design-system

design-system is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jxoesneon/Ciel. It costs 73 tokens per session (2,437 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of design-system-skill, Apache-2.0.

A guide for building frontend interfaces with an existing design system or component library. It helps identify the system's components, visual tokens, and source before code is written.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to discover and reuse components, connect UI to semantic design tokens, and identify gaps that need confirmation before implementation.
Why use it?
It prevents an agent from inventing styles or components that do not match the project's established interface rules.

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-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 15d 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.

Building on a Design System (frontend code)

A way to build UI in a frontend codebase on top of an existing design system. You discover the system, record what you find in a per-project reference, reuse its components, and bind to its tokens — accreting knowledge as you go. The skill holds the method; the per-project reference holds the system.

Rules

  1. Read-only by default. Treat the codebase as read-only until the user points you at where to write.
  2. Confirm before writing. Name what you're about to change and get a clear go-ahead. Don't infer permission from intent.
  3. Verify the system before building; never invent it. Confirm the resolved design-system source with the user, and surface what you can and can't reproduce from it, before generating UI. If the system is ambiguous or incomplete, or a token / component / icon can't be sourced from it, ask — do not silently substitute an invented token, a look-alike component, or a hand-drawn icon and present it as on-system. Fabricated fidelity is worse than a flagged gap.

How to operate

  1. Find the design system — and confirm the source before building. The system's source may be (a) the codebase — dependencies (a UI package like MUI / Chakra / shadcn / Radix, or an internal @org/ui), a local components directory, and the token source (Tailwind config, CSS custom properties, a tokens file/DTCG, a theme object) — or (b) a Figma reference the user provides (a library/file URL), when the real system lives in Figma rather than in code (e.g. a native app with no web component library). Detect (a) by inspecting the codebase; take path (b) whenever a Figma reference is passed (see "Figma-sourced design systems" below). If neither is present, surface what's installed or available and offer those as options, or ask which to adopt — don't invent one. Then confirm the resolved source — and what you can/can't reproduce from it — with the user before building (Rule 3). Also confirm what you're building and where it's allowed to write.
  2. Discover foundations by introspection (see the Foundations checklist below) — read the types, the theme/token source, and any Storybook/docs — and record them by copying design-system-reference.template.md into the project (or a section of CLAUDE.md).
  3. Discover components on use. The first time you reach for a component, introspect its props — its TypeScript types, Storybook args, or source. Record the selection axes + key props + any non-introspectable gotcha.
  4. Build on the framework. Reuse the app shell / layouts / page or route templates the system or app already defines, rather than recomposing chrome from primitives. If undocumented, inspect or ask where new UI belongs.
  5. Capture as you go. Add confirmed patterns and gotchas to the reference so the next session doesn't re-learn them.

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.
