design-systems

design-systems is a skill for Claude Code from Mindrally/skills. It costs 46 tokens per session (1,680 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

Guidelines and working methods for building design systems: shared rules and reusable interface components that keep a product's screens consistent and accessible.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit an interface, define design tokens, build typed components, create themes, document components in Storybook, and add visual or accessibility checks.
Why use it?
It helps teams avoid repeating inconsistent colors, spacing, typography, and component behavior across a product.

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-systems 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 16d 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.

Design Systems Best Practices

Guidelines for creating and maintaining design systems that ensure visual consistency, accessibility compliance, and scalable component architecture across digital products.

Workflow: Setting Up a Design System

  1. Audit existing UI — Inventory current components, colors, typography, and spacing across the product to identify inconsistencies and reusable patterns.
  2. Define design tokens — Establish primitive tokens (colors, spacing, typography, shadows) as CSS custom properties or a token format (e.g., Style Dictionary) that serves as the single source of truth.
  3. Build foundational components — Create atomic components (Button, Input, Text, Icon) that consume design tokens and expose a clear props API with TypeScript types.
  4. Compose patterns and layouts — Assemble atomic components into higher-order patterns (forms, cards, navigation) with documented usage guidelines.
  5. Set up documentation and Storybook — Configure Storybook with stories for every component variant, state, and accessibility annotation. Publish as a living style guide.
  6. Integrate testing and governance — Add visual regression tests (e.g., Chromatic), accessibility linting (e.g., axe-core), and a contribution/review process for new components.
  7. Ship and iterate — Publish the library as a versioned package, gather consumer feedback, and run regular accessibility and performance audits.

Foundation Elements

Color System

  • Define primary, secondary, and accent colors
  • Include semantic colors for success, warning, error, info states
  • Ensure all color combinations meet WCAG contrast requirements
  • Document color usage guidelines and contexts
  • Provide light and dark mode variants

Typography

  • Establish a type scale with consistent ratios
  • Define font families for headings and body text
  • Set line heights and letter spacing standards
  • Document font weights and their usage
  • Ensure readability across screen sizes

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.
