Awesome Design Tokens

Go by this:

  1. Define the topics relevant to your design language to model your tokens and establish a communication.
  2. Give purpose to your tokens (avoid semantics, that term is overloaded). Speaking about purpose results in much more clarity
  3. Ignore the type of a token. The type is inherent of a token, but stop thinking in terms of types or making them part of your name leads you to properly think about the purpose of it.
  4. Formalize this into a token specification to make it scalable.
  5. Naming follows naturally when applying the steps above.
