One design system to rule them all 1
summary
Company builds a reusable, automated design system that extracts tokens from Figma custom plugin into JSON, parses them with a Kotlin repository and generates platform libraries with KotlinPoet code generator. Three repositories hold foundations/icons/components repos so apps reference static tokens and composables (Jetpack Compose NexusTheme using CompositionLocalProvider and an enum-based init). Light/dark tokens and runtime theme switching work in demos, duplication drops and designer–developer friction reduces while rollout continues.
