design-system-persist

design-system-persist is a skill for Claude Code from ZachArticulateV/designer-pro-and-seo. It costs 72 tokens per session (644 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A way to save a project's design rules in a design-system folder for use in later sessions. It stores shared rules in a Master file and page-specific exceptions in separate override files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to persist colors, typography, layout, and other design choices, either for the whole project or for one page.
Why use it?
It prevents design decisions from being lost between sessions and avoids repeating the full design specification for every page.

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-system-persist 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-system-persist

Family: design Status: Stable

Purpose

Save a design system into a project's design-system/ folder so it survives across sessions and is shared across skills. Uses a Master + Overrides pattern:

  • design-system/MASTER.md — the global system (every page inherits it by default)
  • design-system/pages/<page-name>.md — per-page overrides (clean deviations)

Future sessions check pages/<current-page>.md first; if present, its rules override Master, else Master applies. A 12-page site gets one Master + small page files instead of one bloated spec enumerating every exception inline.

Triggers

  • "save the design system" / "persist this"
  • "make this the master"
  • "remember these design choices"
  • "design system to disk"

Inputs

  • A design system spec (from design-system-gen, or pasted by the user)
  • Project root path
  • Page name (optional — for a per-page override)

Steps

  1. Get the design system. Use a design-system-gen result (JSON or ASCII) or the spec the user pasted.
  2. Locate/create design-system/ at the project root (and pages/ if saving an override).
  3. Fill the starter template templates/design-system-starter.md: map the palette hex + contrast, typography + weights, pattern, style, effects, anti-patterns, and the pre-delivery checklist into its slots.
  4. Write the file:
    • Master → design-system/MASTER.md
    • Page override → design-system/pages/<name>.md with explicit deviation + reason notes (keep deviations minimal).
  5. Write/refresh design-system/README.md explaining the structure to future agents.
  6. Emit a retrieval prompt for the next session, e.g.: "I'm building [page]. Read design-system/MASTER.md; also check design-system/pages/[name].md — page rules override Master."

Outputs

  • design-system/MASTER.md (and/or pages/<name>.md)
  • design-system/README.md
  • A paste-ready context-retrieval prompt for the next session
