when working with design tokens, colors, or theming.

We split this design-tokens-guide.mdc into the rules it gives an agent

3 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈2

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 1

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    Add/update colors in tokens.color.light and tokens.color.dark

    line 182
  2. Distinctive:

    Run the build command to generate platform-specific outputs:

    line 186
  3. Distinctive:

    Run tests to verify color conversion accuracy:

    line 273

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 6,350 Cursor rule files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

# Design Tokens Workflow

## Source of Truth
The single source of truth for all design tokens is located in `packages/design-tokens/src/tokens.ts`.
- **Do NOT** edit `apps/web/src/app/[locale]/tokens.css` directly - it's auto-generated.
- **Do NOT** edit `apps/mobile/lib/core/theme/generated_theme.dart` directly - it's auto-generated.
- **ALWAYS** make changes in `packages/design-tokens/src/tokens.ts`.

## Color Space
- **SSOT Format**: OKLCH (Lightness, Chroma, Hue)
- **Web Output**: CSS OKLCH variables (P3 wide-gamut support)
- **Mobile Output**: Flutter `Color.from(colorSpace: ColorSpace.displayP3)` for P3 colors

## Token Structure

```typescript
// packages/design-tokens/src/tokens.ts
export interface OklchColor {
  l: number;  // Lightness: 0 (black) to 1 (white)
  c: number;  // Chroma: 0 (gray) to 0.4+ (vivid)
  h: number;  // Hue: 0-360 degrees on color wheel
  a?: number; // Alpha: 0-1, defaults to 1
}

const oklch = (l: number, c: number, h: number, a?: number): OklchColor => ({
  l, c, h, ...(a !== undefined && { a }),
});

export const tokens = {
  color: {
    light: {

};
```

## Workflow

### 1. Modify Tokens
Edit `packages/design-tokens/src/tokens.ts`:
- Add/update colors in `tokens.color.light` and `tokens.color.dark`
- Modify radius, spacing, typography, or style values

### 2. Build & Distribute
Run the build command to generate platform-specific outputs:

```bash
mise //packages/design-tokens:build
```

This generates:
- **Web**: `apps/web/src/app/[locale]/tokens.css` (OKLCH CSS variables)
- **Mobile**: `apps/mobile/lib/core/theme/generated_theme.dart` (ForUI FThemeData)

### 3. Watch Mode (Development)
For automatic rebuilds during development:

```bash
mise //packages/design-tokens:dev
```

## Adding New Colors

### Available Color Categories

The token system provides these color categories:

- **Base Colors**: `primary`, `secondary`, `accent`, `foreground`, `background`
- **Component Colors**: `card`, `popover`, `sidebar`, `input`, `border`
- **Feedback Colors**: `destructive`, `muted`, `ring`
- **Chart Colors**: `chart1` through `chart5` (for data visualization)
- **Semantic Colors**: `info`, `success`, `warning` (convenience layer)

### Step 1: Add to tokens.ts

```typescript
color: {
  light: {
    // Use oklch() helper for new colors
    newColor: oklch(0.65, 0.2, 145),
    newColorForeground: oklch(0.205, 0, 0),
  },
  dark: {
    // Add same colors with dark mode values
    newColor: oklch(0.65, 0.2, 145),
    newColorForeground: oklch(0.985, 0, 0),
  },
}
```

### Step 2: Build
```bash
mise //packages/design-tokens:build
```

### Step 3: Use in Code

**Web (CSS variable):**
```css
background-color: oklch(var(--color-newColor) / var(--alpha));
```

**Mobile (Flutter theme):**
```dart
Color.from(
  colorSpace: ColorSpace.displayP3,
  l: tokens.newColor.l,
  c: tokens.newColor.c,
  h: tokens.newColor.h,
)
```

## OKLCH Color Guide

| Component | Range | Description |
|-----------|-------|-------------|
| L (Lightness) | 0-1 | 0 = black, 1 = white |
| C (Chroma) | 0-0.4+ | 0 = gray, higher = more vivid |
| H (Hue) | 0-360 | Color wheel angle |
| A (Alpha) | 0-1 | Optional, defaults to 1 |

### Common Hue Values
- 0: Red
- 30: Orange
- 60: Yellow
- 130: Lime Green (primary)
- 180: Cyan
- 240: Blue
- 300: Magenta

## Testing
Run tests to verify color conversion accuracy:

```bash
mise //packages/design-tokens:test
```

Tests cover:
- OKLCH to P3 conversion accuracy
- CSS generation correctness
- Flutter theme generation
- Edge cases and boundary conditions
