Design System Token Migration: Keeping Figma and Frontend in Sync

Why Migrate

Design and code drift because design assets are often not versioned like production code.

Naming Strategy

Token names should describe meaning, not just raw values.

"The future belongs to products that solve a problem and make people feel something meaningful."

Sync Mechanism

Automated sync and diff checks reduce errors from manual copying.

Governance Rules

Token changes should move through review and release windows.
