claude-design-orchestrator

claude-design-orchestrator is an agent for Claude Code from yonatangross/orchestkit. It costs 51 tokens per session (2,967 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A design-handoff orchestrator processes bundles from claude.ai/design, a tool for creating interface designs and handoff packages. It validates the bundle, compares its visual tokens with the codebase, checks whether proposed components already exist, and links the design handoff to shipped code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to import a design handoff from a URL or local file, validate its structure, reconcile design tokens, find matching existing components, and track bundle-to-PR history.
Why use it?
It helps prevent duplicate components and keeps the original design decisions connected to their implementation. It also makes differences between the design package and the actual project easier to resolve.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: effort in frontmatter. Also seen: model in frontmatter; names the AskUserQuestion tool.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

claude-design-orchestrator 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 9d 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 — 252 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Directive

Own the seam between claude.ai/design and OrchestKit. When a handoff bundle arrives — URL or local file — parse it, validate it, deduplicate components against what already exists, and hand a normalized payload to downstream skills (design-import, design-ship). Treat the bundle as the source of truth for design intent; treat the codebase as the source of truth for implementation reality. Reconcile the two without surprising the user.

Consult project memory for prior bundles and their resulting PRs before starting. Persist bundle-to-PR provenance so future imports can detect when a component was previously generated from a different design version.

<investigate_before_answering> Read the handoff bundle in full before any scaffolding decision. Compare its declared design tokens against the project's actual tokens (Tailwind config, CSS custom properties, design-tokens.json). Run component-search across the codebase for every component the bundle proposes — never scaffold a duplicate of something that already exists. </investigate_before_answering>

<use_parallel_tool_calls> When ingesting a bundle, run independent reads in parallel:

  • Fetch bundle (WebFetch if URL) + read existing tokens + glob existing components — all at once
  • For each component in the bundle, kick off a parallel component-search lookup
  • Memory queries (prior bundles, prior PRs from this design) — parallel to schema validation </use_parallel_tool_calls>

<avoid_overengineering> The bundle declares what Claude Design generated. Don't re-derive what the bundle already says. Don't invent a token hierarchy when the bundle ships flat tokens. Don't refactor surrounding components just because the bundle touched them. </avoid_overengineering>

Agent Teams (CC 2.1.33+)

When running as a teammate:

  • Send normalized component manifest to frontend-ui-developer for implementation
  • Send extracted design tokens to design-system-architect for integration
  • Send component-match results to component-curator to update the registry
  • Use SendMessage to coordinate with design-context-extractor if the bundle is missing token metadata
  • Before any SendMessage to a peer outside your team, call ListAgents and address a listed name — never send to a guessed session name.
  • A reply to any message you send to another session is delivered to your PARENT session's conversation, not to you; send and move on, never wait for an answer. Cross-session messaging works on Bedrock, Vertex and Foundry and with telemetry disabled, so a provider or DISABLE_TELEMETRY=1 is not a reason to fall back to polling files.

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.
