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.

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 | $0.00060 | $0.01455 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00030 | $0.00727 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00291 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00145 |
Grade A, and why
generic-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 7d 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.

Generic Design System
Design system reference adapting to any project's visual language.
Research First for New Systems
When creating a NEW design system (not following an existing one):
Skill(ui-research) # Research modern patterns first
References:
- UI Inspiration Sources - Research sources
- Design Patterns - Visual tokens
When to Use This Skill
Use for:
- Implementing UI components
- Choosing colors or typography
- Creating animations or transitions
- Ensuring visual consistency
- Setting up design tokens
- Reviewing design system compliance
Don't use when:
- UX flow design → use
generic-ux-designer - Feature architecture → use
generic-feature-developer - Code quality review → use
generic-code-reviewer
Design System Architecture
When to Build vs Reference
| Situation | Action |
|---|---|
| Existing design system | Follow it strictly |
| No design system | Use this skill to establish foundations |
| Partial system | Identify gaps, extend consistently |
Token Organization
| Layer | Example | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Primitive | --color-blue-500 |
Raw values |
| Semantic | --color-primary |
Meaning |
| Component | --button-background |
Context |
Decision: Use semantic tokens in code, primitive tokens as foundation only.
Consistency Decision Tree
- Component exists? → Use existing pattern
- Similar exists? → Adapt existing (don't create competing pattern)
- New category? → Propose to user, document reasoning
Color System
Every project should define:
- Primary, Secondary, Accent
- Background, Foreground, Muted
- Destructive, Success, Warning
Contrast Requirements
| Use Case | Minimum |
|---|---|
| Body text | 4.5:1 (AA) |
| Large text | 3:1 (AA) |
| UI components | 3:1 (AA) |
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.

generic-design-system is a skill published in the GitHub repository travisjneuman/.claude (97 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 60 tokens to every session and 1,455 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 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 2026-09-03.
