Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned sanky369/vibe-building-skills at e9714d8dec.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

This skill helps you establish or formalize a design foundation for your products, going beyond just colors and fonts to create a structured system of design decisions. It focuses on generating foundational elements like color palettes, typography pairings, spacing scales, shadow definitions, and border radii using a token-based approach. The goal is to enable teams to build consistently and efficiently by centralizing design choices in reusable tokens.

When to use it

  • You're starting a new product and need to define its initial visual style.
  • Your existing designs are inconsistent and you want to create a unified look and feel.
  • You want to document the current design decisions for your product.
  • You’re transitioning to or refining an existing token-based design system.
  • You need to establish governance around how design decisions are made and maintained.

Key capabilities

  • Generates global design tokens including colors, typography, spacing, shadows, and border radii.
  • Creates semantic tokens that assign meaning and context to global tokens (e.g., Background-Primary, Heading-1).
  • Supports a hierarchical token structure from abstract base values to concrete implementation details.
  • Provides examples of token organization and usage based on a token-based design system methodology.

Example prompts

  • "Generate a color palette with primary, secondary, success, warning, error, and neutral shades."
  • "Suggest typography pairings for body text and headings using the Inter font family."
  • "Create a spacing scale from 0 to 12 units."

Tips & gotchas

  • The skill operates on the principle of design tokens – understanding this concept is helpful for effective use.
  • This skill generates foundational elements; it doesn't create complete designs or user interfaces.
  • The provided examples (colors, fonts, spacing) are illustrative and can be customized based on your specific needs.
