design-token-audit

To audit design token usage, analyze token values against UI code and styles to identify inconsistencies, flag hard-coded values, and surface coverage gaps across colors, typography, and spacing. The audit categorizes findings and maps custom values to existing tokens.

The best way to find hard-coded values and redundant tokens is to run a token audit that maps visual properties against your design system. This process identifies redundant tokens with different names but identical values, and flags deprecated tokens still actively in use.

Generate a migration plan by capturing a token inventory across multi-project design systems to find token gaps. The audit identifies visual values that should be tokens, suggests missing token scale steps, and prioritizes these coverage gaps by impact to guide the migration.

Yes, you can check token tiers by auditing token coverage to evaluate whether components use global, semantic, or component tokens correctly. The audit analyzes component APIs and visual properties to ensure the appropriate token tier is applied for each specific use case.

You need a token audit when you suspect token usage inconsistencies, coverage gaps, or hard-coded values are degrading UI standards. Running the audit surfaces missing token scale steps and redundant tokens, enabling you to prioritize issues by impact and restore design consistency.
