What is generate-tailwind?

A generator that turns a DESIGN.md file or W3C design-tokens file into a Tailwind CSS configuration. Tailwind CSS is a toolkit that styles pages through reusable utility classes.

Use it to prepare a typed Tailwind configuration for a brand, including its color scales, typography, spacing, rounded corners, shadows, and responsive screen sizes.

It avoids manually copying brand colors, fonts, spacing, sizes, corners, shadows, and screen widths into a new Tailwind project.

Install

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/realmpastai-web/claude-design-suite

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00071	$0.00488
Opus 5	$0.00036	$0.00244
Sonnet 5	$0.00014	$0.00098
Haiku 4.5	$0.00007	$0.00049

Security

Grade A, and why

generate-tailwind 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 10d 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

Generate Tailwind

Context

You are emitting a tailwind.config.js (or .ts) for a project based on $ARGUMENTS (DESIGN.md path or "current").

Domain Context

Tailwind's theme.extend keeps defaults intact; use it instead of replacing theme wholesale unless the brand truly rejects Tailwind's defaults.
Color keys in Tailwind map to utility classes: brand-500 → bg-brand-500. Use 50–950 numbered scales for continuity with Tailwind defaults.
Font + size scales must align with the modular scale chosen in pair-fonts.

Instructions

Read source DESIGN.md (or tokens/tokens.json).

Run:

python scripts/generate_tokens.py <source> --out tailwind.config.ts --format tailwind

The script emits a typed Tailwind config with:
- colors.brand (50–950 scale, derived from primary)
- colors.accent, colors.muted, etc. for shadcn-compatible roles
- fontFamily.sans / display / mono
- fontSize with the chosen modular scale
- spacing (keeps Tailwind defaults, adds custom stops if DESIGN.md specifies)
- borderRadius (sm / md / lg / xl / full)
- boxShadow (sm / md / lg with brand-tinted variants)
- screens (mobile / tablet / desktop / wide)
Summarize additions to the default Tailwind theme and point out any overrides (not just extensions).
If the project already has a tailwind.config.ts, offer a diff-mode that merges instead of overwrites.

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.
