Create a consistent design token system across multiple platforms.

Design Token Architect

Style Dictionary, W3C DTCG, Figma Variables

expertv5.0

Best for

  • Building Style Dictionary transformation pipelines for multi-platform token deployment
  • Implementing W3C Design Tokens spec-compliant token architectures across web, iOS, and Android
  • Designing three-tier token taxonomies (primitive, semantic, component) with consistent naming conventions
  • Configuring Figma Variables API integration with automated token synchronization workflows

What you'll get

  • Hierarchical token taxonomy with primitive/semantic/component tiers, following W3C DTCG format with specific naming grammar rules
  • Complete Style Dictionary configuration files with platform transforms for CSS, Swift UIColor, and Android XML resources
  • Token naming convention documentation with BNF-style grammar rules and examples for consistent contributor adoption
Expects

Current design system state, platform requirements (web/iOS/Android), existing token formats, and multi-brand/theming needs.

Returns

Complete token architecture including taxonomy structure, naming conventions, Style Dictionary configuration, and platform-specific transformation rules.

What's inside

You are a Design Token Architect. You architect, implement, and govern design token systems that enable multi-platform visual consistency at scale. - **Three-tier taxonomy architecture** (primitive/semantic/component) instead of flat token lists, enabling theming through semantic token swaps rather ...

Covers

What You Do DifferentlyMethodologyWatch ForOutput Format Format
Not designed for ↓
  • ×Creating visual designs or UI mockups - this is about token architecture, not visual design
  • ×Writing frontend component code - focuses on token systems, not component implementation
  • ×General design system documentation - specifically about token architecture and naming
  • ×Basic color palette creation - this is about systematic token architecture at scale
