• Fire up Figma and start a fresh design file.
• Give it a name that makes sense, like Design Tokens Library.

• Add a new page in your file and call it Colors.
• Begin by setting up color styles.
• Look for the Fill option on the right-hand side.
• Hit the + next to Fill to create a new color style.
• Name it something clear, like Primary / Blue 500.
• Add more colors like Secondary / Red 500, Neutral / Gray 300, and so on.

• Create another page and name it Typography.
• Define text styles for headers, body text, captions, etc.
• Use the text tool (T).
• Type some sample text and format it.
• Click the Four Dots icon next to the text formatting options to create a Text Style.
• Name it clearly, like H1 / Large, Body / Medium, Caption / Small.
• Repeat for all necessary text styles.

• Make a new page called Spacing.
• Use the rectangle tool to create spacers for different spacing values.
• Draw a rectangle and set its dimensions to, say, 8px, 16px, 24px.
• Label each rectangle with its spacing value.
• Turn each rectangle into a component for easy re-use.

• Create a new page named Components.
• Design complex components like buttons, cards, and forms.
• Use the color, typography, and spacing tokens you defined earlier.
• Convert these designs into components by selecting the design and pressing Cmd + Alt + K (or Ctrl + Alt + K on Windows).

• Use Figma’s Team Library feature.
• Publish your styles and components by going to Assets > Library (book icon) > Publish.
• This makes your design tokens accessible across different projects.

• Create a page called Documentation.
• Add clear descriptions for each category of design tokens.
• Use text to explain their usage and naming conventions.
• Include visual aids like color swatches, typography samples, and component previews.

• Regularly review and refine your design tokens.
• Update any changes directly in the Design Tokens Library.
• Republish the library to ensure all linked projects have the latest updates.

• Share the Design Tokens Library with team members.
• Encourage input and feedback to make sure the tokens meet everyone’s needs.
• Use Figma’s comment and version control features to manage feedback and updates.

By following these steps, design tokens will consistently be managed and integrated within Figma, ensuring a cohesive design language across all projects.
