Semantic token architecture
Maintain meaningful relationships between base values and the UI roles that consume them.
Bezel for Design System Teams
Build a design system that gets used, not just documented.
Bezel gives design system teams a workflow for managing semantic tokens, previewing component changes, and publishing reusable design decisions. Make the same foundation available to frontend developers and compatible AI coding agents.
A maintainable token model
Give design tokens structure and meaning
A growing list of raw values becomes difficult to maintain when its relationships and intended uses are unclear. Teams need to understand what a token means as well as what it contains.
Manage base tokens, semantic aliases, types, references, and export names in Bezel. Shared references let related decisions follow a base value while preserving their distinct roles.
Changes you can evaluate
Review the impact of a token across real components
A token file can be technically valid while producing awkward spacing or unreadable color combinations. Maintainers need visual context before sharing an update.
Preview changes on connected components and use contrast feedback when refining foreground and background pairs. Evaluate the system in use before publishing its next snapshot.
A system builders can consume
Publish standard tokens and make them readable by AI
Design system adoption is harder when developers translate documentation into code and AI agents infer rules from scattered examples. Reusable artifacts give both a clearer starting point.
Publish versioned tokens in the Design Tokens Community Group format. Use Bezel Kit for CSS output and MCP for compatible agents to query tokens and guidelines as they work.
What design system teams can build with Bezel
Versioned design releases
Publish token snapshots with tracked changes and optional release notes for your development workflow.
