Template: Visual Token Reference Sheet

Purpose

To document all base tokens (spacing, typography, color, radius, shadows, etc.) that act as the single source of truth for both designers and developers. Tokens ensure consistency, scalability, and easy updates across projects.

Usage Notes

  • Tokens must be applied consistently in all wireframes and UI files.
  • Never hardcode values (e.g., “#3B82F6” directly) — always use token name (Color-Primary).
  • Updates in token sheet → propagate across entire design system.
  • Export tokens into dev handoff tools (Figma Variables, Style Dictionary, JSON exports).
