design-system: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

design-system CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from robonuggets/design-system. It costs 265 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for creating a design-system reference page and a one-page A4 brand-book PDF from a website, screenshot, URL, or description. A design system records a brand's colors, fonts, visual rules, and other reusable choices.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when documenting a brand, extracting visual choices from an existing site, generating HTML reference pages, or rendering a printable brand book.
Why use it?
They keep the output grounded in the supplied reference and help avoid invented brand details or incorrect logo redraws.

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-system 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 2mo 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

Design System Toolkit

Give Claude a brand or site reference → get back a full design system reference page AND a 1-page A4 brand book PDF.

What this toolkit does

  1. Extracts colors, fonts, principles from any reference you provide (URL, screenshot, existing site, or description)
  2. Generates design/design-system.html — a scrollable reference page
  3. Generates design/brand-book-a4.html — a single A4 portrait page
  4. Renders design/brand-book-a4.pdf via headless Edge/Chrome

The skill is at .claude/skills/design-system/SKILL.md. Read it first, then follow the workflow there.

Rules

  • Extract from the reference first. Don't ask the user what you can see yourself.
  • Never invent brand details. Colors, fonts, names, taglines come from the user or the reference.
  • Never redraw logos. Use the exact SVG the user provides.
  • Template bends to the brand. Dark is the default, but match the reference if it differs.
  • Fit on one A4 page. If content overflows, tighten or drop a section.
  • Render the PDF. Don't hand over HTML without the rendered output.
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.
