mstar-design-md

mstar-design-md is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from btspoony/mstar-harness. It costs 221 tokens per session (2,250 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A specification for a project-wide DESIGN.md file, which records the visual rules for an application. It covers items such as colors, text styles, spacing, components, motion, and content voice, with different levels of completeness.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create, review, or maintain a project design system, choose an appropriate completeness level, and provide visual guidance for implementation and planning.
Why use it?
It gives developers a shared reference for how the product should look and communicate. This reduces inconsistent design decisions across screens and features.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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

mstar-design-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 12d 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.

Load order

Before first Read of this skill: Read mstar-harness-core (SKILL.md). For Prepare phase integration and gate rules, read mstar-phase-gates. For plan directory paths ({HARNESS_DIR}, {SPECS_DIR}), read mstar-conventions. On conflict, mstar-harness-core wins.

Topic See

YAML frontmatter is the SSOT for token values. Colors, typography, spacing, rounded, and components live in the frontmatter as structured, machine-readable data. The Markdown body is supplementary documentation (rules, intent, usage guidance). When reading DESIGN.md, always parse the YAML frontmatter first; when writing, keep frontmatter and body in sync.

Out of scope: rendered UI preview tooling outside the repo; frontend implementation that consumes DESIGN.md tokens (use @frontend-dev / @fullstack-dev); QC review verdict rules (→ mstar-review-qc).

Location

  • Primary: project root DESIGN.md (human + agent visible, aligns with AGENTS.md)
  • Dark theme: project root DESIGN.dark.md (same token names, different values)
  • DESIGN.md is a project-level design contract, not a harness internal artifact. It lives beside README.md and AGENTS.md.

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.
