angora-design-system-init

angora-design-system-init is a skill for Claude Code from Aysnc-Labs/angora. It costs 173 tokens per session (5,489 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided process for creating a new Angora design system from the beginning. It gathers design preferences, defines color and layout rules, and builds foundational pages for elements such as buttons, icons, and grids.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define an audience and visual direction, create OKLCH color tokens, type and spacing scales, shadows and corner radii, and build the starting design-system pages.
Why use it?
It turns broad design preferences into reusable visual rules and keeps track of unfinished decisions so the setup can continue later.

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

angora-design-system-init 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 234 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Everything in this repo is scaffolding. Existing components, design system pages, wireframes, tokens, and system.md are all starter placeholders — not approved design work. Use their file structure but replace all content. Nothing here is precious.

Resumability

Before starting, check system.md for an Init Progress section at the bottom. If it exists:

  1. Read the completed steps — skip them entirely.
  2. Resume from the first uncompleted step.
  3. If a step has pending user decisions noted (e.g., "needs: icon set from user"), ask for those before building.
  4. Tell the user where you're resuming from: "Picking up from Step X — [step name]. Last completed: [previous step]."

If no Init Progress section exists, this is a fresh start — begin at Phase 1.

Progress tracking: After completing each step, update the Init Progress section in system.md immediately. Mark the step as done, note any pending decisions for the next step. This ensures the process survives context compression and new sessions.

Phase 1 resumability: Since Phase 1 is a multi-step conversation, record each answer in Init Progress as it's received (e.g., "Step 2 done — audience: mid-stage startup CTO evaluating developer tools"). Include reference analysis notes if applicable. This way a new session can pick up mid-conversation without re-asking questions the user already answered.

Roadmap

At the start of the process (or when resuming), present the full build sequence to the user so they always know what's ahead:

Here's what we're building (you'll approve at each checkpoint):

  1. Creative direction — audience, feel, color world, signature element, anti-patterns, dark mode decision
  2. Tokens + style guide — OKLCH palette, semantic tokens, type, spacing, shadows, radii in browser
  3. Dark mode (if opted in).dark overrides, sidebar toggle, light/dark view routes
  4. Buttons — sizes, variants, icon buttons
  5. Icons — starter icon set as components + downloadable SVGs
  6. Grid + Section — Section container component, section spacing rhythm, grid-gap utility, column patterns
  7. Cards — card types for your pages
  8. Forms — inputs, selects, checkboxes, radios, toggles, all states

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.
