design-system-creation

design-system-creation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts. It costs 30 tokens per session (627 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to creating a shared design system: reusable interface components, visual rules, patterns, and documentation. It helps teams use the same design language across products.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define typography, colors, spacing, shadows, dark mode, reusable components, design standards, and collaboration practices.
Why use it?
It reduces repeated component work and inconsistent interfaces as products, screens, and teams grow.

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-creation 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 9d 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.

Design System Creation

Table of Contents

Overview

A design system is a structured set of components, guidelines, and principles that ensure consistency, accelerate development, and improve product quality.

When to Use

  • Multiple product interfaces or teams
  • Scaling design consistency
  • Reducing redundant component development
  • Improving design-to-dev handoff
  • Creating shared language across teams
  • Building reusable components
  • Documenting design standards

Quick Start

Minimal working example:

Design System Structure:

Foundation Layer:
  Typography:
    - Typefaces (Roboto, Inter)
    - Font sizes (scale: 12, 14, 16, 20, 28, 36, 48)
    - Font weights (Regular, Medium, Bold)
    - Line heights and letter spacing

Colors:
  - Primary brand color (#2196F3)
  - Secondary colors
  - Neutral palette (grays)
  - Semantic colors (success, error, warning)
  - Dark mode variants

Spacing:
  - Base unit: 4px
  - Scale: 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 48, 64px
  - Apply consistently across UI

Shadows & Elevation:
  - Elevation 0 (flat)
  - Elevation 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 (increasing depth)
  - Used for modals, cards, overlays
// ... (see reference guides for full implementation)

Best Practices

✅ DO

  • Start with essential components
  • Document every component thoroughly
  • Include code examples
  • Test components across browsers
  • Include accessibility guidance
  • Version the design system
  • Have clear governance
  • Communicate updates proactively
  • Gather feedback from users
  • Maintain incrementally

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.
