design-system-patterns

design-system-patterns is a skill for Claude Code from Dragoon0x/everything-design-taste. It costs 26 tokens per session (1,048 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to organizing shared design rules for colors, spacing, type, components, naming, and themes. These rules help teams build interfaces that look and behave consistently.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define design tokens, component rules, spacing scales, and themes for a growing design system.
Why use it?
It reduces repeated decisions and prevents each component or product area from using its own styles.

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-patterns 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 1mo 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 Patterns

Token Architecture

Three-Layer Token System

Global tokens (raw values, never used directly)

--color-blue-500: #3B82F6;
--space-4: 4px;
--font-size-16: 1rem;

Semantic tokens (meaning, used in components)

--color-text-primary: var(--color-gray-900);
--color-bg-surface: var(--color-white);
--color-border-default: var(--color-gray-200);
--color-interactive-primary: var(--color-blue-600);
--color-interactive-primary-hover: var(--color-blue-700);
--color-feedback-error: var(--color-red-600);
--color-feedback-success: var(--color-green-600);

Component tokens (scoped to specific components)

--button-bg: var(--color-interactive-primary);
--button-text: var(--color-white);
--button-radius: var(--radius-md);
--button-padding-x: var(--space-16);
--button-padding-y: var(--space-8);

Spacing Scale

Base unit: 4px. Scale: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 48, 64, 96, 128.

--space-0: 0;
--space-1: 0.25rem;  /* 4px */
--space-2: 0.5rem;   /* 8px */
--space-3: 0.75rem;  /* 12px */
--space-4: 1rem;     /* 16px */
--space-6: 1.5rem;   /* 24px */
--space-8: 2rem;     /* 32px */
--space-12: 3rem;    /* 48px */
--space-16: 4rem;    /* 64px */

Type Scale

Use a consistent ratio. 1.25 (major third) for compact UIs. 1.333 (perfect fourth) for spacious layouts.

--text-xs: 0.75rem;    /* 12px */
--text-sm: 0.875rem;   /* 14px */
--text-base: 1rem;     /* 16px */
--text-lg: 1.125rem;   /* 18px */
--text-xl: 1.25rem;    /* 20px */
--text-2xl: 1.5rem;    /* 24px */
--text-3xl: 1.875rem;  /* 30px */
--text-4xl: 2.25rem;   /* 36px */
--text-5xl: 3rem;      /* 48px */

Component Design Principles

API Design

  • Props should be obvious. If someone needs to read docs to use a button, the API failed.
  • Use enums over booleans: variant="primary" not isPrimary={true}
  • Compose over configure: small components that combine > one mega component with 40 props
  • Default to the most common use case. Override for the rest.

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.

design-system-patterns is a skill published in the GitHub repository Dragoon0x/everything-design-taste (13 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 26 tokens to every session and 1,048 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-03.
