Tailwind CSS Core: Design System

The design system is the single source of truth for every value Tailwind utilities produce. Spacing, colors, type, breakpoints, radii, shadows: all of them are tokens, and the markup expresses intent within that token system. Mastering the design system is the difference between writing fluent Tailwind and fighting it.
