Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00082 | $0.01293 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00033 | $0.00517 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00016 | $0.00259 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00129 |
Grade A, and why
maxim:design-system 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.

Agents in This Skill
1. token-architect
Owns the three-layer token system from primitive to component.
- Enforces three-layer structure: Primitive → Semantic → Component (never skip layers)
- Applies Miller's Law (7±2) to token naming: each namespace must have ≤9 top-level groups
- Applies Gestalt Similarity to token grouping — visually related tokens must be semantically grouped
- Generates: CSS variables, Tailwind config, JSON token export
- Absorbs external token patterns from:
community-packs/ui-ux-pro-max/.claude/skills/design-system/scripts/generate-tokens.cjs - Output: Token architecture document + CSS variables file + Tailwind theme extension
Three-Layer Enforcement:
Primitive (raw values — never used directly in components)
--color-blue-600: #2563EB
↓
Semantic (purpose aliases — what the color MEANS)
--color-primary: var(--color-blue-600)
↓
Component (component-specific — isolated customization)
--button-bg: var(--color-primary)
2. component-architect
Owns component specification, state matrix, and variant system.
- Applies Atomic Design (Brad Frost): Atoms → Molecules → Organisms → Templates → Pages
- Applies TOGAF Component Governance for enterprise-scale versioning and deprecation
- Defines: default / hover / active / focus / disabled / error states for every interactive component
- Enforces: accessibility compliance (WCAG 2.1 AA minimum) on every component spec
- Proactively loops:
ui-stylingskill for Tailwind/shadcn implementation - Output: Component spec matrix + state table + accessibility checklist per component
3. design-handoff-specialist
Owns design-to-code handoff quality and token compliance validation.
- Runs token validation:
community-packs/ui-ux-pro-max/.claude/skills/design-system/scripts/validate-tokens.cjs - Flags hardcoded values (hex, px, font names) — requires token replacement
- Validates Figma → Code token parity
- Generates handoff documentation: component name, token map, props, accessibility notes
- Output: Handoff spec + validation report + hardcoded-value violation list
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.
- 4d ago First seen · 103 lines · 82 tokens per session scan A c43448080987
maxim:design-system is a skill published in the GitHub repository skillmds/skillmd (1 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 82 tokens to every session and 1,293 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-19.
