What it does
Bm Design System is an agent skill from buildermethods/bm-skills. Guides you through creating and implementing a design system for your application.
Its SKILL.md is about 6.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 60 other files, including reference files (for example `references/agent-instructions.md`, `references/derive-palette.md` and `references/lib/theme.ts`).
It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Design systems. It works with Vite and Tailwind CSS. The repository describes itself as: A collection of public open-source tools for builders, by Brian Casel @ Builder Methods (buildermethods.com).
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Design systems
Example prompts
- “Use the bm-design-system skill to guide you through creating and implementing a design system for your application”
- “/bm-design-system”
Requirements
- Node.js
Workflow steps
8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Detect target codebase state
- Confirm route
- Branding defaults
- (re-run only) Scope
- Write files
- Update agent instructions
- Scan for existing UI to migrate
- Wrap up
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 739fde3. 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
Ships script files (TypeScript, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
modalnpm
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
fonts.googleapis.com
Also links to:
tailwindcss.com
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
Bm Design System loads about 6.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~54k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 25 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,937 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 2,937 words (~6,537 tokens).
“You are guiding a builder through scaffolding a complete design system into a React + Tailwind v4 codebase. The output is a single-page reference at /admin/design-system that previews and documents every primitive, plus a small set of reusable shadcn-style components…”
