## Description

This tool handles the conversion, resolution, and generation of design tokens across different platforms like web, mobile, and various CSS syntaxes. Managing a design system across multiple tech stacks often leads to a mess of manual copy-pasting and variable updates. One small mistake in a JSON file can break your entire UI across different apps. This Connector takes that headache off your plate by handling the heavy lifting of token conversion and generation. You can swap between different syntaxes like Tailwind and standard CSS without worrying about the underlying logic. It even handles the math for complex tasks like generating a full color scale from just a few anchor points or creating consistent dark mode themes by adjusting lightness values. Instead of spending hours auditing your design variables, you can just tell your agent to do the conversion for you. It's a huge time saver for anyone trying to keep a brand consistent across different tech stacks. You'll find this works great as part of your broader toolkit in the Vinkius catalog, making it easy to keep your design system in sync without the usual friction. By using Design Token Transformer, you ensure that your design language stays unified whether you are targeting Android, iOS, or the web.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Convert these JSON tokens to CSS: {"color": {"primary": "#007bff"}}
```

**Response:** 
```
Here is your CSS output:

```css
:root {
  --color-primary: #007bff;
}
```
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Generate a color scale using #f8f9fa, #6c757d, and #212529 as anchors.
```

**Response:** 
```
I've generated your 50-950 color scale:

| Weight | Hex Code |
| :--- | :--- |
| 50 | #f8f9fa |
| 100 | #f1f3f5 |
| 200 | #e9ecef |
| 300 | #dee2e6 |
| 400 | #ced4da |
| 500 | #adb5bd |
| 600 | #6c757d |
| 700 | #495057 |
| 800 | #343a40 |
| 900 | #212529 |
| 950 | #1a1d20 |
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Generate dark mode tokens from this JSON: {"color": {"primary": "#007bff"}}
```

**Response:** 
```
Here are your dark mode tokens:

```json
{
  "color": {
    "primary": "#004a99"
  }
}
```
```

## Capabilities

### Convert tokens between syntaxes
Swap design tokens between JSON, CSS, SCSS, and Tailwind formats instantly.

### Resolve internal aliases
Automatically map aliases to their primitive values during conversion.

### Generate dark mode themes
Create dark mode palettes by adjusting OKLCH lightness for visual consistency.

### Produce color weight scales
Generate a complete 50-950 color weight scale from three anchor colors.

### Sync multi-platform styles
Keep your design language consistent across web, iOS, and Android apps.

## Use Cases

### Syncing Figma to Tailwind
A designer has a JSON file from Figma and needs it in Tailwind. They ask the agent to use `transform_tokens` to convert the data and resolve all aliases.

### Building a Dark Mode
A developer needs a dark theme for a primary brand color. They ask the agent to use `generate_dark_mode_tokens` to create a consistent theme using OKLCH logic.

### Creating a Color Palette
A brand manager provides three colors for a new UI. They ask the agent to use `generate_color_scale` to produce a full 50-950 weight system for the whole app.

### Multi-Platform Consistency
A team is launching on iOS and Android. They use `transform_tokens` to convert their web design tokens into mobile-friendly formats for their native apps.

## Benefits

- Stop manually updating variables in multiple files by using `transform_tokens` to sync your brand across different codebases. This keeps your UI consistent and saves you from the risk of human error during manual data entry.
- Ensure visual consistency in dark mode themes by using `generate_dark_mode_tokens` to handle OKLCH lightness math automatically. You get a professional look without having to guess which hex codes work best.
- Build out full color systems faster by using `generate_color_scale` to create 50-950 weights from just three colors. It takes the guesswork out of creating accessible palettes for your new components.
- Reduce bugs caused by broken aliases by letting the Connector resolve internal tokens to their primitive values during conversion. This ensures that your variables always point to the correct base values every time.
- Save hours of tedious work by converting design tokens between JSON, CSS, SCSS, and Tailwind in a single command. You can move between different tech stacks without having to rewrite your entire design system from scratch.

## How It Works

The bottom line is you get perfectly formatted design tokens for any platform without manual calculation.

1. Provide your current design tokens in any format like JSON or CSS.
2. Tell your agent which target format or action you need, like a color scale or dark mode.
3. Get the completed tokens ready for your project files.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How can I use Design Token Transformer to sync my brand colors?**
You can provide your source design tokens in JSON or CSS and ask your agent to convert them into your target format, such as Tailwind or SCSS, to ensure your brand colors stay consistent across all platforms.

**Can Design Token Transformer convert JSON to Tailwind?**
Yes, it can convert JSON tokens into Tailwind syntax while also resolving any internal aliases to their base values so your styles don't break.

**How to generate a dark mode theme using Design Token Transformer?**
Simply provide your primary tokens and ask the agent to generate a dark mode theme. It uses OKLCH lightness adjustments to create a visually consistent dark version of your brand.

**Does Design Token Transformer work for Android and iOS?**
Yes, it is designed to help you convert and sync design tokens across web, Android, and iOS platforms, making it easy to maintain a unified design language.

**How can I create a 50-950 color scale with Design Token Transformer?**
Provide three anchor colors, and the tool will automatically calculate and produce a full 50-950 weight scale for your design system.

**Can Design Token Transformer resolve design aliases?**
Yes, when you use the conversion tools, it automatically resolves internal aliases to their primitive values to ensure your tokens are accurate.

**How can I convert tokens from JSON to Tailwind?**
Use the `transform_tokens` tool, specifying 'json' as your `sourceFormat` and 'tailwind' as your `targetFormat`. Tools available: `your_tool_name`.

**Can this tool handle color aliases?**
Yes, the `transform_tokens` tool automatically resolves all internal references and aliases to their primitive values during transformation.

**How do I generate a dark mode theme?**
Use the `generate_dark_mode_tokens` tool with your existing light-mode JSON token data. It uses OKLCH lightness inversion for visual consistency.
