Summary  
This chapter explains how to simplify component styling by using design tokens for consistent theming, style props for inline styles, and building accessibility-first components.

General domain of usage  
Frontend user interface development

Chakra UI is built around a small set of core ideas that simplify styling React applications, including design tokens, style props, and accessibility-first components.

Design tokens represent predefined values such as colors, spacing, and typography, ensuring visual consistency across an application. Instead of hardcoding styles, tokens like `blue.500` reference values defined in the theme.

Style props allow styles to be applied directly to components using props such as `p`, `m`, and `bg`, reducing the need for separate CSS files. Accessibility is a core principle in Chakra UI, with components designed to support keyboard navigation, screen readers, and usability best practices by default.
