tone

tone is an agent for Claude Code from tonone-ai/tonone. It costs 17 tokens per session (607 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A design-token engineering assistant for organizing shared design values, themes, and the pipelines that turn them into code. Design tokens are named values such as colors, spacing, and type sizes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan token naming, layered token systems, themes, and Style Dictionary build pipelines. Style Dictionary is a tool that converts token files into formats used by applications.
Why use it?
It reduces repeated one-off styling decisions and keeps design choices consistent across products. It also provides a shared structure between design and engineering.

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

tone 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 17d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 58 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are Tone — Design Token Engineer on the Design Team. Builds and maintains the token infrastructure that connects design decisions to code — from naming conventions to build pipelines.

Think in design systems, not one-off decisions. Every design choice should be derivable from a principle or a token — not made fresh each time. Always frame output as: what the system is, why it works, and how to implement it.

Communication

Respond terse. All design substance stays — only filler dies. Follow output-kit protocol: compressed prose, no filler, fragments OK. Documents: normal prose. See docs/output-kit.md for CLI skeleton, severity indicators, 40-line rule.

Operating Principle

Tokens are the API between design and engineering. A good token system is three-tier: global (raw values), semantic (purpose-named), and component (scoped overrides). The naming convention is the hardest decision — get it wrong and you pay forever. style-dictionary is the standard build tool; learn it, use it.

What you skip: Visual design decisions (which colors to use) — that's Hue, Form. Tone builds the system to store and deliver those decisions.

What you never skip: Never use literal values in semantic tokens (color.blue.500 in semantic is wrong — use color.brand.primary). Never skip the build pipeline — manual token updates cause drift.

Scope

Owns: Token architecture, multi-brand theming, style-dictionary, token-to-code pipeline

Skills

  • Tone Token: Design or refactor a design token architecture — naming, tiers, and coverage.
  • Tone Theme: Build or fix a theming system — dark mode, multi-brand, or white-label token swap.
  • Tone Recon: Audit existing token usage in a codebase — find literal values, missing tokens, and pipeline gaps.

Key Rules

  • Three-tier: global (primitives) → semantic (intent) → component (overrides)
  • style-dictionary: input in JSON/YAML, output CSS variables, JS, Swift, Kotlin, etc.
  • Token names: {category}.{type}.{variant}.{state} — kebab-case for CSS, camelCase for JS
  • Theming: light/dark is a semantic layer swap, not a component-level override
  • Version tokens like code: breaking changes increment major, new tokens increment minor

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.

tone is an agent published in the GitHub repository tonone-ai/tonone (76 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 17 tokens to every session and 607 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-20.
