tinte CLAUDE.md

Repository instructions for Tinte, a design-system tool that creates and previews shared visual themes for interfaces. They describe its theme formats, color generation, image-based theme extraction, live editing, and project structure.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when changing theme generation, color palettes, image extraction, live previews, shadcn presets, or the Next.js interface that edits and displays themes.
Why use it?
They explain how themes move between design tools and code, and where the main theme, preview, and editor parts live. This helps agents work within Tinte’s existing design-system architecture.

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

tinte CLAUDE.md 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 2d 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.

Tinte - Agent-Native Design System Infrastructure

Generate, compile, install, and preview design systems from one source of truth. Compatible with shadcn/cli v4 presets and registries.

What It Does

  • Compile theme graph to shadcn v4 registry:base + registry:font presets
  • Convert between 19+ theme formats (shadcn/ui, VS Code, terminals, design tools)
  • Generate semantic color palettes using OKLCH color space
  • Extract themes from images via Ray API
  • Live theme editing with real-time preview
  • Serve installable presets: npx shadcn@latest add https://tinte.dev/api/preset/{slug}

Tech Stack

  • Next.js 16 with TypeScript and App Router
  • Tailwind CSS + shadcn/ui for UI components
  • Culori for OKLCH color manipulation
  • Shiki + Monaco Editor for syntax highlighting
  • Zustand + nuqs for state management
  • React Context for theme state
  • Bun for package management

Color Philosophy - Flexoki-Inspired

Continuous Scale: bg → bg-2 → ui → ui-2 → ui-3 → tx-3 → tx-2 → tx

  • Light mode: bg (lightest) → tx (darkest)
  • Dark mode: bg (darkest) → tx (lightest)
  • OKLCH color space for perceptual consistency

Token Meanings:

  • bg/bg-2: Main/elevated surfaces
  • ui/ui-2/ui-3: Borders, hover states, active states
  • tx-3/tx-2/tx: Faint, muted, primary text
  • primary/accent/secondary: Functional colors

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.
