design-systems

design-systems is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from varutasu/agent-pipeline. It costs 0 tokens per session (2,593 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for reviewing or creating a design system: the shared rules, reusable interface parts, and visual values used across a product.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess a design system, plan its components and design tokens, choose how it is managed, and recommend ways for teams to adopt it.
Why use it?
It helps identify duplicated interface patterns and decide what to improve, standardise, or postpone.

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-systems 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 8d 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 — 199 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.


name: design-systems description: >- Audit or design a component/token/governance system. Produces a maturity assessment + concrete recommendations across token architecture, component hierarchy, governance, and adoption metrics. Use when role-design-system- auditor is invoked, when the user asks "is our design system any good" or "how do we ship a DS", when patterns recur across audits (see design-critique step 9), or when teams are duplicating primitives. Skip for server-only convoys (skip flag: design-system).

Design systems

Audit + design framework for component-and-token systems. Covers token architecture (3-tier W3C format), component hierarchy (Atomic Design), governance models (centralized / federated / hybrid), and a maturity model for benchmarking. Outputs an audit report scored against a 5-stage maturity rubric, plus concrete recommendations.

This skill answers two distinct questions:

  • Auditing an existing system: where's the leverage to invest next?
  • Designing a new system: what's the minimum viable scope to start, what's deferred?

When to invoke

  • Automatic: by role-design-system-auditor when a convoy ships a new component, modifies a primitive, or touches tailwind.config.{ts,js} / tokens/** / theme/**.
  • Manual: when the user says "audit our design system", "ship a design system", "why are buttons inconsistent", "set up design tokens".
  • Pattern-triggered: when design-critique or accessibility-audit flags a recurring pattern (DS-level finding) 3+ times across audits.
  • Adoption review: when launching a new app/surface that should consume the system.

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.

design-systems is a skill published in the GitHub repository varutasu/agent-pipeline (2 stars, last pushed 29d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 2,593 tokens. 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 2026-08-31.
