Instead, tokens should be introduced later, when patterns have settled and teams are already relying on them, to formalise existing decisions and improve consistency.

Design tokens are often introduced too early, before teams have established shared understanding and agreement on naming and component behaviour. This can lead to disagreements and hinder progress.
