What Drift Detection does

Drift Detection identifies where a design system has diverged from its intended tokens, components, or patterns across consuming products. Use it to classify visual, behavioural, API, and token drift, and to separate intentional exceptions from accidental gaps.

Drift Detection is cataloged under Quality on DirSkills. Drift Detection comes from a repository tagged claude-code, claude-code-plugin, design-system, design-systems and design-tokens.

Excerpt

Drift detection

A skill for identifying and classifying drift in a design system — the accumulated distance between design system intent and actual implementation across consuming products. Produces a drift report with severity ratings, origin classification, and recommended response for each finding.

Context

Drift is the normal condition of a used design system. The question is not whether your system has drifted — it has — but whether the drift is intentional, how severe it is, and whether it is compounding.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
