# Memory Management
|
|
|
|
When and how to update `.interface-design/system.md`.
|
|
|
|
## When to Add Patterns
|
|
|
|
Add to system.md when:
|
|
- Component used 2+ times
|
|
- Pattern is reusable across the project
|
|
- Has specific measurements worth remembering
|
|
|
|
## Pattern Format
|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|
### Button Primary
|
|
- Height: 36px
|
|
- Padding: 12px 16px
|
|
- Radius: 6px
|
|
- Font: 14px, 500 weight
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Don't Document
|
|
|
|
- One-off components
|
|
- Temporary experiments
|
|
- Variations better handled with props
|
|
|
|
## Pattern Reuse
|
|
|
|
Before creating a component, check system.md:
|
|
- Pattern exists? Use it.
|
|
- Need variation? Extend, don't create new.
|
|
|
|
Memory compounds: each pattern saved makes future work faster and more consistent.
|

# Validation Checks
|
|
|
|
If system.md defines specific values, check consistency:
|
|
|
|
**Spacing** — All values multiples of the defined base?
|
|
|
|
**Depth** — Using the declared strategy throughout? (borders-only means no shadows)
|
|
|
|
**Colors** — Using defined palette, not random hex codes?
|
|
|
|
**Patterns** — Reusing documented patterns instead of creating new?
