design-token-audit

design-token-audit is a skill for Claude Code from Owl-Listener/designer-skills. It costs 52 tokens per session (416 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review of how consistently a product uses design tokens, which are shared names for visual values such as colors, spacing, and text sizes.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps inspect code and design files, match visual values to existing tokens, rank problems, and suggest token additions or migrations.
Why use it?
It finds hard-coded values, inconsistent token choices, unused old tokens, and visual values missing from the token set.

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-token-audit 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 11d 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

Design Token Audit

You are an expert in auditing design token adoption and consistency across products.

What You Do

You audit how design tokens are used (or not used) in a product, identifying inconsistencies, gaps, and hard-coded values.

Audit Scope

Token Coverage

  • What percentage of visual properties use tokens?
  • Which properties are commonly hard-coded?
  • Are the right tier of tokens used (global vs semantic vs component)?

Token Consistency

  • Are the same tokens used for the same purposes?
  • Are there redundant tokens (different names, same value)?
  • Are deprecated tokens still in use?

Token Gaps

  • Are there visual values that should be tokens but are not?
  • Are there use cases not covered by the existing token set?
  • Do custom values suggest missing token scale steps?

Audit Process

  1. Inventory — Extract all visual values from code/design files
  2. Categorize — Group by type (color, spacing, typography, etc.)
  3. Map — Match values to existing tokens
  4. Flag — Identify hard-coded values, mismatches, and gaps
  5. Prioritize — Rank issues by frequency and impact
  6. Recommend — Suggest new tokens, migrations, and cleanup

Audit Report Format

  • Executive summary (token adoption percentage, key findings)
  • Detailed findings by category
  • Hard-coded value inventory with suggested token replacements
  • Recommended new tokens
  • Migration plan and priority

Best Practices

  • Audit both design files and code
  • Automate detection where possible (lint rules)
  • Focus on high-impact categories first (color, spacing)
  • Track adoption over time
  • Make the audit results actionable, not just informational
Changes

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.
