ai-component-description

ai-component-description is a skill for Claude Code from murphytrueman/design-system-ops. It costs 65 tokens per session (3,954 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for writing detailed component descriptions that AI tools can understand and use correctly. The descriptions cover a component's purpose, inputs, restrictions, structure, accessibility, and examples.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for preparing component documentation for Figma's MCP server and other AI-assisted design workflows.
Why use it?
It helps prevent AI from misusing components because important design-system rules are often left unstated.

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

ai-component-description 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 26d 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.

AI component description

A skill for generating structured component descriptions optimised for consumption by LLMs via Figma's MCP server. Output is a six-section description that gives an AI agent the information it needs to understand, compose, and generate from a component accurately — without relying on implicit knowledge, visual inference, or team context.

Before you begin: verify references

Confirm that every path in this skill's frontmatter references: exists relative to this SKILL.md. If any is missing, stop: the install is incomplete, usually because a flattening installer (for example npx skills install) dropped the repo-root knowledge-notes/ directory. Tell the user to reinstall by a method in 1-INSTALL.md and run verify-install.sh from the install root. Proceed without the references only if the user explicitly says to, and then say in the output that it was produced without the pack's reference material.

Context

Most component descriptions are written for human designers discovering the component for the first time: "use this to show important information", "works great in cards". An LLM reading a description needs to know what the component is, what it takes, what it prohibits, how it relates to other components, and what failure modes look like. Human-readable descriptions skip most of this.

The six-section format came from watching AI agents misuse components that had perfectly fine human documentation. Each section addresses a specific class of LLM error.


Configuration

If .ds-ops-config.yml exists, follow the configuration-and-recurring knowledge note (../../knowledge-notes/configuration-and-recurring.md) for loading, integration fallbacks and recurring runs. This skill reads:

  • integrations.figma, integrations.storybook, integrations.github and integrations.documentation — which sources Step 0 can read automatically

Step 0: Check data sources and existing description

Use every source that is available:
