ds

ds is a skill for Claude Code from igloude/ds-skills. It costs 27 tokens per session (583 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A router that directs design-system work to the appropriate audit or planning workflow. A design system is a shared set of interface components, visual rules, and design tokens.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose between auditing the design system, planning UI before implementation, and checking completed code for design-system drift.
Why use it?
It helps determine whether to inspect the design system, plan a new feature against it, or review finished work for inconsistencies.

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

ds 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 7d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 42 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

ds — the router

Three sibling skills police design-system conformance. All are report-only — they write verdicts, maps, and plans, never code. This skill only routes; when the user's intent matches a row below, tell them the command (or invoke the named skill if they ask you to proceed).

/ds-doctor    →  audits the DS itself, writes ds/MANIFEST.md + ds/tokens.json
                  └→  everything below reads it

/ds-plan      →  classifies a feature's UI against the DS before it is built
                  ├→ Covered / Composable  →  exact props, to the generators
                  └→ Extension / Net-new   →  DS work items → the DS backlog

generators    →  N branches of AI work

/ds-drift     →  reviews finished code for DS conformance
                  ├→ reviews: verdicts + specs    →  back to the generators
                  └→ plans: self-contained specs  →  cheap executor, or --issues

Reach for

  • /ds-drift — the work exists and needs judging: gate a branch or PR, batch-review parallel agent branches, sweep a repo for token/adoption/a11y drift, audit a DS version upgrade, or reconcile the backlog.
  • /ds-plan — the work doesn't exist yet: a ticket, spec, or design needs classifying against the DS, sequencing into DS-repo vs app-repo waves, or a quick "do we have something for this?" (element).
  • /ds-doctor — the design system itself is the subject: is it enforceable, where are the doc/token/policy gaps, and generate or refresh the conformance manifest (run manifest after every DS release).

The loop

  1. In the DS repo: /ds-doctor, fix blockers, /ds-doctor manifest, publish ds/ with the package.
  2. Before a feature: /ds-plan <ticket|design> in the app repo; ship Wave 0 DS work, hand the map to the building agent.
  3. After generation: /ds-drift on the branch (or batch across parallel branches); feed the review back to the generator.
  4. Periodically: /ds-drift sweep for the baseline, coverage for the trendline, reconcile to keep the record honest.

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.

ds is a skill published in the GitHub repository igloude/ds-skills (8 stars, last pushed 18d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 27 tokens to every session and 583 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-31.
