Automated safety checks
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.

About this skill
What it does
This skill helps you generate design tokens, which are named values used to represent design decisions like colors, spacing, and typography. It facilitates the creation of a structured system for managing these tokens using CSS custom properties (variables). The skill supports organizing tokens into three tiers: primitive, semantic, and component – enabling scalable and maintainable design systems.
When to use it
- Setting up a design token system from scratch.
- Organizing existing CSS custom properties.
- Implementing light/dark theme switching.
- Integrating design tokens with frameworks like Tailwind CSS.
Key capabilities
- Token Architecture: Organizing design tokens for scalability using a three-tier structure (primitive, semantic, component).
- CSS Custom Properties: Defining and managing variable patterns and inheritance within CSS.
- Theme Systems: Implementing light/dark mode functionality.
- Component Integration: Applying tokens consistently across different UI components.
Example prompts
- "Generate design tokens for a blue color palette with shades 50, 100, 500, 600, and 700."
- "Create semantic tokens based on these primitive values: --color-blue-600, --spacing-4."
- "Show me an example of how to implement a light/dark theme using design tokens."
Tips & gotchas
- This skill is designed for setting up and organizing design token systems; it's not intended for writing individual component styles or handling CSS layout.
- Familiarity with CSS custom properties and basic design principles will be helpful to effectively utilize this skill.
