Use Variants

One Button component with variants for: size (sm, md, lg), style (primary, secondary, ghost), and state (default, hover, disabled).

Auto-Layout Everything

Components with auto-layout resize correctly when content changes. No manual repositioning.

Naming Convention

Component/Variant/State — e.g., Button/Primary/Hover. Consistent naming makes components searchable.
