Why use CSS-first theming with @theme for design tokens instead of JavaScript config?

Using CSS-first theming with @theme allows you to define semantic color tokens directly in CSS, ensuring accessibility and a faster design-to-code workflow. It replaces JavaScript config to better standardize UI patterns across web applications.

Can I use this to enforce a design token hierarchy for multiple web applications?

Yes, you can enforce a scalable design token hierarchy across multiple web applications. The system automates token-driven design and CVA component patterns to ensure UI consistency across projects.
