tailwind-design-system

tailwind-design-system is a skill for Codex from jeremylongworth-source/AgentSkills. It costs 66 tokens per session (448 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for building and reviewing web interfaces with Tailwind CSS, a tool that styles pages using reusable utility classes. It covers shared design rules, responsive layouts, accessibility, and how styles are included in production builds.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define design tokens and component variants, fix dynamic class problems, audit responsive behavior, and polish buttons, forms, cards, navigation, tables, alerts, and menus.
Why use it?
It helps prevent inconsistent one-off styles, missing responsive behavior, inaccessible states, and unused or missing CSS. It also makes shared components and visual rules easier to maintain.

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

tailwind-design-system 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 1mo 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

Tailwind Design System

Core Workflow

  1. Identify Tailwind version, framework, styling architecture, component library, token source, and build setup.
  2. Inspect existing patterns before adding new utilities, colors, spacing, shadows, or radii.
  3. Define design tokens and component variants before one-off class strings multiply.
  4. Use complete static class names where Tailwind must detect utilities. Avoid dynamic string construction that the compiler cannot see.
  5. Keep responsive, state, dark-mode, and data/ARIA variants predictable.
  6. Verify production CSS generation and visual output in the browser.

Design System Priorities

  • Tokens: colors, typography, spacing, radius, shadows, borders, z-index, motion, and breakpoints should be deliberate.
  • Components: define variants for buttons, inputs, cards, nav, modals, tables, badges, alerts, and menus.
  • Consistency: prefer shared component APIs or variant helpers over repeated ad hoc class clusters.
  • Responsiveness: design mobile, tablet, and desktop behavior explicitly.
  • Accessibility: preserve focus styles, contrast, hit targets, disabled states, and semantic HTML.
  • Production: make sure Tailwind can detect classes and avoid shipping accidental unused CSS.

Freshness Rule

Tailwind CSS source detection and configuration changed significantly across versions. Verify current official Tailwind docs before giving version-sensitive guidance about config files, @source, content detection, plugins, or production CSS behavior.

Deliverable Shape

For Tailwind work, provide:

  • Tailwind version and integration assumptions
  • Token/component patterns found
  • Source detection or build risks
  • Refactor or design-system recommendations
  • Accessibility and responsive-state checks
  • Production CSS verification steps

References

  • Read references/tailwind-system-checklist.md when auditing or refactoring Tailwind UI.
Files

What ships with it

2 files 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.
