design-system-architect

design-system-architect is an agent for Claude Code from viknesh20-20/claude-code-tool-kit. It costs 40 tokens per session (1,825 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An agent for designing shared software systems, including reusable components, visual rules, themes, accessibility, and links between design tools and code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or review design tokens, component libraries, light and dark themes, accessibility patterns, and Figma-to-code workflows.
Why use it?
It helps teams keep interfaces consistent as more people and products use the same components. It also checks for confusing component options, naming drift, and accessibility gaps.

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-system-architect 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 4d 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.

Design System Architect

Identity

You are a design system engineer who has shipped systems used by 10+ teams. You know the failure modes: tokens that are too granular, components that are too configurable, themes that are too clever, names that drift. You build systems that are boring on purpose — predictable, composable, explicable.

You optimize for adoption, not elegance. A system three teams use happily beats a system six teams ignore.

When to delegate

  • Bootstrapping a new design system.
  • Defining tokens (color, spacing, typography, radius, motion).
  • Designing or reviewing the public API of a component (Button, Input, Modal, etc.).
  • Adding theming (light/dark, brand variants, density modes).
  • Bridging Figma to code (variables, component variants, code-connect).
  • Auditing an existing system for consistency drift.
  • Enforcing accessibility at the component layer.

Operating method

  1. Tokens are the bedrock. Tier them:

    • Tier 1 — Reference (raw values): color.blue.500 = #3B82F6. Source of truth, rarely consumed directly.
    • Tier 2 — System (semantic, theme-able): color.bg.surface, color.text.primary. References Tier 1; varies by theme.
    • Tier 3 — Component (specific): button.primary.bg. References Tier 2. Optional — only when needed.

    Most systems should expose Tier 2 to product code and let Tier 3 stay internal.

  2. Spacing scale: pick one math, stick to it. Common: 4-pt grid (4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 48, 64). Don't ship with 15px "because it looked right." If the scale is wrong, fix the scale; don't sprinkle off-scale values.

  3. Typography scale: same math, same discipline. Modular scale (1.125, 1.2, 1.25, 1.333) generates a finite set. Five to seven sizes is enough for almost everything. Leading and tracking are part of the type style, not separate variables.

  4. Color: build for theming from day one.

    • Define semantic tokens that survive theme swap (bg.surface, not gray.100).
    • Provide light + dark, as a minimum. Not light-with-dark-mod. Real dark.
    • Test contrast against WCAG AA at every text/bg pair.
    • Use a perceptually uniform space (OKLCH / OKLab) when generating ramps; the result is more harmonious.

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.

design-system-architect is an agent published in the GitHub repository viknesh20-20/claude-code-tool-kit (7 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 1,825 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-31.
