How design tokens and recipes flow from styleframe into Inkline — the presets, the two faces of virtual:styleframe, recipe class contracts, theming, and the rules for custom CSS in components.

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Design Token Architecture is an agent skill from inkline/inkline. How design tokens and recipes flow from styleframe into Inkline — the presets, the two faces of virtual:styleframe, recipe class contracts, theming, and the rules for custom CSS in components. Use when designing, extending, or debugging component styling.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Design tokens and Theming and dark mode. The repository describes itself as: Inkline is the intuitive UI Components library that gives you a developer-friendly foundation for building high-quality, accessible, and customizable Vue.js 3 Design Systems.

When your agent uses it

  • Debugging component styling
  • Tasks that involve Design tokens
  • Tasks that involve Theming and dark mode

Example prompts

  • “/design-token-architecture”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f4da55a. 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

Design Token Architecture loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 392 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~70
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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 392 words (~1,186 tokens).

“Inkline does not own a token system — it consumes styleframe's. @styleframe/theme provides 23 token composables (OKLCH color internals, scale-driven spacing, typography, borders/effects, breakpoints/easing/duration/z-index), ~300 utilities, modifiers, element/state/sanitize layers, and the component recipe catalog (~39 families). Inkline's job is to…”
