Design System Tokens FAQs

Question 1

Should I use this skill for Streamlit or Dash projects?

Accepted Answer

Generally, no. The skill specifically recommends skipping token definition for quantitative tools as those frameworks already provide excellent default styling.

Question 2

What are design tokens in this context?

Accepted Answer

Design tokens are the visual atoms of your product, specifically the primary and neutral color choices and typography settings saved in JSON format for use in your frontend.

Question 3

Can I use custom hex codes with this skill?

Accepted Answer

No, the skill enforces the use of Tailwind's built-in palette to maintain design system integrity and simplify implementation.

Question 4

Where does the skill save my design choices?

Accepted Answer

It creates two files: /product/design-system/colors.json and /product/design-system/typography.json, which act as the single source of truth for your app's styling.

Question 5

Why does the skill limit choices to Tailwind colors and Google Fonts?

Accepted Answer

This limitation follows the KISS principle to ensure high-quality results, easy web integration, and consistency without the maintenance burden of custom hex codes or local font files.
