A bit late to the party here, but I wanted to give my $0.02 in case it helps. The distinction we draw most often is not between the output from tokens, but rather the tokens expressed in Figma (stored as Figma variables) and our source-of-truth token files, which have `.tokens.yaml` extensions. When referring to the yaml files and their output, we call them "tokens in code". I refer to the source-of-truth tokens at "canonical tokens", though, to really emphasize that these are the starting point from a normative point of view. I think "source" _could_ be just as good a term, but that word is used all sorts of places in development... so I think it is handy to have a somewhat unique (and still very clear) term for the source-of-truth tokens. -- GitHub Notification of comment by jaakson Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/design-tokens/community-group/issues/164#issuecomment-1926902792 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
