What is design-system?

Design rules for Pindoc, a project wiki where AI agents write structured entries and people review, approve, reject, and read them.

Use it when designing Pindoc pages, lists, reader views, review controls, statuses, or other parts of its project-wiki interface.

It keeps new Pindoc screens consistent in layout, color, typography, dark mode, and review behavior.

design-system — Skill for Claude Code and Codex by var-gg/pindoc

Install

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.

Any agent

npx skills add var-gg/pindoc --skill design-system

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/var-gg/pindoc

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00000	$0.00774
Opus 5.5	$0.00000	$0.00310
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00000	$0.00155
Haiku 4.5	$0.00000	$0.00077

Security

Grade A, and why

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 2mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 43 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Pindoc · Design Skill

When asked to design anything inside Pindoc — the agent-writable, human-approvable project wiki — follow these rules. This file is the compact, agent-invocable version of README.md. Read both before starting.

Product in one line

Pindoc is a typed, graph-linked project wiki that humans never edit directly. Agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex) write over MCP; humans review, approve, reject, and read.

Design DNA (in priority order)

Developer tool at rest. Linear-density lists. Obsidian-spacious reader. GitHub-PR review flow.
Dark mode is Day 1. Light mode is :root.theme-light, retuned from the same tokens.
Borders define surfaces, not shadows. Shadows appear only on floating UI (⌘K, menus, modals, toasts).
Status color is the only saturated color. draft amber · live emerald · stale rose · archived zinc · rejected red. Accent indigo is restrained — focus, selection, one primary action per view.
Monospace is a signal. JetBrains Mono marks the typed/code-adjacent: artifact IDs, type chips (ADR, FEATURE), area labels (platform/auth), agent names.

Do NOT design

WYSIWYG editors, rich-text toolbars, inline edit pencils. Humans do not write.
Decorative illustrations, marketing hero art, gradient-heavy cards.
Bluish-purple SaaS gradients. Capsule pills (9999px). Emoji in chrome.
Welcoming/cheerful copy (Welcome!, Let's get started ✨, Awesome!).

Tokens

Import colors_and_type.css. Use the variables — never hard-code hex or px from the palette. Spacing scale 4 · 8 · 12 · 16 · 20 · 24 · 32 · 48 · 64. Radii 2 · 4 · 6 · 8.

Density rule

Two densities, by surface: compact (lists, sidebar, queue, graph inspector — 32px rows, 13px text) and spacious (reader body — 16px / 1.6). Never mix within one pane.

Voice

Technical, direct, lowercase by default for status/actions (draft, promote, approve). Title Case only for proper nouns, primary buttons, and headings. No exclamation marks. No adjectives that sell.

What ships with it

20 files 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.

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.
