantly. Consistent naming also enables automation—scripts and plugins can parse well-named components to generate code, documentation, or perform batch operations.
Examples
1
Component naming: "Button/Primary/Large" vs "btn-1-big" (good vs bad).
2
Token naming: "color.text.primary" follows a category.type.variant pattern.
3
Layer naming: "IconSlot" instead of "Frame 47" tells developers exactly what the layer is for.
