Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00074 | $0.03217 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00037 | $0.01608 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00643 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00322 |
Grade A, and why
assembling-components 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 3d 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.

Assembling Components
Purpose
This skill transforms the outputs of AI Design Components skills into production-ready applications. It provides library-specific context for our token system, component patterns, and skill chain workflow - knowledge that generic assembly patterns cannot provide. The skill validates token integration, generates proper scaffolding, and wires components together correctly.
When to Use
Activate this skill when:
- Completing a skill chain workflow (theming → layout → dashboards → data-viz → feedback)
- Generating new project scaffolding for React/Vite, Next.js, FastAPI, Flask, or Rust/Axum
- Validating that all generated CSS uses design tokens (not hardcoded values)
- Creating barrel exports and wiring component imports correctly
- Assembling components from multiple skills into a unified application
- Debugging integration issues (missing entry points, broken imports, theme not switching)
- Preparing generated code for production deployment

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.

assembling-components is a skill published in the GitHub repository ancoleman/ai-design-components (517 stars, last pushed 8mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 74 tokens to every session and 3,217 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
Other skills, from other repositories
design-with-claude
Use when design work needs a product designer's eye: auditing a codebase for design-system gaps, fixing WCAG contrast and unlabeled inputs, choosing type scales or spacing steps, reviewing UI that looks generic or AI-generated, or designing forms, tables, dashboards, navigation, checkout, onboarding, dark mode, and…
mimic-ai
Use when building, editing, or iterating on a Figma design via the Mimic AI MCP server (mimicstatus, mimicdiscoverds, figmacreateframe, figmainsertcomponent, mimicbuildtable, mimicbuildchart, etc. are available), or when the user asks to turn HTML, a prompt, or a Claude Design/Figma Make prototype into real Figma…
pencilplaybook
PencilPlaybook is the UI Skills / Taste-Skill for Pencil.dev + Claude Code — a design playbook that gives Claude real perceptual psychology and senior-level guardrails so it stops producing averaged-out AI slop.
screenshot-to-design-system
Extracts color tokens and component styles from UI screenshots by reading each control region individually (not full-page layout). Generates a complete design system demo with tokens.css and components.html. Ignores backgrounds and icons. Use when the user uploads a UI screenshot, asks for design tokens, color palette…
Brand
Complete brand development system with emotive foundation. Triggers on requests for brand identity, logos, visual systems, or design guidelines. Creates distinctive, anti-AI-slop design from strategy through delivery.
canvas-design
Create beautiful visual art in .png and .pdf documents using design philosophy. You should use this skill when the user asks to create a poster, piece of art, design, or other static piece. Create original visual designs, never copying existing artists' work to avoid copyright violations.
