The context layer for your design system

Design system intelligence for humans and AI agents.

Your agent can write the change. Give it the context to understand the consequences—components, usages, owners, and what to visual-test.

Built for design system teams. Available to agents through MCP.

From question to informed change

Less searching.
More understanding.

Not six disconnected tools. One thread of context, from finding a component to improving the system around it.

Locate01

The right component. Not another copy.

Find its source, variants, and usages across your codebase.

Preview02

See what your agent sees.

Render components and their states directly in the conversation.

Trace impact03

One change. The whole picture.

Trace dependent components and the screens that consume them.

Collaborate04

Know who needs to be involved.

Connect component ownership to the teams affected by a change.

Test05

Check the right surfaces.

Identify which dependent components need visual testing.

Refactor06

Turn context into a next step.

Prioritize improvements and give your agent context for refactoring.

System intelligence

Metrics are a starting point.
The next move matters.

Use cases

One graph. Many questions.

  1. 01

    Change impact & test selection

    Trace what a change touches and run only the right visual tests.

  2. 02

    Adoption & drift

    Find forks, hard-coded values, and outdated versions across apps.

  3. 03

    Deprecations & migrations

    Locate every legacy usage and propose migrations repo by repo.

  4. 04

    Design-to-code checks

    Compare Figma components with code and flag mismatches.

  5. 05

    Accessibility & performance

    Per-component health with the affected screens attached.

  6. 06

    Guidance for agents

    Tell coding agents which component to use, and which to avoid.

  7. 07

    Ownership & governance

    Owners, readiness, and release notes generated from real changes.

Pull-request check

02

Enhance

Elementic adds impact paths, ownership, coverage gaps, and generated stories.

03

Optionally migrate

Move to Elementic’s own preview when you’re ready — never required.

One MCP connection

Your agent.
Your components.
Shared context.

Bring component intelligence into the tools your team already uses. Source, previews, ownership, and impact—available in the same conversation.
