implement-design-handoff

implement-design-handoff is a skill for Claude Code from oalders/kitchen-sink. It costs 88 tokens per session (3,323 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for turning a design-tool handoff into the real templates and CSS of an application. A design handoff is the exported visual specification developers use to reproduce a component or page.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to connect exported HTML cards and component source to an application's templates and styles, then compare the implemented rendering with the handoff.
Why use it?
A page can match the code while still differing visibly from the supplied design. This process checks the rendered result against the design so details such as spacing, logos, fields, and navigation are not missed.

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

implement-design-handoff 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 8d 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.

Implement Design Handoff

Overview

Wiring a design-system handoff — a rendered component/card export from a design tool — into an app's real templates and stylesheet is a recurring, stack-agnostic task with a recurring set of failure modes. The mistakes are predictable, and the ordering of the steps is what prevents them.

Core principle: the rendered card is the source of truth for appearance, and you are not done until you have put the rendered result beside the design, property by property. A diff looks clean while shipping an oval logo, a search field mashed against the brand, nav links the design shows but the page hid, and a wordmark bolded that the design renders plain. Every one of those is obvious in a five-second side-by-side and invisible in the diff. This skill forces that side-by-side and orders the steps so the cheap mistakes die first.

When to Use

Use when:

  • Implementing a design handoff / component export into real templates and CSS
  • "Build this design", "apply the design handoff", wiring *.card.html cards + component source into an app
  • Writing a GitHub issue that points a later implementing agent at a design (the second mode below)

Skip when:

  • Greenfield UI with no design-tool export to reproduce faithfully
  • Pure logic/data changes with no visual surface

The Failure Modes (what this skill prevents)

The same handoffs fail the same ways, every time:

  • Trusting the handoff's prose/README over the rendered card.
  • Approximating colors and spacing by eye instead of using the real tokens.
  • Restyling a shared partial/component that feeds more than one page, silently changing pages the handoff never mentioned.
  • Fighting the screenshot/preview tooling and giving up on visual verification.
  • Two defects that pass functional tests and screenshots yet still miss the design: character-level text drift (smart vs straight quotes, decorative wrapping glyphs, punctuation, casing, ellipsis) and orphaned input bindings (an input the form still collects but the redesign renders nowhere).
  • The costliest: declaring it done before ever putting the rendered result beside the design.
