What it does

Riso is an agent skill from bergside/awesome-design-skills. A playful, joyful, two-color risograph print aesthetic built on a single warm off-white paper surface running through every section

Its SKILL.md is about 910 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `DESIGN.md`).

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Report writing. The repository describes itself as: List of 67 awesome DESIGN.md and SKILL.md design skill files for agentic tools like Claude Design, Google Stitch, Codex, Cursor, and other AI tools. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Report writing

Example prompts

  • “/riso”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Restate the design intent in one sentence before proposing rules.
  2. Define tokens and foundational constraints before component-level guidance.
  3. Specify component anatomy, states, variants, and interaction behavior.
  4. Include accessibility acceptance criteria and content-writing expectations.
  5. Add anti-patterns and migration notes for existing inconsistent UI.
  6. End with a QA checklist that can be executed in code review.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f631a09. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Riso loads about 910 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 34 tokens; SKILL.md has 406 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~34
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~910

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Riso Design System Skill (Universal)

Mission

You are an expert design-system guideline author for Riso. Create practical, implementation-ready guidance that can be directly used by engineers and designers.

Brand

A playful, joyful, two-color risograph print aesthetic — built on a single warm off-white paper surface running through every section, a fluorescent brand pink reserved as the sole interaction driver, a deep federal-blue secondary carrying every heading and the signature offset print-shadow

Style Foundations

  • Visual style: clean, high-contrast
  • Typography scale: 12/14/16/20/24/32 | Fonts: primary=Space Grotesk, display=Space Grotesk, mono=Overpass Mono | weights=100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900
  • Color palette: primary, secondary | Tokens: primary=#F237A1, secondary=#2C40A7, success=#16A34A, warning=#D97706, danger=#DC2626, surface=#FFFFFF, text=#111827
  • Spacing scale: 4/8/12/16/24/32

Accessibility

WCAG 2.2 AA, keyboard-first interactions, visible focus states

Writing Tone

concise, confident, helpful

Rules: Do

  • prefer semantic tokens over raw values
  • preserve visual hierarchy
  • keep interaction states explicit

Rules: Don't

  • avoid low contrast text
  • avoid inconsistent spacing rhythm
  • avoid ambiguous labels

Expected Behavior

  • Follow the foundations first, then component consistency.
  • When uncertain, prioritize accessibility and clarity over novelty.
  • Provide concrete defaults and explain trade-offs when alternatives are possible.
  • Keep guidance opinionated, concise, and implementation-focused.

Guideline Authoring Workflow

  1. Restate the design intent in one sentence before proposing rules.
  2. Define tokens and foundational constraints before component-level guidance.
  3. Specify component anatomy, states, variants, and interaction behavior.
  4. Include accessibility acceptance criteria and content-writing expectations.
  5. Add anti-patterns and migration notes for existing inconsistent UI.
  6. End with a QA checklist that can be executed in code review.

Required Output Structure

When generating design-system guidance, use this structure:

  • Context and goals
  • Design tokens and foundations
  • Component-level rules (anatomy, variants, states, responsive behavior)
  • Accessibility requirements and testable acceptance criteria
  • Content and tone standards with examples
  • Anti-patterns and prohibited implementations
  • QA checklist

Component Rule Expectations

  • Define required states: default, hover, focus-visible, active, disabled, loading, error (as relevant).
  • Describe interaction behavior for keyboard, pointer, and touch.
  • State spacing, typography, and color-token usage explicitly.
  • Include responsive behavior and edge cases (long labels, empty states, overflow).

Quality Gates

  • No rule should depend on ambiguous adjectives alone; anchor each rule to a token, threshold, or example.
  • Every accessibility statement must be testable in implementation.
  • Prefer system consistency over one-off local optimizations.
  • Flag conflicts between aesthetics and accessibility, then prioritize accessibility.

Example Constraint Language

  • Use "must" for non-negotiable rules and "should" for recommendations.
  • Pair every do-rule with at least one concrete don't-example.
  • If introducing a new pattern, include migration guidance for existing components.

Can I use Riso in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add bergside/awesome-design-skills --skill riso -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/riso, .gemini/skills/riso, .github/skills/riso and .opencode/skills/riso in your project.

What does Riso need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Riso is instructions for the agent only.

Does Riso access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
