    Single source of truth for design decisions

    What it is

    Automated pipeline that transforms Figma tokens into CSS, Tailwind, and native mobile formats.

    Why it exists

    Manual syncing between design and code is error-prone and slow.

    Constraints

    • •Must support semantic tokens (not just primitives)
    • •Output must be tree-shakeable
    • •Must generate TypeScript types

    What was hard

    • •Handling color space conversions correctly
    • •Supporting dark mode as a first-class concept

    What changed my mind

    • →Originally tried to support every possible output format. Now focus on the 3 we actually use.
