You are establishing the design system foundation. Tokens defined here are used by every component in `/frontend-design`. Get this right before building anything. First, check: does a design system already exist for this project? Ask the user to confirm. If yes, document the existing tokens rather than inventing new ones. Pull from Figma or existing CSS files if accessible. If starting from scratch, create CSS custom properties across these five categories: **Color** Brand colors (primary, secondary, accent), semantic colors (action, destructive, success, warning), neutral scale (background, surface, border, text), feedback colors (error, warning, success, info). Name every token by its purpose, not its value. Use `--color-action` not `--color-blue`. Use `--color-text-primary` not `--color-gray-900`. **Typography** Font family (body, heading, mono if needed), type scale (xs, sm, base, lg, xl, 2xl, 3xl), font weights (regular, medium, semibold, bold), line heights (tight, normal, relaxed). **Spacing** A consistent scale, not arbitrary values. Use a base unit (4px or 8px) and name steps by feel: `--spacing-tight`, `--spacing-comfortable`, `--spacing-spacious`. At minimum: 4px, 8px, 12px, 16px, 24px, 32px, 48px, 64px. **Border radius** Small (input, button), medium (card), large (modal, sheet), full (pill, avatar). **Motion** A duration scale (fast, default, slow) and one easing curve. Justify the slow end against the slowest device your user is actually holding. Output
