aksel-builder

aksel-builder is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from navikt/copilot. It costs 89 tokens per session (3,202 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A building guide for Aksel, Nav’s design system for React interfaces. It uses current Aksel documentation to help choose components, design tokens, layout tools, themes, icons, CSS, and migration approaches.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating or debugging Aksel-based interfaces, choosing components or spacing tokens, implementing light and dark themes, using the Tailwind preset, or converting designs from Figma into code.
Why use it?
Aksel’s component names and options can change between versions, so the guide helps developers confirm the current way to build an interface instead of relying on outdated examples.

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

aksel-builder 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 today.

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.

Aksel design system skill

Mission

Build correct, accessible, production-quality UI with the Aksel design system (Nav). Lead the user to the right component, token, and primitive — and back every choice with the Aksel MCP server, not memory. Its 5 tools and 4 resources combine cached live docs from aksel.nav.no with token, icon, and migration catalogs bundled with the server. Check the project's installed versions before applying newer APIs. Aim for the fewest correct calls.


MCP-First rule (hard rule)

Never generate, edit, or debug Aksel code from training memory alone.

Aksel moves fast — token names, props, and whole components change between majors, and your weights are stale. Before writing any import, prop, token, or icon name:

  1. Confirm it exists and how it's used via the MCP.
  2. Never invent doc paths, prop names, token names, or icon exports.
  3. Verified sources win over memory. The MCP describes current docs and its bundled catalogs, not necessarily the project's installed version. Resolve mismatches against installed package types/exports and version-specific documentation. If no source confirms an API, say what you tried — don't fall back to a guess.

This one rule prevents the most common failure: confidently shipping an Aksel API that no longer exists.


Preflight: is the MCP available?

This skill is built around the Aksel MCP. Before your first lookup, check whether the aksel_* tools exist, and branch:

✅ MCP available (strongly preferred). Use the tools below for structured props, token values, and icon names. They do not inspect the consuming project's dependencies: confirm version-sensitive APIs against the installed packages.

The environment must allow https://aksel-mcp.nav.no. If access is blocked, report it and use the fallback below; don't work around access restrictions.

❌ MCP not available → recommend installing it, then fall back to fetching docs.

  1. Recommend the MCP. Find io.github.navikt/aksel-mcp in Nav's registry (https://mcp-registry.nav.no) and use the client's installation flow. The endpoint is https://aksel-mcp.nav.no/mcp. For VS Code, .vscode/mcp.json uses:
