design-stylecards

design-stylecards is a command for Claude Code, Cursor from yonatangross/orchestkit. It costs 86 tokens per session (1,050 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A catalogue of named visual design recipes with exact values for shadows, glass effects, gradients, and type sizes, plus guidance on when to use each recipe.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose or apply a consistent visual treatment to interface components and backgrounds.
Why use it?
It replaces vague directions such as “make it look polished” with repeatable values that can be reviewed and reused.

Command for Claude CodeCursor

Written for Claude Code and Cursor: allowed-tools in frontmatter, but also a Cursor plugin manifest. Also seen: model in frontmatter.

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

design-stylecards 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 7d 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 Stylecards

Specs beat vibes. A stylecard is a named aesthetic recipe with exact values — the difference between "add a nice shadow" (reinvented differently every session) and elevation/md (identical every time, reviewed once, versioned forever).

/ork:design-stylecards list                      # Catalog index
/ork:design-stylecards elevation/md              # Show one recipe
/ork:design-stylecards apply glass/dark to src/components/Panel.tsx

Why declarative recipes

Pipeline skills (design-to-code, design-context-extract) answer how to produce design output. Stylecards answer what good looks like — as literal values an agent pastes, not adjectives it interprets. Inspired by MengTo/Skills' stylecard micro-skills (MIT), consolidated into one catalog to avoid manifest sprawl.

Workflow

1. Resolve the request to a recipe

Read("${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/design-stylecards/references/stylecards.md")   # The catalog — always read before choosing
# Match the user's intent to ONE recipe by its Use-When line.
# No match → say so and offer the closest two; never freehand values.

2. Show or apply

  • Show: print the recipe verbatim — values, Use-When, Avoid. No paraphrasing values.
  • Apply: edit the target file using the recipe's exact values. Adapt only the syntax (Tailwind arbitrary class ↔ plain CSS ↔ CSS custom property), never the numbers.

3. Respect the recipe's Avoid block

Every recipe ends with falsifiable Avoid rules (e.g. "never stack two elevation recipes on one element"). Violating an Avoid rule to satisfy a user request requires saying so explicitly.

Catalog index

Full recipes with exact values: references/stylecards.md.

Recipe Use when
elevation/sm md lg Layered neutral shadows — compact controls / cards / hero surfaces
glass/dark Frosted glass panel on a dark backdrop
border/gradient 1px gradient border without a wrapper hack
background/mesh 2–3 hue radial mesh page background
type/editorial Display + body + mono role split with tracking values
motion/budget The four allowed durations + the one-signature-moment rule

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-stylecards is a command published in the GitHub repository yonatangross/orchestkit (229 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 86 tokens to every session and 1,050 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-08-30.
