# /spacing

Generates a spacing scale token file anchored on your detected grid.

## When to use

- The user wants to formalize spacing tokens
- The user asks to "extract spacing", "create a spacing scale", "scaffold layout tokens"
- Cleaning up a codebase that has many off-grid values

## Scale produced

8 steps as multiples of the detected grid:
- xs (0.5x), sm (1x), md (2x), lg (3x), xl (4x), 2xl (6x), 3xl (8x), 4xl (12x)

For an 8px grid: 4, 8, 16, 24, 32, 48, 64, 96.

## Run it

```
dragoon spacing
dragoon spacing --apply
dragoon spacing --format tailwind --apply
```
