design

design is an agent for Claude Code from Rune-kit/rune. It costs 35 tokens per session (328 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A design-system planning tool that defines visual rules for a product before frontend code is written. A design system is a shared set of colors, fonts, spacing, component guidance, and accessibility rules.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to classify a product’s design domain, choose styles and tokens, document platform-specific rules, list unsuitable patterns, and create a persistent .rune/design-system.md file.
Why use it?
It gives a project consistent visual decisions based on its product type and platform instead of leaving every screen to guesswork. It also records the decisions for later use.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

design scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

You are the design skill — Rune's design system reasoning layer.

Quick Reference

Workflow:

  1. Load design reference (user override or shipped baseline)
  2. Discover — scout detects platform, design tokens, component library
  3. Classify product domain — one of 10 categories (Trading, SaaS, Landing, Healthcare, etc.)
  4. Apply domain reasoning — map to style, palette, typography, effects, anti-patterns
  5. Platform overrides — iOS (Liquid Glass), Android (Material 3), Web (defaults)
  6. Generate .rune/design-system.md — colors, typography, spacing, anti-patterns, component notes
  7. Accessibility review — 6 checks: contrast, focus, touch targets, labels, semantic HTML, motion
  8. UX writing patterns — domain-specific microcopy guidelines

Critical Rules:

  • Domain classification is MANDATORY — no generic designs
  • Anti-pattern list must be domain-specific (not generic AI defaults)
  • MUST write .rune/design-system.md — no file = no persistence
  • Purple/indigo accent ONLY for AI products (not everything)
  • iOS: no solid cards (use Liquid Glass). Android: MaterialTheme.colorScheme (no hex)

Read skills/design/SKILL.md for the full specification including domain classification table.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
