Tokens Glossary overview by Marta Conde

Tokens Glossary is a thoughtfully curated resource designed to demystify the foundational elements of design tokens within design systems. It provides clear, structured definitions for key terms such as aliases, primitives, semantics, and modes, helping teams establish a shared vocabulary. By outlining these concepts in detail, the glossary ensures that designers and developers can collaborate effectively, creating consistent and scalable design solutions across platforms.
