Background/Goal
Requirements for this task collected from this comment in T306874 and this Slack thread.
Following to the conversation during out last design system office hour on Codex vs. OOUI, I rewatched the recording, and I was wondering if it might be helpful to have a flowchart somewhere (image below as an example) to help us navigate through this transition. In our case could be something like:
- Are you designing for Abstract or Growth? [Yes][No].
- If [Yes], use Codex Figma Library.
- If [No], use OOUI Figma library.
- Do you need a component that is available in Codex? [Yes][No]
- If [Yes], copy and paste it in your file and let engineers know that is not available in OOUI therefore provide the specs to implement it in the local project.
- If [No], …
- Do you need a component that is available in Codex? [Yes][No]
User stories
- As a designer I need to understand when to design with the OOUI components.
- As a designer I need to understand when to design with the Codex components.
- As a designer I need to understand which tokens should I use in my designs.
- As a designer I need to understand which assets should I use in my designs.
Acceptance criteria (or Done)
- Design a flowchart to explain all use cases described in the user stories section
- Add this flowchart in a place where designers can easily find it when designing
