Skill: Token Build

SkillAI & models

Set up or run the token build pipeline — transform the DTCG tokens/*.json (source of truth) into platform artifacts (CSS variables, Tailwind @theme, JS/TS, iOS Asset Catalog, Android, Compose) with Style Dictionary / Tokens Studio / W3C DTCG export. Use when the user wants to generate platform theme files from tokens, wire token CI, or multi-platform token output.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Connect ahel once, and every AI you use reads what you have installed.

The instructions your AI receives, as published by plugin87/ux-ui-agent-skills in .claude/skills/token-build/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Turn the DTCG token source of truth into platform-ready outputs. Tokens are authored once; every platform output is generated.

Steps

  1. Read workflows/token-build.md (architecture, tool options, resolution rules, output targets, CI).
  2. Pick the tool: Style Dictionary (multi-platform, the default), Tokens Studio (Figma-owned tokens — pairs with figma-integration), W3C DTCG export, or a small custom script (model on scripts/validate_tokens.py).
  3. Honor the resolution rules: resolve aliases to final values per platform; expose semantic + component tokens (primitives stay internal); emit base + dark/brand/density overrides (tokens/theming.json) as deltas only; format by $type.
  4. Generate the requested target(s): CSS :root vars, Tailwind v4 @theme, typed JS/TS, iOS Asset Catalog + Color.DS/Spacing, Android colors.xml/Compose theme.
  5. Wire CI: on tokens/*.json change, run scripts/validate_tokens.py, regenerate, fail if committed artifacts are stale; gate colors with scripts/contrast.py.

Verification (definition of done)

  • python3 scripts/validate_tokens.py passes (no unresolved aliases).
  • Regenerating produces no diff vs. committed artifacts.
  • Dark/brand/density outputs contain only deltas, not full duplicates.
