Design Token
A design token is a named, reusable value for a design decision — a color, spacing step or radius — that keeps an interface consistent.
A named value that encodes a design decision — `color-surface`, `space-4`, `radius-lg` — so the same decision is reused everywhere. Tokens are how design systems stay consistent; when prompting AI, naming your tokens in the prompt gives it guardrails.
