Design Token Checklist

Key takeaways

Start with color, typography, and spacing as the foundation tokens.
Name tokens by purpose, not by value, for long-term maintainability.
Document each token with its intended use case and platform constraints.

Color tokens checklist

Define primary, secondary, accent, neutral, success, warning, and error colors. Each needs light and dark variants. Name them by purpose (color-primary) not by value (color-blue).

Typography tokens checklist

Define font family, font size scale, font weight scale, line height scale, and letter spacing. Cover headings (h1-h6), body text, caption, and code. Test each combination for readability.

Spacing and layout tokens checklist

Define a base spacing unit (usually 4px or 8px), then scale it: xs, sm, md, lg, xl, xxl. Define container max-widths, grid column counts, and breakpoints for responsive design.

How this becomes an OmniSaver record

The practical output of this guide is not another long note. It is a compact record with enough structure to help you act later: the source, the situation, the important fields, the reason it mattered, and the next step.

For AI Context, that means choosing the smallest Saver that matches the moment and saving only the fields that will help you compare, repeat, prove, decide, or reuse the context later.

A simple workflow

Start by saving one real example while the context is fresh. Review it after the outcome is visible. Compare it with the next similar record. Reuse the best version when the situation appears again.

This save, review, compare, reuse loop is the reason OmniSaver uses tiny apps instead of one giant database. Each Saver keeps the record close to the behavior it supports.

Practical template

Record: WebpageSaver record

Save: The key fields, source, date, and why it mattered

Review: What changed, what worked, and what to try next

Reuse: Bring the record back into the next decision or workflow
