color-theory

color-theory is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mtarcure/claude-vibe-squad. It costs 62 tokens per session (301 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for creating a reusable color palette for a visual system. It assigns colors to roles such as backgrounds, text, and interaction states while considering cultural meaning and color-vision deficiency.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose a color harmony, define light and dark color tokens, assign semantic roles, and plan accessible interaction states.
Why use it?
It helps keep colors consistent and usable across an interface. It also prevents interactions from being communicated by hue alone, which some people cannot distinguish.

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

color-theory 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 2mo 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

Color Theory

Choose and justify a color system for a design by mechanism — harmony, contrast, and meaning — not by taste alone.

Steps

  1. State the job the palette must do: hierarchy, mood, brand fit, and any accessibility target.
  2. Build the palette from a defined relationship (complementary, analogous, triadic, mono) plus neutrals; give each role a name (primary/accent/surface/text), not just a hex.
  3. Check contrast for every text/background pair against the WCAG target (hand off measurement to wcag-conformance-audit); never ship a pair on vibes.
  4. Account for color meaning/culture and color-vision deficiency; ensure no state is encoded by hue alone.
  5. Define the palette as tokens with light/dark values so the system, not a one-off, carries the color.

Acceptance

  • Each color has a named role and a stated relationship to the others.
  • Every text/background pair meets the declared contrast target; no hue-only signaling.
  • The palette is expressed as reusable tokens, not scattered hex values.

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.

color-theory is a skill published in the GitHub repository mtarcure/claude-vibe-squad (211 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 62 tokens to every session and 301 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 2026-08-30.
