<h2>Clear contracts between tokens and components</h2>
<h3>What this means</h3>
<p>Tokens are the source of truth. Components consume tokens through clearly defined contracts. No hardcoded values. No hidden overrides. </p>
<p>Learn more in the <a href="/getting-started/storybooks">storybooks</a>: Vanilla | Angular | React (available soon)</p>
<h3>Why it matters</h3>
<ul>
<li>Consistent usage of tokens reduces duplication </li>
<li>Change a token once → reflected everywhere </li>
<li>You know exactly where values come from</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<p>This makes your system easier to maintain at scale. </p>
<h2>Reduced handoff friction</h2>
<h3>What this means</h3>
<p>Design intent maps directly to code implementation. Naming, structure, and behavior are aligned across Figma and code. No rethinking layout. No guessing spacing. </p>
<h3>Why it matters</h3>
<ul>
<li>Fewer back-and-forth cycles </li>
<li>Less interpretation errors </li>
<li>Faster feature delivery </li>
<li>You move from “What did design mean?” to “How do I implement this?”</li>
</ul>
<h2>Faster development cycles</h2>
<h3>What this means</h3>
<p>v3 introduces architectural flexibility by enabling components to accept custom injected content, shifting away from rigid, predefined value constraints. This scalability allows product teams to rapidly compose and extend user interfaces while maintaining strict governance and design system consistency. This open architecture significantly accelerates deployment and shortens the overall development cycle. </p>
<h3>Why it matters</h3>
<ul>
<li>Less boilerplate </li>
<li>Reusable logic and accessibility baked in </li>
<li>Faster iteration across teams</li>
</ul>
<p> </p>

</ul>
<p>  </p>
<h3>Why it matters</h3>
<ul>
<li>Clear contracts reduce guesswork</li>
<li>Shared structure improves parity</li>
<li>Reusable components speed up delivery</li>
<li>You write less code with more confidence, and ship faster without breaking consistency</li>
</ul>


This system is built to reduce engineering complexity. It removes ambiguity between design and code so you can focus on building, not interpreting.
