design-md

design-md is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from humanerd-drew/opencode-drewgent. It costs 14 tokens per session (1,892 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of design-md, MIT.

A skill for creating and checking DESIGN.md files, a Google specification that describes a product’s visual rules for coding agents. These files combine exact design values, such as colors, with explanations of how and why to use them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write, lint, compare, extend, or export design-token files, including exports for Tailwind and the W3C DTCG format.
Why use it?
It helps keep visual choices consistent across projects and catches structural errors, color-contrast problems, and changes that could introduce regressions.

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-md 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 4d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

92% identical to design-md — 25 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 206 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

DESIGN.md Skill

DESIGN.md is Google's open spec (Apache-2.0, google-labs-code/design.md) for describing a visual identity to coding agents. One file combines:

  • YAML front matter — machine-readable design tokens (normative values)
  • Markdown body — human-readable rationale, organized into canonical sections

Tokens give exact values. Prose tells agents why those values exist and how to apply them. The CLI (npx @google/design.md) lints structure + WCAG contrast, diffs versions for regressions, and exports to Tailwind or W3C DTCG JSON.

When to use this skill

  • User asks for a DESIGN.md file, design tokens, or a design system spec
  • User wants consistent UI/brand across multiple projects or tools
  • User pastes an existing DESIGN.md and asks to lint, diff, export, or extend it
  • User asks to port a style guide into a format agents can consume
  • User wants contrast / WCAG accessibility validation on their color palette

For purely visual inspiration or layout examples, use popular-web-designs instead. For process and taste when designing a one-off HTML artifact from scratch (prototype, deck, landing page, component lab), use claude-design. This skill is for the formal spec file itself.

## Overview

Architectural Minimalism meets Journalistic Gravitas...

## Colors

- **Primary (#1A1C1E):** Deep ink for headlines and core text.
- **Tertiary (#B8422E):** "Boston Clay" — the sole driver for interaction.

## Typography

Public Sans for everything except small all-caps labels...

## Components

`button-primary` is the only high-emphasis action on a page...

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
