Your output is immediately usable in any modern web project.\n\nTake a deep breath and think step by step about how to create a cohesive, scalable design system.\n\n# STEPS\n\n1. Analyze the input for brand colors, typography, spacing, and component needs\n2. Create a semantic color system with both light and dark mode support\n3. Define typography scale using modern best practices\n4. Establish spacing and sizing scales\n5. Create component tokens for common UI elements\n6. Add utility classes for rapid development\n\n# OUTPUT FORMAT\n\n## Design System: [Name]\n\n### Color Tokens\n\n```css\n:root {\n  /* Brand Colors */\n  --brand-primary: #value;\n  --brand-secondary: #value;\n  --brand-accent: #value;\n\n  /* Semantic Colors */\n  --color-success: #value;\n  --color-warning: #value;\n  --color-error: #value;\n  --color-info: #value;\n\n  /* Neutrals (Dark Mode Default) */\n  --neutral-900: #value;  /* Darkest */\n  --neutral-800: #value;\n  --neutral-700: #value;\n  --neutral-600: #value;\n  --neutral-500: #value;\n  --neutral-400: #value;\n  --neutral-300: #value;\n  --neutral-200: #value;\n  --neutral-100: #value;  /* Lightest */\n\n  /* Semantic Backgrounds */\n  --bg-primary: var(--neutral-900);\n  --bg-secondary: var(--neutral-800);\n  --bg-tertiary: var(--neutral-700);\n\n  /* Semantic Text */\n  --text-primary: var(--neutral-100);\n  --text-secondary: var(--neutral-300);\n  --text-muted: var(--neutral-500);\n\n  /* Borders */\n  --border-color: var(--neutral-700);\n  --border-radius-sm: 4px;\n  --border-radius-md: 8px;\n  --border-radius-lg: 12px;\n}\n\n/* Light Mode Override */\n@media (prefers-color-scheme: light) {\n  :root {\n    --bg-primary: var(--neutral-100);\n    --bg-secondary: var(--neutral-200);\n    --text-primary: var(--neutral-900);\n    --text-secondary: var(--neutral-700);\n  }\n}\n```\n\n### Typography\n\n```css\n:root {\n  /* Font Families */\n  --font-sans: 'Inter', -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, sans-serif;\n  --font-mono: 'JetBrains Mono', 'Fira Code', monospace;\n\n  /* Font Sizes (using clamp for responsiveness) */\n  --text-xs: clamp(0.75rem, 0.7rem + 0.25vw, 0.875rem);\n  --text-sm: clamp(0.875rem, 0.8rem + 0.375vw, 1rem);\n  --text-base: clamp(1rem, 0.9rem + 0.5vw, 1.125rem);\n  --text-lg: clamp(1.125rem, 1rem + 0.625vw, 1.25rem);\n  --text-xl: clamp(1.25rem, 1.1rem + 0.75vw, 1.5rem);\n  --text-2xl: clamp(1.5rem, 1.25rem + 1.25vw, 2rem);\n  --text-3xl: clamp(2rem, 1.5rem + 2.5vw, 3rem);\n\n  /* Font Weights */\n  --font-normal: 400;\n  --font-medium: 500;\n  --font-semibold: 600;\n  --font-bold: 700;\n\n  /* Line Heights */\n  --leading-tight: 1.25;\n  --leading-normal: 1.5;\n  --leading-relaxed: 1.75;\n}\n```\n\n### Spacing Scale\n\n```css\n:root {\n  /* Base unit: 4px */\n  --space-1: 0.25rem;   /* 4px */\n  --space-2: 0.5rem;    /* 8px */\n  --space-3: 0.75rem;   /* 12px */\n  --space-4: 1rem;      /* 16px */\n  --space-5: 1.25rem;   /* 20px */\n  --space-6: 1.5rem;    /* 24px */\n  --space-8: 2rem;      /* 32px */\n  --space-10: 2.5rem;   /* 40px */\n  --space-12: 3rem;     /* 48px */\n  --space-16: 4rem;     /* 64px */\n}\n```\n\n### Component Tokens\n\n```css\n:root {\n  /* Buttons */\n  --btn-padding-x: var(--space-4);\n  --btn-padding-y: var(--space-2);\n  --btn-font-size: var(--text-sm);\n  --btn-font-weight: var(--font-medium);\n  --btn-border-radius: var(--border-radius-md);\n\n  /* Cards */\n  --card-padding: var(--space-6);\n  --card-border-radius: var(--border-radius-lg);\n  --card-bg: var(--bg-secondary);\n\n  /* Inputs */\n  --input-padding-x: var(--space-3);\n  --input-padding-y: var(--space-2);\n  --input-border-radius: var(--border-radius-sm);\n  --input-border-color: var(--border-color);\n\n  /* Transitions */\n  --transition-fast: 150ms ease;\n  --transition-normal: 250ms ease;\n  --transition-slow: 350ms ease;\n}\n```\n\n### Shadows\n\n```css\n:root {\n  --shadow-sm: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);\n  --shadow-md: 0 4px 6px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.15);\n  --shadow-lg: 0 10px 15px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);\n  --shadow-xl: 0 20px 25px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25);\n}\n```\n\n### Usage Notes\n\n- Always use semantic tokens (--bg-primary) not raw values\n- Spacing follows 4px base unit\n- Typography uses clamp() for fluid sizing\n- Dark mode is default, light mode via media query\n- All transitions under 350ms for responsiveness\n\n# OUTPUT INSTRUCTIONS\n\n- Output valid CSS custom properties\n- Include both dark and light mode\n- Use semantic naming (--bg-primary not --dark-bg)\n- Follow 4px or 8px base unit for spacing\n- Include usage notes\n- Make it copy-paste ready\n\n# INPUT\n\nINPUT:\n\n{{input}}",
