Does it provide guidance on where to use specific tokens?

Absolutely. It defines specific use cases for each token, such as distinguishing between internal component padding, external margins, and major section spacing.

How does the skill handle responsive design?

The skill automatically suggests adjustments for different breakpoints, typically reducing spacing by 20-25% for mobile to ensure layouts remain tight and readable on smaller screens.

Can I use these tokens in CSS-in-JS or Tailwind?

Yes, the generated tokens and scales are structured logically, making them easy to port into Tailwind config files, CSS variables, or Theme objects in Styled Components.

What base units can I use for the spacing scale?

You can use common industry standards like 4px or 8px bases, Fibonacci sequences, or provide custom requirements to generate a scale tailored to your project.
