design-build

design-build is a skill for Claude Code from ZachArticulateV/designer-pro-and-seo. It costs 85 tokens per session (1,636 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A frontend builder that turns a design system and page description into working user-interface code. A design system is the agreed set of colors, fonts, spacing, and visual rules for a product.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create landing pages and components in HTML, React, Next.js, Vue, Svelte, or Astro, with optional design variants.
Why use it?
It gives developers a real starting page with accessibility and responsive considerations, while avoiding an unplanned, generic-looking interface.

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-build 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 12d 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.

design-build

Family: design Status: Stable

Purpose

The frontend code generator — and the payoff of the whole design loop. It takes a design system (from design-system-gen) and renders a real, on-brand starting page via render_page.py (semantic HTML5, the system's actual palette/type/ effects as CSS variables, prefers-reduced-motion fallback, :focus-visible states, contrast-safe buttons), then elaborates it with taste. The differentiator is the anti-slop discipline: distinctive type, color, and interaction instead of the default gradient-purple, rounded-corner look — grounded in the chosen style's characteristics from data/ui-styles.csv.

Triggers

  • "build the site" / "make the UI" / "design and code"
  • "create a landing page" / "build a component"
  • "make this beautiful" / "production-grade frontend"

Inputs

  • Design system (from design-system-gen, or "generate one")
  • Page/component spec (from blast-prompt, or free-text)
  • Stack (HTML+CSS+JS | React | Next.js | Vue | Svelte | Astro)
  • Variants (1 = single build; 2+ = invokes parallel-build)

Steps

  1. Get the design system. Run design-system-gen if none exists; save JSON.
  2. Render the on-brand scaffold — a real, accessible starting point, not a blank page:
    python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/design/render_page.py" --design-json ds.json --out page.html   # use `py` on Windows if python3 is absent ($env:CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT in PowerShell)
    
    (or --product-type/--industry/--keywords to run the engine inline).
  3. Elaborate with taste (anti-slop pass). Replace placeholder copy (use copywriting), shape the sections to the brief, and add distinctive details that match the style's characteristics from data/ui-styles.csv — reject the generic AI look. Honor data/ux-rules.csv (one primary CTA, contrast, etc.). Apply the tell→build-move mapping and the chart-handling guidance in references/design-build/anti-slop.md (it applies the shared references/shared/anti-slop-principles.md rubric at build time). When a section needs a chart, let the data shape pick it deterministically rather than defaulting to a bar or pie:
    python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/design/gen_charts.py" --shape time-series-multi --series 4 --colors "#1f77b4,#ff7f0e"   # use `py` on Windows
    
    It returns a chart type, an A/B/C accessibility grade + fallback, a volume_warning when the series/point count overflows the chart's readable band, and (with --colors) a series-color contrast check reusing the engine's WCAG luminance. The reasoning behind the shape→chart table is in references/design-build/chart-selection.md.
  4. Target the stack. For HTML+CSS+JS, build straight from the scaffold. For React/Vue/etc., translate the scaffold's structure + tokens into components (use design-tokens-emit for the token file).
  5. Variants. If the user wants 2+, hand the brief + design system to parallel-build.
  6. Pre-delivery. Run design-accessibility and qa-gate before handoff.

design-build is a skill published in the GitHub repository ZachArticulateV/designer-pro-and-seo (8 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 85 tokens to every session and 1,636 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-08-31.
