adobe/spectrum-design-data is a monorepo containing the design tokens, component schemas, specifications, and related datasets that define Adobe's Spectrum design system; a monorepo keeps these related packages in one repository. It is for Adobe Spectrum SDK and tooling developers who need canonical design-system data and validation artifacts. The catalogue add-ons provide workflows and integrations for working with this design data.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.01605 | $0.01605 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00642 | $0.00642 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00321 | $0.00321 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00161 | $0.00161 |
Grade C, and why
spectrum-design-data AGENTS.md scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 6d 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.
Recursive force deletehighDestructive command
rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

69% identical to awesome-spain AGENTS.md — 136 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 112 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Agent Instructions
Canonical instructions for every AI tool in this repository. CLAUDE.md files only point here. Package-level AGENTS.md files add local commands; docs/repo-index.md lists every project with its audience and lifecycle.
Shared rules and skills live in .ai/ (see .ai/README.md). Edit them there, then run pnpm ai:sync. Never edit .github/instructions/, .cursor/rules/, or the .claude//.cursor/ symlinks by hand.

Maintainer Workflows
The rest of this file covers maintainer tooling (Beads, Scout, Jira, session close). It isn't needed to contribute to a package.
Issue tracking
This project uses bd (beads) for issue tracking. Run bd prime for full workflow context and commands.
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.
