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 | $0.00168 | $0.04284 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00067 | $0.01714 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00034 | $0.00857 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00017 | $0.00428 |
Grade A, and why
tui-ux 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 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.
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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 390 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
TUI UX review & design partnership
The design-data TUI (sdk/tui) is a ratatui/Elm-architecture terminal app for authoring
and inspecting Spectrum design tokens. This skill helps you evaluate and improve the user
experience — conventions, ergonomics, discoverability, workflow smoothness — using the
tuiwright MCP tools to drive and observe the app.
NOT correctness testing. For regression tests and render assertions use
tui-verify. This skill hands off to it whenever a finding needs a deterministic guard.

What ships with it
2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

tui-ux is a skill published in the GitHub repository adobe/spectrum-design-data (156 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 168 tokens to every session and 4,284 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-10-14.
