Why it matters
Ensure design tokens in JSON and CSS are always in sync, preventing drift and maintaining consistency across your UI. This skill helps manage token updates safely and efficiently.
Outcomes
What it gets done
Inspect the current set of design tokens.
Add new color, shadow, radius, spacing, or typography tokens.
Update existing tokens and audit downstream usage.
Keep JSON token files and CSS variables aligned.

Overview
This skill manages StyleSeed design tokens for colors, typography, spacing, radius, and shadows, keeping their JSON source and CSS implementation in sync. It supports listing, adding, and updating tokens, including Tailwind utility and dark-mode variants. It enforces semantic token names over descriptive ones. Use it to view, add, or modify StyleSeed design tokens. Skip it for applying tokens in components, linting violations, or non-CSS token systems.
What it does
This skill manages design tokens in the StyleSeed design system: viewing, adding, or modifying tokens for colors, typography, spacing, radius, and shadows. Each token type has both a JSON source of truth and a CSS implementation that must stay in sync: colors live in tokens/colors.json and are implemented in css/theme.css's :root plus its @theme inline block; typography in tokens/typography.json, implemented in css/fonts.css and css/base.css; spacing in tokens/spacing.json, implemented via Tailwind utilities with no custom CSS needed; radius in tokens/radii.json, implemented in css/theme.css's @theme inline block; and shadows in tokens/shadows.json, implemented in css/theme.css's :root.
When to use - and when NOT to
Use it to view, add, or modify design tokens in StyleSeed. Do not use it for applying tokens inside components (use /ss-component or /ss-pattern instead), for finding token violations in existing code (use /ss-lint), for brand-wide color or font choices that don't exist yet (define a skin first, then add tokens), or for non-CSS token systems such as Figma or native iOS/Android - this skill is Tailwind v4 and CSS variables only.
Inputs and outputs
Three actions are supported: list reads and displays the requested token file as a formatted table; add adds the token to its JSON source file, adds the corresponding CSS custom property under :root in css/theme.css, adds it to the @theme inline block if it needs a Tailwind utility, and adds a .dark block variant if the token has a dark-mode value; update changes the value in the JSON source file, updates the CSS custom property in theme.css, and checks all components for direct usage that might also need updating. The skill enforces that JSON and CSS always stay in sync, that new tokens use semantic names rather than descriptive ones, such as --success instead of --green-500, that colors support both light and dark modes, and that every new token is added to both the JSON source and the CSS implementation.
Integrations
Part of the StyleSeed design system (MIT licensed, bitjaru/styleseed), built on Tailwind v4 and CSS custom properties, and designed to work alongside sibling skills /ss-component, /ss-pattern, and /ss-lint.
Who it's for
Developers maintaining the StyleSeed design system who need to add or change design tokens correctly across both the JSON source and CSS implementation, without missing the Tailwind utility or dark-mode variant a token needs.
