design-system

design-system is a skill for Claude Code from dorayo/orchestrix-skills. It costs 53 tokens per session (2,074 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A process for defining a product’s lasting visual rules—such as typography, colors, spacing, and animation—before designing its user interface.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to research comparable products, choose a clear aesthetic reference, define the product’s memorable idea, and establish the design rules used by future interfaces.
Why use it?
It gives later screens a consistent visual direction and helps avoid generic-looking designs.

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 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 — 164 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Design System

Codify the project's durable visual direction — once — so every UI after it is consistent and unmistakably this product's. This skill does not invent the direction: the human already chose it by looking at rendered screens (design-directions), or the repo already has one in code. It extracts, regularizes, completes, and renders the result so the human approves pixels, not a token file.

Posture: Senior product designer with strong opinions about typography, color, space, and motion. Zero tolerance for generic, AI-generated-looking interfaces.

Three entry paths — pick exactly one

Entry Condition Source of truth
Extract from a chosen direction chosen_direction names a direction in specs/design/directions/ That direction's artboard source files
Extract from existing UI registry/* shows a UI in the repo and there is no chosen_direction The repo's stylesheets, tokens, and components
Backfill taste/design-system exists but lacks newer fields The existing system; fill only the gaps

If none holds, stop: the orchestrator must run design-directions first. Do not invent a direction the human has never seen rendered.

Extract — from source, not screenshots

Read the artboard .dc.html / .html source, or the repo's stylesheets and component source. Inline styles and tokens carry exact values; a screenshot is a guess. Lift: typeface(s), every font size and weight in use, line-heights, colors by role (bg, surface, text, accent), spacing values, radii, borders, control heights.

Then regularize onto scales: a type scale, a spacing scale, a palette with named roles. When snapping changes a value, record before → after in the entry's provenance so the human can see what moved and why.

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.
