Design tokens across brands without forking chaos

One platform powering multiple sub-brands is a scaling win—until every brand becomes a fork. Tokens are contracts between design and engineering: versioned like dependencies, documented like APIs, and released with predictable trains.

Naming that survives rebrands

Prefer semantic tokens (brand.primary, text.default) over literal color names in component APIs.

Theming strategy

• Core tokens shared across brands
• Brand overlays for palette, typography, radius, and motion accents
• Strict boundaries for what a brand can override without breaking components

Risk	Mitigation
Token explosion	Consolidate aliases
Inconsistent components	Lint token usage in CI
Slow releases	Automated diff + migration notes

Release trains

Treat breaking token changes like breaking API changes: migration windows, codemods where possible, and clear ownership.
