Design handoff tends to break down at exactly one point: developers need clear, consistent documentation of spacing, color, typography, and component states, but producing that documentation by hand for every screen is tedious and easy to let slip.

This recreation explores a “spec card” pattern — a repeatable card format for documenting a file’s specs directly inside Figma — rebuilt to study how a consistent documentation system holds up across many files.
