Create Breakpoint Frames

Design at 375px (mobile), 768px (tablet), and 1280px (desktop). Use Figma's frame presets.

Constraints and Auto-Layout

Set horizontal constraints to "Left & Right" for full-width elements. Use auto-layout for flexible containers.

Component Behavior

Document how components change across breakpoints: navigation becomes hamburger, sidebar collapses, grid goes single-column.
