Defined values for colors, spacing, typography, and radii, kept in one place like a Tailwind config or CSS variables. Using tokens consistently keeps the UI consistent, instead of arbitrary values scattered across components.
Because reusing Button, Card, and Input means every instance uses the same styling. This keeps the UI consistent, since you are not re-styling the same element differently across the app.
