Defined values for colors, spacing, typography, and radii, kept in one place like a Tailwind config or CSS variables. Using tokens consistently keeps the UI consistent, instead of arbitrary values scattered across components.
Because reusing Button, Card, and Input means every instance uses the same styling. This keeps the UI consistent, since you are not re-styling the same element differently across the app.
Because inconsistent spacing is one of the most visible signs of an unpolished UI. If cards have 16px padding in one place and 20px elsewhere, users notice something feels off. Use a fixed spacing scale everywhere.
