# Guidelines # Guidelines
Design guidelines are sets of recommendations on how to apply design principles to provide a positive user experience. Designers use such guidelines to judge how to adopt principles such as intuitiveness, learnability, efficiency and consistency so they can create compelling designs and meet and exceed user needs.

# Pattern # Pattern
Patterns are best practice design solutions for specific user-focused tasks and page types. Patterns often use one or more components and explain how to adapt them to the context. Some sample patterns could be user signing in to the application or performing the checkout operation.

# Pilot # Pilot
Pilots are one of the best ways to put your design system through its paces, especially before the design system even gets to a v1. Like television pilots help test audience reactions to a series concept without investing significant resources to create the whole thing, application pilots are a good foundation for ensuring your design system’s design and code are battle-tested.

# Token # Token
Design system tokens are the style values of UI elements such as color, typography, spacing, shadows, etc., that are used across products and capable of being converted to a format for any platform (web, mobile, desktop). Tokens are building blocks of the design system—think of them as sub atoms, the smallest pieces of style values that allow designers to create styles for a product.

# Ui kit # UI Kit
As it relates to a design system, a UI Kit is a representation of coded components created in a way that designers who don’t know code can create interface mockups. Examples of UI kits are Sketch libraries and [Figma design systems](https://www.figma.com/blog/how-to-build-your-design-system-in-figma/).
