Design Systems with Tailwind CSS
How to scale a cohesive design language with Tailwind CSS utilities and tokens.
Tailwind pairs well with design systems because utilities are predictable and refactorable.
### Workflow
- Define theme tokens in `tailwind.config.ts` that mirror your Figma variables.
- Wrap repetitive groups of classes in components to avoid duplication.
- Document patterns in Storybook or MDX so engineering and design speak the same language.
When the visual language evolves, update the token once and every surface picks up the change.
