Design System Creator

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Design system creation
• Token architecture
• Component documentation
• Style guide generation

Example prompts

• “design system”
• “design tokens”
• “CSS architecture”
• “/design-system-creator”

Requirements

• Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Glob, mcp__magic__21st_magic_component_builder, mcp__magic__21st_magic_component_refiner, mcp__stability-ai__stability-ai-generate-image, mcp__firecrawl__firecrawl_search

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6713fc7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

  • Read
  • Write
  • Edit
  • Glob
  • mcp__magic__21st_magic_component_builder
  • mcp__magic__21st_magic_component_refiner
  • mcp__stability-ai__stability-ai-generate-image
  • mcp__firecrawl__firecrawl_search

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are css).

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

• Network

  Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

  • oklch.com
  • evilmartians.com
  • harmonizer.evilmartians.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

Design System Creator loads about 2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~7.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 158 tokens; SKILL.md has 660 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~158

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~2k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~7.5k

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

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.
