Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00030 | $0.01320 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00660 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00264 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00132 |
Grade A, and why
getting-started 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.

Getting Started with Design System Skills
Overview
This plugin provides 28 skills for building design systems: token generators, component patterns, accessibility guidance, framework integrations, and tool workflows. Each skill is a focused guide Claude uses to help you implement specific parts of a design system.
Quick Start
Building a new design system? Start here:
- Token foundation: Use
design-tokens-structureto plan your architecture - Colors: Use
color-scaleto generate your palette - Spacing/Typography: Use
spacing-scaleandtype-scale - Components: Use your framework skill (
react,vue,svelte,angular)
Adding to an existing project? Jump to the skill you need:
| Task | Skill |
|---|---|
| Add dark mode | dark-mode |
| Fix contrast issues | color-contrast |
| Improve animations | animation-principles + motion-scale |
| Set up Storybook | storybook |
| Multi-platform tokens | style-dictionary |

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.
- 10d ago First seen · 175 lines · 30 tokens per session scan A 31980f6bea42
getting-started is a skill published in the GitHub repository dylantarre/design-system-skills (41 stars, last pushed 8mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 1,320 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
