new-component

A command that runs a staged process for turning a new design-system component into code. A design-system component is a reusable interface element such as a tooltip, and Figma is a design application used to create its visual version.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding a component from Figma, synchronizing new design tokens, and creating its code and Storybook examples. Storybook is a tool for viewing and testing interface components in isolation.
Why use it?
It keeps the design, shared style settings, code, and tests aligned, with a pause for confirmation between stages.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

new-component 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 3d 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

Run the component-pipeline orchestrator skill to take one new component from Figma all the way to a tested, storied code component.

Ask the user which component they want to add (e.g. "Tooltip"), confirm the goal, then sequence the stages per the component-pipeline rule: build in Figma (component-builder) → sync any new tokens (token-sync-layer) → build code + stories (storybook-chromatic-builder), pausing for confirmation between each.

Use the existing settings in design-system.json (project.uiFramework, sync.platforms, figma.mechanism, etc.) rather than re-asking configuration. Scale explanation to user.codingLevel. If foundations are missing, note that the individual setup skills are the better starting point.

Changes

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.

new-component is a command published in the GitHub repository jrpease/throughline (76 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 163 tokens. 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 2026-08-30.
