SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

When adopting @techsio/ui-kit in apps/*, teams often face token drift and inconsistent semantics across projects. This Skill provides a minimal app-token override strategy after a focused design-token interview to standardize semantic, typography, spacing, layout, and state tokens while letting each app reflect its unique needs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Initialize broad semantic layers before component overrides to ensure consistent base values.
  • Create a lean app-token surface that expresses differences without duplicating library defaults.
  • Validate token surface changes across multiple apps and maintain a coherent design language.

Quick Start

Open the apps you work on and create the smallest app-token layer that expresses semantic and layout differences.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up design tokens when adopting a new UI kit in existing apps?

Customizing semantic tokens requires establishing a minimal app-token layer that overrides library defaults. This skill provides patterns to express unique app differences while maintaining a coherent design language across projects.

What is the best way to prevent design token drift across multiple app projects?

Preventing token drift requires applying a minimal override strategy to standardize semantic and layout tokens across projects. This skill validates token surface changes to ensure reproducibility and maintain a coherent design language.

How do I create a minimal app-token override layer for semantic and layout differences?

Creating a minimal app-token layer involves applying small, focused changes to semantic, typography, spacing, and radius tokens. This skill provides guidance and validation steps to ensure safe, maintainable token customization without duplicating library defaults.

Can I use this token initialization strategy for both new and existing projects?

Yes, this token initialization strategy applies to both new and existing app projects. It establishes broad semantic layers before component overrides to ensure consistent base values across your application suite.

Why should I initialize semantic token layers before applying component overrides?

Initializing semantic token layers before component overrides ensures consistent base values across your application. This approach creates a lean app-token surface that expresses differences without duplicating library defaults.

Does this token override approach work without duplicating the default UI kit values?

Yes, this token override approach creates a lean app-token surface that expresses differences without duplicating library defaults. It standardizes semantic and layout tokens while letting each app reflect its unique needs safely.
