Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00051 | $0.03723 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00020 | $0.01489 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00745 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00372 |
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 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 458 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Design System Skill
Degree of freedom: MIXED. Token taxonomy and variants [HIGH freedom];
existing ui/ / token inventory [LOW freedom — run exactly].
Build scalable, maintainable design systems with consistent tokens, variants, and documentation.
How to reason
- Inventory —
components/ui, tokens,cva, shadcn/Radix - Tokenize — semantic tokens, not raw hex in components
- Variant —
cvacovers real states (default/destructive/disabled) - Document — JSDoc, keyboard/focus, dark mode
Worked example
Inventory: shadcn
Buttonexists; colors are raw#3B82F6in three pages; no--primary. Tokenize:--primary/--primary-foregroundinglobals.css; Tailwind mapshsl(var(--primary)). Variant: extend existingbuttonVariants— do not addcomponents/Button2.tsx. Document: JSDoc lists variants/sizes; focus ring + dark.darkoverrides.
Self-critique before reporting
- Did not fork — existing primitives were extended, not recreated
- Semantic tokens — components reference tokens, not primitives or hex
- A11y + dark — focus, disabled, and dark variants exist
- Right owner — drifted existing system →
housekeep-design; plan-only unification →plan-uiux-unification
Check existing first [LOW freedom — run exactly]
Before creating ANY design system components, verify:
- Check for existing design system:
ls -la src/components/ui/
cat package.json | grep -i "shadcn\|radix\|headless"
cat components.json 2>/dev/null # shadcn config
- Check for existing tokens:
cat tailwind.config.* | head -100
cat src/styles/globals.css | head -50
rg "var\(--" --type css | head -20
- Check for existing patterns:
rg "cva\(|variants:" --type ts --type tsx | head -10
rg "cn\(|clsx\(|twMerge" --type tsx | head -5
Why: Don't recreate existing primitives. Extend and enhance what exists.
Design Tokens [HIGH freedom]
Face and ground are choices, not defaults: Inter/Roboto/Arial, a cream/off-white page, and a purple-gradient primary are the fallbacks to name and avoid. Add --font-sans / --font-display tokens for the faces you pick.
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.

design-system is a skill published in the GitHub repository kensaurus/cursor-kenji (9 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 51 tokens to every session and 3,723 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-03.
