Token Injector

Token-Injector Skill

Function

Input: tokens.json + target CSS files Output: Updated stylesheets with CSS variables

Process

1. Parse tokens.json from asset packages
2. Generate CSS custom properties
3. Inject into :root or component scope
4. Replace hardcoded values with var() references
5. Validate no broken references

Token Mapping

tokens.json:

{
  "background": "#1A1714",
  "palette": {
    "waratah_crimson": "#C45C4B",
    "wattle_gold": "#D4A84B",
    "eucalyptus_sage": "#7A9E82"
  }
}

Generated CSS:

:root {
  --color-specimen-night: #1A1714;
  --color-waratah-crimson: #C45C4B;
  --color-wattle-gold: #D4A84B;
  --color-eucalyptus-sage: #7A9E82;
}

Replacement Logic

Before:

.card {
  background: #1A1714;
  border: 1px solid #C45C4B;
}

After:

.card {
  background: var(--color-specimen-night);
  border: 1px solid var(--color-waratah-crimson);
}

Batch Mode

Process all asset tokens.json files:

token-injector --input /assets/*/tokens.json --output /frontend/src/styles/northcote-tokens.css

Integration

Asset-Packager: Generates source tokens.json Claude Code: Executes injection on target files Stylelint: Validates output

Efficiency

Before: 30 min manual find-replace per component After: 2 min automated injection Savings: 93% reduction

Tokens → CSS variables → automatic injection. Manual replacement eliminated.
