Design tokens are categorized into primitive, semantic, and component levels to standardize UI values. Primitive tokens hold raw values, semantic tokens define contextual meaning, and component tokens target specific UI elements, enabling consistent multi-platform theming and scalable design systems.

The optimal approach to synchronize design tokens from Figma to code is through a token pipeline using Style Dictionary configuration and CI/CD automation. This pipeline generates cross-platform tokens and ensures Figma-to-code synchronization without manual translation errors.

Set up dynamic theming by mapping CSS custom properties to semantic design tokens and wrapping them in a theme context provider. This infrastructure supports dynamic theme switching across web and mobile platforms without reloading components or duplicating stylesheets.

Yes, the component architecture supports compound components, polymorphism, variant systems, and slot-based composition. These patterns allow you to build flexible, reusable UI library components with customizable layouts and behaviors while maintaining strict design system standards.

You need a cross-platform token pipeline with CI/CD when scaling design systems across multiple products or brands. It automates Figma-to-code synchronization, generates platform-specific tokens via Style Dictionary, and ensures consistent theming updates reach web and mobile apps without manual intervention.
