type-scale

type-scale is a skill for Claude Code from dylantarre/design-system-skills. It costs 47 tokens per session (1,124 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A typography-scale generator that creates related text sizes from a chosen ratio and calculates line heights. It can produce CSS, Tailwind, or JSON output.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set font-size tokens, create an h1–h6 heading hierarchy, standardize component text, or build a responsive type system.
Why use it?
It removes guesswork from choosing consistent sizes for body text, headings, and smaller labels.

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

type-scale 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (algorithm.ts), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Type Scale Generator

Overview

Generate harmonious typography scales using musical interval ratios. Automatically calculates appropriate line heights based on font size for optimal readability.

When to Use

  • Setting up typography for a new project
  • Creating heading hierarchy (h1-h6)
  • Standardizing font sizes across components
  • Building a responsive type system

Quick Reference: Musical Ratios

Name Ratio Character
Minor Second 1.067 Subtle, tight
Major Second 1.125 Conservative
Minor Third 1.2 Versatile (recommended)
Major Third 1.25 Balanced
Perfect Fourth 1.333 Bold contrast
Augmented Fourth 1.414 Dramatic
Perfect Fifth 1.5 High contrast
Golden Ratio 1.618 Classical, striking

The Process

  1. Get base size: Default 16px (browser default, good baseline)
  2. Choose ratio: Recommend Minor Third (1.2) for most projects
  3. Steps up: How many sizes above base (6-8 typical for headings)
  4. Steps down: How many sizes below base (2-3 for small/caption text)
  5. Ask unit: px, rem, or em?
  6. Ask format: CSS, Tailwind, or JSON?
  7. Generate: Create scale with auto line heights

Auto Line Height

Larger fonts need tighter line height for readability:

Font Size Line Height Reasoning
14px or less 1.7 Small text needs room
15-18px 1.6 Body text range
19-24px 1.5 Large body/small headings
25-32px 1.4 Subheadings
33-48px 1.3 Headings
49px+ 1.2 Display text

Output Formats

CSS Custom Properties:

:root {
  /* Font Sizes */
  --text-xs: 13.33px;
  --text-sm: 14.22px;
  --text-base: 16px;
  --text-lg: 19.2px;
  --text-xl: 23.04px;
  --text-2xl: 27.65px;

  /* Line Heights */
  --leading-xs: 1.70;
  --leading-sm: 1.70;
  --leading-base: 1.60;
  --leading-lg: 1.50;
  --leading-xl: 1.50;
  --leading-2xl: 1.40;
}

Tailwind Config:

module.exports = {
  theme: {
    fontSize: {
      'xs': ['13.33px', { lineHeight: '1.70' }],
      'sm': ['14.22px', { lineHeight: '1.70' }],
      'base': ['16px', { lineHeight: '1.60' }],
      'lg': ['19.2px', { lineHeight: '1.50' }],
      'xl': ['23.04px', { lineHeight: '1.50' }],
      '2xl': ['27.65px', { lineHeight: '1.40' }],
    }
  }
}

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.
