Design Resources

Design Resources is a skill for Claude Code from skillmds/skillmd. It costs 2 tokens per session (1,483 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reference library for design agents with guidance on typography, colors, components, animation, accessibility and design critiques. It also includes a standard DESIGN.md template for recording a project’s visual system.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when defining a design system, choosing type and colors, designing components, planning motion or checking accessibility.
Why use it?
It gives agents reusable design references instead of requiring them to recreate basic design guidance for each project.

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 Resources 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 4d 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 Resources — Curated Reference Library

Practical values, ratios, checklists, and patterns consumed directly by all CPO office design agents.

Purpose

This skill provides a curated design reference library for all Maxim design agents. It contains typography scales, color systems, component patterns, animation specs, accessibility checklists, critique frameworks, and the 9-section DESIGN.md standard template.

Design agents do not need to memorize design fundamentals. They load the relevant reference from this library and apply it to the task context with Maxim behavioral framing.

Sub-Resources Routing Table

Resource Path Use When
DESIGN.md Template DESIGN.md Starting a new project's design system, defining visual identity
Typography references/typography.md Font selection, type scale, line height, responsive text
Color Systems references/color-systems.md Palette creation, semantic naming, dark mode, contrast
Component Patterns references/component-patterns.md Building UI components, form design, navigation, data display
Animation & Motion references/animation.md Micro-interactions, transitions, loading states, easing
Accessibility references/accessibility.md WCAG compliance, focus management, Maxim roles, screen readers
Critique Frameworks references/critique-frameworks.md Design reviews, heuristic evaluation, anti-pattern detection
Brand Design Library references/brand-library.md Brand-inspired UI, "build like [brand]", match a known brand aesthetic

Dispatch Rules

  1. Typography task — load references/typography.md + project DESIGN.md (if exists)
  2. Color task — load references/color-systems.md + project DESIGN.md (if exists)
  3. Component task — load references/component-patterns.md + relevant design-system tokens
  4. Animation task — load references/animation.md + project motion preferences
  5. Accessibility audit — load references/accessibility.md + all relevant component specs
  6. Design review / critique — load references/critique-frameworks.md
  7. New project design setup — provide DESIGN.md template for project customization
  8. Brand-inspired UI — look up brand in references/brand-library.md → load community-packs/design-templates/design-md/[brand]/README.md → apply as project DESIGN.md

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.
