color-systems

color-systems is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Dragoon0x/taste-skills. It costs 37 tokens per session (383 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for choosing and using colors in a product or website. It assigns colors roles such as background, error, success, action, or decoration.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build a color palette, review existing color choices, or find problems such as using red for both errors and featured content.
Why use it?
It prevents color from becoming noisy or confusing. Consistent meanings make interfaces easier to understand, while a small palette keeps attention on important information.

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

color-systems 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 11d 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.

What it actually says

Color Systems

Fewer colors, more discipline. Every color earns its place.

How to use

  • /color-systems Apply color system constraints to this conversation.

Constraints

Palette Roles

  • MUST assign every color a clear role: structural (backgrounds, borders), semantic (error, success, warning), accent (primary action, emphasis), or decorative
  • MUST ensure semantic colors are consistent everywhere (red always means the same thing)
  • MUST keep neutrals doing 80-90% of the heavy lifting. Color is the accent, not the foundation.
  • NEVER use the same color for conflicting purposes (red as both "featured" and "error")

Restraint Rules

  • A 2-3 color palette used with intention always outperforms a 7-color palette used without thought
  • MUST evaluate: can any color be removed without losing information?
  • SHOULD start with one accent color and add more only when the single accent can't carry the semantic load
  • NEVER add a color because "it needs more color." Add a color because the information requires it.

Relationships Over Swatches

  • MUST evaluate colors in context, not in isolation (the same blue looks different next to warm gray vs. cool white)
  • MUST check contrast ratios for accessibility (WCAG AA minimum)
  • SHOULD evaluate how the palette works across light and dark modes

Anti-Patterns

  • Picking colors from a trend palette without evaluating fit
  • Using color as the primary hierarchy tool (color should reinforce hierarchy, not create it alone)
  • Decorative gradients that don't serve information or brand
  • Different accent colors on different pages with no system behind the variation
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.
