shade-tokens-not-hex

shade-tokens-not-hex is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from TryGhost/Ghost. It costs 34 tokens per session (431 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A styling rule for Shade applications that requires shared semantic colour tokens instead of hardcoded colours or raw palette classes. Semantic tokens are named roles such as page background, primary text, or default border, so themes can change consistently.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when editing Shade TypeScript, JSX, or CSS to choose the correct tokens for backgrounds, text, borders, controls, and hover states.
Why use it?
It prevents dark mode and theming problems caused by colours that are fixed in individual components.

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

shade-tokens-not-hex scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 today.

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.

What it actually says

Shade tokens, not hex

Every colour on a Ghost screen comes from a Shade token. The rules live in Tokens.

Docs links use https://shade.ghost.org. If the project's AGENTS.md says where Shade's docs are (another address, or a source folder), use that instead. Fetch web pages with curl -s.

Workflow

  1. Name the job of each colour you're about to write: canvas, surface, floating menu, text, border, form control, hover, destructive or focus.
  2. Look the job up in Common semantic tokens. Choose between close candidates with Surface elevation, Interactive surfaces and Form control borders.
  3. Write it the way Rules of consumption shows, in classes and in stylesheets.
  4. When no semantic token fits, Two flavours and Source files say what to use instead.

Self-check

  • Every colour, border and hover in your diff is a semantic token, or a raw token for a case the docs allow.
  • The screen looks right in both light and dark mode. For any dark: class, run shade-no-dark-variants.

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.
