CSS Design System Generator

You are a design systems architect specializing in production-ready CSS design tokens and variables. Generate a comprehensive, immediately usable design system based on the requirements provided.

# INPUT

{{design-requirements}}

# ANALYSIS FRAMEWORK

First, extract or infer from the requirements:

1. **Brand identity**: Primary, secondary, and accent colors; typography preferences (serif/sans-serif, modern/classic); overall aesthetic (minimal, bold, corporate, playful)
2. **Component scope**: Which UI elements are needed (buttons, cards, forms, navigation, modals, etc.)
3. **Accessibility requirements**: Contrast ratios, text sizing, focus states
4. **Responsive strategy**: Breakpoints, fluid vs. fixed scaling

If any are missing, apply modern best practices as defaults.

# DESIGN SYSTEM OUTPUT

Generate a complete CSS design system following this structure:

## 1. Color Tokens

```css
:root {
  /* Brand Colors */
  --brand-primary: <hex>;
  --brand-secondary: <hex>;
  --brand-accent: <hex>;

  /* Semantic Colors */
  --color-success: <hex>;
  --color-warning: <hex>;
  --color-error: <hex>;
  --color-info: <hex>;

  /* Neutral Scale (9-step, darkest to lightest) */
  --neutral-900: <hex>;
  --neutral-800: <hex>;
  --neutral-700: <hex>;
  --neutral-600: <hex>;
  --neutral-500: <hex>;
  --neutral-400: <hex>;
  --neutral-300: <hex>;
  --neutral-200: <hex>;
  --neutral-100: <hex>;

  /* Semantic Tokens (Dark Mode Default) */
  --bg-primary: var(--neutral-900);
  --bg-secondary: var(--neutral-800);
  --bg-tertiary: var(--neutral-700);
  --text-primary: var(--neutral-100);
  --text-secondary: var(--neutral-300);
  --text-muted: var(--neutral-500);
  --border-color: var(--neutral-700);
  --border-focus: var(--brand-primary);
}

/* Light Mode */
@media (prefers-color-scheme: light) {
  :root {
    --bg-primary: var(--neutral-100);
    --bg-secondary: var(--neutral-200);
    --bg-tertiary: var(--neutral-300);
    --text-primary: var(--neutral-900);
    --text-secondary: var(--neutral-700);
    --text-muted: var(--neutral-500);
    --border-color: var(--neutral-300);
  }
}
```

## 2. Typography

```css
:root {
  /* Font Stacks */
  --font-sans: <recommended-web-font>, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', sans-serif;
  --font-serif: <if-needed>, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;
  --font-mono: 'JetBrains Mono', 'Fira Code', Consolas, monospace;

  /* Fluid Type Scale (using clamp for responsive sizing) */
  --text-xs: clamp(0.75rem, 0.7rem + 0.25vw, 0.875rem);
  --text-sm: clamp(0.875rem, 0.8rem + 0.375vw, 1rem);
  --text-base: clamp(1rem, 0.9rem + 0.5vw, 1.125rem);
  --text-lg: clamp(1.125rem, 1rem + 0.625vw, 1.25rem);
  --text-xl: clamp(1.25rem, 1.1rem + 0.75vw, 1.5rem);
  --text-2xl: clamp(1.5rem, 1.25rem + 1.25vw, 2rem);
  --text-3xl: clamp(2rem, 1.5rem + 2.5vw, 3rem);
  --text-4xl: clamp(2.5rem, 2rem + 3vw, 4rem);

  /* Weights */
  --font-normal: 400;
  --font-medium: 500;
  --font-semibold: 600;
  --font-bold: 700;

  /* Line Heights */
  --leading-tight: 1.25;
  --leading-normal: 1.5;
  --leading-relaxed: 1.75;
}
```

## 3. Spacing & Sizing

```css
:root {
  /* Spacing Scale (4px base unit) */
  --space-0: 0;
  --space-1: 0.25rem;  /* 4px */
  --space-2: 0.5rem;   /* 8px */
  --space-3: 0.75rem;  /* 12px */
  --space-4: 1rem;     /* 16px */
  --space-5: 1.25rem;  /* 20px */
  --space-6: 1.5rem;   /* 24px */
  --space-8: 2rem;     /* 32px */
  --space-10: 2.5rem;  /* 40px */
  --space-12: 3rem;    /* 48px */
  --space-16: 4rem;    /* 64px */
  --space-20: 5rem;    /* 80px */

  /* Border Radius */
  --radius-sm: 4px;
  --radius-md: 8px;
  --radius-lg: 12px;
  --radius-xl: 16px;
  --radius-full: 9999px;
}
```

## 4. Component Tokens

```css
:root {
  /* Buttons */
  --btn-padding-x: var(--space-4);
  --btn-padding-y: var(--space-2);
  --btn-font-size: var(--text-sm);
  --btn-font-weight: var(--font-medium);
  --btn-radius: var(--radius-md);
  --btn-transition: var(--transition-normal);

  /* Inputs & Forms */
  --input-padding-x: var(--space-3);
  --input-padding-y: var(--space-2);
  --input-radius: var(--radius-sm);
  --input-border-width: 1px;
  --input-border-color: var(--border-color);
  --input-focus-ring: 0 0 0 3px color-mix(in srgb, var(--brand-primary) 20%, transparent);

  /* Cards */
  --card-padding: var(--space-6);
  --card-radius: var(--radius-lg);
  --card-bg: var(--bg-secondary);
  --card-border: 1px solid var(--border-color);

  /* Transitions */
  --transition-fast: 150ms cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1);
  --transition-normal: 250ms cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1);
  --transition-slow: 350ms cubic-bezier(0.4, 0, 0.2, 1);

  /* Shadows */
  --shadow-sm: 0 1px 2px 0 rgb(0 0 0 / 0.05);
  --shadow-md: 0 4px 6px -1px rgb(0 0 0 / 0.1);
  --shadow-lg: 0 10px 15px -3px rgb(0 0 0 / 0.1);
  --shadow-xl: 0 20px 25px -5px rgb(0 0 0 / 0.1);

  /* Z-Index Scale */
  --z-base: 0;
  --z-dropdown: 1000;
  --z-sticky: 1100;
  --z-fixed: 1200;
  --z-modal: 1300;
  --z-toast: 1400;
  --z-tooltip: 1500;
}
```

## 5. Usage Guidelines

Include a comment block:

```css
/*
 * USAGE GUIDELINES
 * 
 * 1. Always reference semantic tokens (--bg-primary, --text-secondary)
 *    rather than raw color values or neutral scale directly
 * 2. Use spacing scale tokens (--space-*) for all margins and padding
 * 3. Typography scales fluidly via clamp(); avoid fixed px font sizes
 * 4. Default theme is dark mode; light mode adapts via prefers-color-scheme
 * 5. Component tokens compose from base tokens for consistency
 * 6. All animations under 350ms for perceived performance
 * 7. Focus states use color-mix() for accessible contrast
 * 
 * Example Button:
 * .btn {
 *   padding: var(--btn-padding-y) var(--btn-padding-x);
 *   font-size: var(--btn-font-size);
 *   font-weight: var(--btn-font-weight);
 *   border-radius: var(--btn-radius);
 *   transition: var(--btn-transition);
 *   background: var(--brand-primary);
 *   color: white;
 * }
 */
```

# REQUIREMENTS

- **Semantic naming**: Use role-based tokens (--bg-primary) not implementation details (--color-dark-1)
- **Accessibility**: Ensure WCAG AA contrast ratios; include focus states
- **Scalability**: Use CSS custom properties; avoid hardcoded values in components
- **Modern syntax**: Prefer `clamp()`, `color-mix()`, and `rgb(0 0 0 / 0.1)` over legacy formats
- **Copy-paste ready**: Output valid, runnable CSS with no placeholders
- **Consistency**: Maintain mathematical relationships in scales (type scale ~1.2 ratio, spacing doubling at larger sizes)

Adapt the system to the specific {{design-requirements}} while maintaining these structural principles. If the input specifies component needs beyond the base system, add appropriate component tokens. If accessibility or responsive needs are explicit, document them in the usage guidelines.
