## What it is
The official repository of the W3C Design Tokens Community Group, hosting the design tokens specification and its website. It defines a standard format for sharing design system properties like colors, spacing, and typography across tools and platforms.

## Use cases
- standardize design tokens across design and development tools
- share a color palette between Figma and code
- learn the DTCG design tokens format specification
- implement design token support in a design tool plugin
- align design system teams on a common token format

## When to choose
- you need the authoritative reference for the design tokens format
- you are building tooling that consumes or produces design tokens
- your design system team wants a vendor-neutral token standard

## When to avoid
- you want a library or CLI to actually parse and transform tokens
- you need a ready-made design system with components
- you only need tokens within a single tool

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: documentation
- domain: web-design, web-development, documentation
- platform: -
- tags: design-tokens, design-systems, specification, w3c-community-group, standards, web-server
