claude-design-suite: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

claude-design-suite CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from realmpastai-web/claude-design-suite. It costs 1,068 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A written guide for using the claude-design-suite, a collection of tools for creating website designs. It explains where its skills, commands, data files, brand references, and supporting programs are kept.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps the agent find design guidance, connect related skills, use brand references and CSV data, and follow the suite's build recipes.
Why use it?
It gives the agent the shared context needed to use the suite consistently. Without it, the agent may not know which files are authoritative or how the tools fit together.

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-suite 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 10d 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.

Claude context — claude-design-suite

Use this doc to understand how the 12 plugins chain together and where the canonical data lives.

Where things live

Path What
plugins/<name>/skills/<skill>/SKILL.md Individual skills (YAML frontmatter + markdown)
plugins/<name>/commands/<cmd>.md Slash commands (trigger chains of skills)
data/*.csv 14 canonical CSV databases (styles, colors, fonts, charts, UX rules, tech stacks, etc.)
data/stacks/*.csv Per-stack UI guidance (react, nextjs, shadcn, svelte, swiftui, flutter, …)
design-refs/<category>/<brand>/DESIGN.md 59 brand reference files in 9 categories
design-refs/_template/DESIGN.md Canonical DESIGN.md format (use to create new refs)
scripts/ Python backends (BM25 search, brand matcher, token emitter, Onlook exporter, lint, scaffold)
mcp-server/ MCP server — exposes search/match/generators over stdio/HTTP
figma-bridge/ Figma plugin (TS) + REST API client (Python)
cli/ Bun/TS installer for Claude / Cursor / Windsurf / Copilot / Gemini

Core invariants

  1. Every skill has YAML frontmatter with name and description ending in "Use when …". Required by Claude Code.
  2. Skills reference data by relative path (data/colors.csv, design-refs/fintech/stripe/DESIGN.md). Never hard-code absolute paths.
  3. scripts/search.py is the shared BM25 backend. Any skill that ranks CSV rows or DESIGN.md refs should call it via python scripts/search.py "<query>" rather than reimplementing search.
  4. New brands go in design-refs/<category>/<brand>/DESIGN.md following design-refs/_template/DESIGN.md. Run python scripts/lint.py before committing.
  5. New skills scaffold with python scripts/scaffold_skill.py <plugin> <skill-name> — don't write frontmatter by hand.

Chaining patterns (recipes)

Think of the 12 plugins as a pipeline. Typical chains:

Build a brand from scratch

design-generation:compose-design-system
  → brand-intelligence:generate-tokens
  → brand-intelligence:generate-tailwind
  → brand-intelligence:generate-shadcn-theme
  → onlook-integration:scaffold-onlook-project

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.
