To translate Figma specs into CSS variables and Tailwind tokens, extract primitive values like hex colors and spacing, then map them to semantic roles such as bg-primary. You define these tokens in the :root selector and extend the tailwind.config.js file for utility class consumption.

Design tokens are structured variables representing visual design primitives like color and spacing. You need them for responsive theming to maintain component styling consistency across light and dark modes, ensuring that updating a single primitive cascades changes to all semantic token references.

Structure a typography scale and spacing system by extracting primitive values from design documents and assigning them intuitive naming conventions. These values are then documented as CSS variables and integrated into the Tailwind configuration to provide consistent, theme-ready styling hooks across the application.

Yes, you can use design tokens to verify WCAG-friendly contrast. By organizing colors into semantic roles and validating their relationships, changing a base primitive automatically cascades to semantic tokens, which helps confirm that both light and dark mode builds maintain accessible contrast ratios.

Yes, this approach removes the manual effort of translating design documents into CSS variables. It automatically identifies primitives like hex colors and typography values, then organizes them into semantic roles to keep styling scalable and theme-ready across your product without direct manual mapping.
