Summary

This PR introduces a comprehensive token parsing system that transforms all 2,338 Spectrum design tokens from hyphen-delimited names into structured JSON objects with schema validation.

What's Included

New Package: packages/structured-tokens/

  • 8 structured token files with all 2,338 tokens parsed
  • 25+ JSON schemas for validation
  • 12 enum schemas for controlled vocabularies

New Tool: tools/token-name-parser/

  • Token parser - Converts hyphenated names to structured JSON
  • Schema validator - Validates against JSON schemas with AJV
  • Name regenerator - Handlebars-based perfect reconstruction
  • 19 passing tests - Comprehensive test coverage
  • 20+ documentation files - Complete implementation guides

Key Achievements

100% Token Coverage - All 2,338 tokens processed (8/8 files)
100% Regeneration Rate - Perfect round-trip conversion
82% Validation Rate - 1,916/2,338 tokens fully validated
Semantic Complexity Metric - Enables token recommendation systems

Token Parsing Features

  • Spacing tokens with space-between relationships
  • Component properties with anatomy parts and options
  • Generic properties with compound names
  • Semantic aliases with reference tracking
  • Color tokens (base, scale, gradient) with theme sets
  • Typography tokens with font properties
  • Compound pattern detection (multi-word components, options, anatomy)

Total 2,338 100% 82.0%

Documentation

Comprehensive documentation included:

  • FINAL_PROJECT_SUMMARY.md - Complete project overview
  • 8 phase-specific result files
  • Schema and parser implementation guides
  • Round-trip verification reports

Testing

# Run parser
node tools/token-name-parser/src/index.js [filename]

# Run tests
cd tools/token-name-parser && pnpm ava

All 19 tests passing ✅

Next Steps

This foundation enables:

  • Token recommendation systems
  • Automated documentation generation
  • Design system governance tooling
  • Cross-platform token transformation
  • Improved designer/developer workflows

Status

🚧 Draft - Ready for review and feedback

…stem

- Created token-name-parser tool to convert hyphenated token names to structured JSON
- Added structured-tokens package with all 2,338 tokens parsed (8 files)
- Implemented 25+ JSON schemas for validation with 12 enum definitions
- Built Handlebars-based name regeneration system (100% match rate)
- Achieved 82% overall validation rate across all token files
- Added semantic complexity metric for token recommendation systems

Parser handles:
- Spacing tokens with space-between relationships
- Component properties with anatomy parts and options
- Generic properties with compound names
- Semantic aliases with reference tracking
- Color tokens (base, scale, gradient) with theme sets
- Typography tokens with font properties
- Compound patterns (multi-word components, options, anatomy)

Files processed (100%):
- layout.json (242 tokens, 74.4% validation)
- layout-component.json (997 tokens, 70.3% validation)
- typography.json (312 tokens, 95.2% validation)
- color-palette.json (372 tokens, 100% validation)
- color-aliases.json (169 tokens, 88.8% validation)
- color-component.json (73 tokens, 76.7% validation)
- semantic-color-palette.json (94 tokens, 100% validation)
- icons.json (79 tokens, 100% validation)

Includes comprehensive documentation:
- FINAL_PROJECT_SUMMARY.md - Complete project overview
- 8 phase-specific result files
- Schema and parser implementation guides
