FAQ
What are 'components' and 'tokens'?
Components are reusable design parts (like buttons or text fields), and tokens are the basic design values (like colors and fonts) that define the style.
Do I need to know how to code to use it?
Not necessarily. You can use plain text descriptions, but having the app's code can help the tool be more accurate.
Where do I install this?
This text is a guide for an AI agent. You ask the agent to use the tool, and it will know how to access it.
