# Design Patterns Discovered
## Effective Patterns
### Executive Summary Layout
**When to use:** Opening slides, quarterly reviews
**Structure:**
- Headline with clear takeaway
- 3-4 KPI cards in grid
- Supporting callout box
- Footer with source/date
**Why it works:**
- Balances information density with readability
- Clear focal point (headline → KPIs → callout)
- Meets WCAG AA accessibility
- Responsive to different screen sizes
**Code Example:** [View spec](./patterns/executive-summary.html)

## Antipatterns Identified
### Too Many Font Sizes
**Issue:** Design uses 8 different font sizes (too many)
**Impact:** Reduces visual hierarchy clarity
**Recommendation:** Consolidate to 4-5 standard sizes using design tokens
**Effort:** 2 hours
### Arbitrary Spacing Values
**Issue:** Spacing uses 7px, 13px, 25px (not on 8px grid)
**Impact:** Makes responsive design harder, reduces consistency
**Recommendation:** Normalize to 8px unit system (4, 8, 16, 24, 32, 48, 64)
**Effort:** 3 hours
Task Rabbit updates master design guidelines based on audits:
# Walmart Design System Guidelines
## Updated: March 16, 2026 (Based on Q4 MBR Audit)
### Color Usage Rules
- ✅ Always validate text contrast before using
- ✅ Pair colors with icons/text (never color alone)
- ✅ Test with color-blindness simulator
- ❌ Never use spark.100 for body text (fails contrast)
- ❌ Never use gray.50 for small text
### Spacing Standards
- Use 8px unit system only: 4, 8, 16, 24, 32, 48, 64px
- Button padding: 8px vertical, 16px horizontal minimum
- Card padding: 24px
- Section margins: 32-48px
- Gutter/gap: 16-24px

# CI/CD Opportunities Identified
## Priority 1: Pre-Commit Hook - Design Lint
### Description
Automatically check design files for common violations before commit
### What to Scan
- [ ] PPTX color usage against approved palette
- [ ] Font weight validation (400/600/700 only)
- [ ] Spacing grid adherence
- [ ] Missing alt text on images
- [ ] Slide dimension consistency (16:9 ratio)
### Implementation
```bash
# .husky/pre-commit
python scripts/design_lint.py --file "$1"
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
echo "❌ Design validation failed. Run: design-orchestrator --auto-fix"
exit 1
