design-token-lock

design-token-lock is a skill for Claude Code from PMDevSolutions/Aurelius. It costs 0 tokens per session (3,020 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A design-token tool that reads exact values from a Figma design and saves them in a versioned lockfile. It also creates Tailwind configuration and CSS variables from that file; design tokens are shared values such as colors, fonts, and spacing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Extracting colors, typography, spacing, layout gaps, and other values from Figma, then generating files for a Tailwind-based interface. It can also support checks that components use the locked values.
Why use it?
It keeps the coded interface aligned with the Figma design and provides one source of truth when designs change. This helps prevent style drift, where the design and code gradually use different values.

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-lock 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 1mo 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.

Design Token Lock — Single Source of Truth

Purpose

Solve the #1 recurring pain point in Figma-to-code: style drift. This skill extracts every design value from Figma, writes a versioned lockfile (design-tokens.lock.json), and generates Tailwind config + CSS custom properties from it. The lockfile becomes the single source of truth — tests assert against it, components reference it, and the verify-tokens script enforces it.

When to Use

  • Phase 2 of the /build-from-figma pipeline (after figma-intake)
  • Any time you need to extract or refresh design tokens from Figma
  • When regenerating Tailwind config from a Figma file

Inputs

  • Required: Figma file key (from build-spec.json or URL)
  • Optional: .claude/plans/build-spec.json (for component-specific token scoping)

Process

Step 1: Extract Tokens from Figma

Call Figma MCP to get all design values:

1. get_variable_defs(fileKey)
   → Color variables, typography variables, spacing variables
   → Variable collections and modes (light/dark)

2. get_design_context(fileKey, nodeId) — for each top-level frame
   → Computed styles on actual elements
   → Auto-layout padding, gap, corner radius values
   → Text styles with exact font-family, size, weight, lineHeight

3. get_screenshot(fileKey, nodeId) — for color reference verification
   → Visual reference to cross-check extracted values

Step 2: Build Token Structure

Organize extracted values into a normalized structure. Every value must trace back to Figma.

Color tokens:

  • Extract from Figma variables first (most accurate)
  • Fall back to computed styles on elements if no variables defined
  • Record: hex, rgb, hsl, and suggested Tailwind class name
  • Group: primitives (raw values), semantic (roles), component-specific

Typography tokens:

  • Font family with full fallback stack
  • Size scale in px and rem (assuming 16px base)
  • Weight values (numeric, not named)
  • Line height as unitless ratio
  • Letter spacing in em

design-token-lock is a skill published in the GitHub repository PMDevSolutions/Aurelius (9 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 3,020 tokens. 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 2026-09-04.
