plugin87 / design-tokens
Generate, extend, or audit design tokens in DTCG format with the 3-tier architecture (primitive → semantic → component). Use when the user wants a color palette, type scale, spacing/shadow/radius/motion tokens, multi-brand theming, or wants to validate token files. Covers colors, typography, spacing, shadows, borders, breakpoints, motion, gradients, opacity, blur, sizing, states, theming.
Skill: Design Tokens
Step 0 — is the kit here? This skill reads files from the kit. Check once:
ls ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../tokens >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo KIT_OK || echo KIT_MISSING
OnKIT_MISSINGonly the skill folders were installed, which is whatnpx skills adddoes. Say so plainly, point the user atnpx ux-ui-agent-skills initor the plugin install, and stop. Do not guess the
contents of a file you could not open.
Produce and maintain DTCG ($type/$value) tokens following the project's 3-tier system.
Steps
- Read
.claude/rules/tokens-and-color.md→ "Token System" + "Color Guidelines" and.claude/rules/typography-and-spacing.mdfor the rules (4px base, Major Third scale, OKLCH palette generation, dark-mode-at-semantic-layer). - Read the relevant existing files in
tokens/to match structure:colors.json,typography.json,spacing.json,shadows.json,borders.json,breakpoints.json,motion.json,gradients.json,opacity.json,blur.json,sizing.json,states.json,theming.json. Generate/extend tokens:
- Primitives = raw values (never used directly). Semantic = purpose aliases. Component = component-scoped.
- New palettes: generate 11 OKLCH shades; verify 500 ≥ 4.5:1 on white (text), 600 ≥ 3:1 (UI) using the
a11y-auditskill /${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../scripts/contrast.py. - Multi-brand/density →
theming.json.
- Validate: run
python3 ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../scripts/validate_tokens.py(JSON validity + alias resolution).
Output
DTCG JSON. Preserve $description on every token. Reference, never hardcode.
