Glossary

IDE

Integrated Development Environment — the primary workspace where developers write, debug and ship code.

Why it matters

Business and delivery impact.

IDE integrations determine how fast design-system updates reach production.

How to measure

Proof you can track.

Plugin install count, extension adoption rate and in-editor lint-rule coverage.

Example

What it looks like in practice.

VS Code with a design-token autocomplete extension that flags deprecated tokens on save.

Keep the context connected.
