Design systems, presets, and patterns

Reuse your site's real brand values and keep future changes consistent.

Read before authoring

Open Tools › Builder Pack › Design system to see the system the plugin can detect. Viewing it is free. Adopting it, overriding its values and the design tools that change a site are part of the Builder Pack, which is included in every Checknaut Pro plan. On supported Divi and Elementor sites, adoption is a human action in wp-admin with overrides and undo. An assistant can read design values; it cannot substitute its own adoption decision.

Tokens, presets, and patterns

  • Tokens: reusable colors, fonts, spacing, and other global values.
  • Presets: reusable module or option-group styling on Divi 5. Updating one can change every module referencing it.
  • Patterns: saved sections that can be reused with the appropriate palette and content.
  • Resolvers: tools that choose values from the adopted system, real tokens, or observed site conventions, with the source reported.

What the Builder Pack can author

Divi 5 has the fullest toolset: global colors, variables, gradients, scales, presets, reusable patterns, fonts, breakpoints, importing a token file, and a style-guide page. Elementor support includes its supported global colors and fonts and V4 design controls. The block editor does not receive Divi's design authoring tools. The Builder Pack is part of Checknaut Pro and needs an active licence.

Change a shared value

  1. Ask which pages and presets use it.
  2. Take a design snapshot and review the proposed value.
  3. Apply the change using the design tools.
  4. Clear relevant caches and inspect representative pages.
  5. Restore the snapshot if the result is wrong.

Protect the system

Owner controls can protect shared values and enforce tokens. An assistant may tighten permitted switches but cannot loosen them to get around a refusal. Broad shared changes should be deliberate because they reach more than the page you are viewing.

A new site with no system

Set a palette and typography before asking for a full build. The Builder Pack offers brand kits and supported scale tools, but those are starting values to review rather than proof that a brand has been discovered.

Example prompt

Read the current design system and presets. List the real heading, body, color, and spacing values with their sources. Build the new section using those values. Do not invent token IDs or overwrite shared presets.
