Design Token Management

Token Pipeline

Source of Truth

Define tokens in JSON/YAML (platform-agnostic).
Or define in Figma Variables and export.
Single source, multiple outputs.

Transformation

Tokens → Style Dictionary → Platform outputs:

CSS custom properties (web)
Swift/Kotlin values (mobile)
JSON (documentation, tooling)

Token Structure

{
  "color": {
    "brand": {
      "primary": { "value": "#2563EB", "type": "color" },
      "secondary": { "value": "#7C3AED", "type": "color" }
    },
    "semantic": {
      "text": {
        "primary": { "value": "{color.neutral.900}", "type": "color" },
        "secondary": { "value": "{color.neutral.600}", "type": "color" }
      }
    }
  }
}

Versioning

Semantic versioning for token packages.
Breaking changes: removing tokens, renaming tokens.
Non-breaking: adding tokens, changing values.
Changelog for every token update.

Multi-Brand

Base tokens shared across brands.
Brand-specific overrides as separate token files.
Theme tokens (light/dark) as separate layers.
Compose: base + brand + theme = final token set.
