design-system-starter

design-system-starter is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from softaworks/agent-toolkit. It costs 36 tokens per session (4,095 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules and reusable parts for keeping an app’s interface consistent, including colors, spacing, components, accessibility guidance, and documentation templates.

In plain words
What is it for?
Create design tokens, plan component structures, set up themes such as dark mode, and document components with examples and accessibility notes.
Why use it?
It reduces repeated design decisions and helps different parts of an app look and behave alike. It also provides patterns for making components more accessible.

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-system-starter 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 604 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Design System Starter

Build robust, scalable design systems that ensure visual consistency and exceptional user experiences.


Quick Start

Just describe what you need:

Create a design system for my React app with dark mode support

That's it. The skill provides tokens, components, and accessibility guidelines.


Triggers

Trigger Example
Create design system "Create a design system for my app"
Design tokens "Set up design tokens for colors and spacing"
Component architecture "Design component structure using atomic design"
Accessibility "Ensure WCAG 2.1 compliance for my components"
Dark mode "Implement theming with dark mode support"

Quick Reference

Task Output
Design tokens Color, typography, spacing, shadows JSON
Component structure Atomic design hierarchy (atoms, molecules, organisms)
Theming CSS variables or ThemeProvider setup
Accessibility WCAG 2.1 AA compliant patterns
Documentation Component docs with props, examples, a11y notes

Design System Philosophy

What is a Design System?

A design system is more than a component library—it's a collection of:

  1. Design Tokens: Foundational design decisions (colors, spacing, typography)
  2. Components: Reusable UI building blocks
  3. Patterns: Common UX solutions and compositions
  4. Guidelines: Rules, principles, and best practices
  5. Documentation: How to use everything effectively

Core Principles

1. Consistency Over Creativity

  • Predictable patterns reduce cognitive load
  • Users learn once, apply everywhere
  • Designers and developers speak the same language

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.
