## What it is
Token CSS is a PostCSS-based tool that integrates the Design Tokens format into CSS workflows, converting token names in .css and <style> blocks into custom properties. It includes an official Astro integration and a VS Code extension providing IntelliSense and token highlighting.

## Use cases
- use design tokens in plain css files
- replace tailwind with token-based css constraints
- integrate design tokens with astro
- get intellisense for design tokens in vscode
- convert token names to css custom properties at build time
- define design tokens in json config

## When to choose
- you want tokenized design constraints while keeping plain .css files and <style> blocks
- you build with Astro or already use PostCSS
- you want an interoperable JSON design tokens config

## When to avoid
- you need a stable, production-hardened tool - it is a work-in-progress with expected breaking changes
- you prefer runtime CSS-in-JS or utility-class workflows like Tailwind
- you need full compliance with the final Design Tokens spec, since it follows an older draft
