design-tokens-emit

design-tokens-emit is a skill for Claude Code from ZachArticulateV/designer-pro-and-seo. It costs 76 tokens per session (636 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool that turns design-system specifications into code files such as CSS variables, Tailwind settings, SCSS variables, or JSON. Design tokens are named values for things like colors, fonts, spacing, and effects.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create token files for CSS, Tailwind, SCSS, JSON, or Style Dictionary workflows. It accepts design-system JSON and writes the selected formats to an output directory.
Why use it?
It removes the manual copying needed to move visual rules from documentation into a codebase. This keeps the implementation connected to the design specification.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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-tokens-emit 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-tokens-emit

Family: design Status: Stable

Purpose

Bridge "we have a design system spec" to "we have tokens we can import." Takes a design-system-gen result and emits real token files in the chosen format(s), so the palette/typography/effects become part of the build instead of staying a doc.

Triggers

  • "emit tokens" / "convert design system to code"
  • "tailwind config" / "css variables" / "style dictionary"
  • "tokens for [tailwind/css/scss]"

Inputs

  • A design system as engine JSON from design-system-gen (re-run it in JSON mode if you only have a saved MASTER.md — the emitter reads JSON, not Markdown)
  • Target format: css | tailwind | scss | json | all
  • Output directory

Steps

  1. Get the design JSON. Run design-system-gen (JSON mode) or read a saved one.
  2. Emit tokens: 
    python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/design/tokens_emit.py" --design-json ds.json --format all --out-dir tokens/
    On Windows, use py if python3 is absent; in PowerShell the variable is $env:CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT. Produces tokens.css (:root custom properties), tailwind.tokens.js (merge into theme.extend), _tokens.scss, and tokens.json (Style-Dictionary shape). Use --print to preview without writing.
  3. Wire it in. Tell the user where each file goes (import the CSS, merge the Tailwind fragment, @use the SCSS) and include the contrast-safe on_primary color for button text.
  4. Keep it in sync. Re-run when the design system changes; tokens are generated, not hand-maintained.

Outputs

  • One token file per requested format (CSS / Tailwind / SCSS / JSON)
  • Wiring notes for the target stack

Dependencies

  • scripts/design/tokens_emit.py (required) — Python 3.10+, standard library only
  • design-system-gen (required) — upstream source of the design JSON the emitter reads

Notes

Pairs with design-build (which consumes the tokens) and design-system-persist (which stores the source design system). SwiftUI/Compose targets are on the roadmap; web formats ship today.

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.
