Design-system maintainers
Design-system audit on a deployed app
Design systems decay. Engineers under deadline reach for raw hex codes; designers hand off without checking tokens; a year later the deployed app uses 14 shades of grey. DIVE is the fastest way to find and fix the drift.
The problem
Reading code for drift means parsing thousands of CSS rules. Reading the design system file doesn't tell you what's actually deployed. The only ground truth is the rendered page.
The workflow
- 1
Walk the deployed app
Open key pages with DIVE. Use the colour picker to spot non-token colours.
- 2
Log drift as structured changes
Replace off-spec values with the correct token. Each replacement is logged.
- 3
Export the audit
Markdown export becomes the audit report. Engineering ships the fixes as one or many PRs.
The outcome
A deployed app that matches the design system. A reproducible audit that can run again next quarter.
