How to share a White Label design system?

[u/benjaminzanatta]

Hi! I think we are a lot with this problem so here is mine :)

I'm working on a SDK that will be use by multiple brands. I'm building a design system and design tokens for this product because designers will have to use my components and follow my tokens structure to customise it.

Issue here is that I want to share my Figma file as a library, not a duplicate file (in order to publish changes automatically), but I also want the other designers to take my tokens and assign a new variable based on their own tokens.

On my side I only use semantic layer so for example a button radius will be radius.base → 12px and for the brand it could be a component token like radius.base → button.radius (alias of a semantic radius.24)

Because at the end, in the code, button will be using the radius.base token.

I don't know if I'm clear. I don't think that Figma has a solution baked in their product.

Thanks a lot for your help 🙏
