CLI that compiles DTCG token JSON into CSS, Sass, TypeScript, Swift and Tailwind outputs, successor to Cobalt UI.
Why it’s a gem
DTCG-native from day one, unlike older token pipelines bolted onto legacy formats.
W3C community group repository holding the design tokens specification, its issue history and the format's ongoing design debates.
Node tool that drives a real browser to extract a site's logo, colours, typography, borders and motion into tokens.
Token management platform with Figma, Penpot, VS Code and GitHub integrations plus theme and mode composition.
Desktop app that extracts colour, type and spacing tokens from any live website and exports to CSS, Figma or XD.
Language server, CLI and editor extensions giving autocomplete, hover docs and validation for design tokens inside your editor.
Statically analyses any CSS file or live URL and extracts the implicit design tokens already hiding in it.
