Where a design system isn't written down, a coding agent guesses and never says so
- Practitioners report an agent filling an undocumented gap in a design system with the average of the internet.
- The same claim appears as a design tool inventing hex values and an agent redrawing an existing button.
- Job posts ask that a design system serve models as directly as people.
- The hiring posts, vendor experiments and practitioner reports do not share an event.

If you are a PM
- Ask your design lead which parts of the system are not written down. Those are the parts an agent will invent.
- Budget the documentation work as product work. An undocumented rule costs you every time an agent builds a screen.
If you are a designer
- Write down the rules you currently hold in your head. An agent fills every gap with the internet's average.
- Check what the agent drew where your system was silent. That is your list of missing tokens and components.
- Add a component contract to each part of the system that an agent can read, not only a design file a person opens.
