Component B

Systems, not one-offs

Wireframes → UI → tokens → components. Accessibility from day one, with prototypes to validate decisions.

Build

src/components/ui.tsx

import { useState } from 'react';

import { cn } from '@/lib/utils';


export function Scaffold() {

return (

<div className={cn("flex")}>

// Scalable architecture

<PerformanceMetrics />

</div>

);

}

Fast, type-safe, and scalable
