At a glance

Create, update, or refresh a visual design system or art style guide.

  • Works in 6 steps: Reference Input (Optional) → Discovery → Synthesis → …
  • The user wants to define a visual style
  • SKILL.md covers Workflow Overview, Output Location, Phase 0: Reference Input… and Phase 1: Discovery, plus 6 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Design System is an agent skill from kenneth-liao/ai-launchpad-marketplace. Create, update, or refresh a visual design system or art style guide. Use when the user wants to define a visual style, create a design system, build a style guide, or when they mention "design system", "art style", "style guide", "visual identity", or "color palette".

Its SKILL.md is about 4.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `references/design-system-template.md`, `references/discovery-framework.md` and `references/prompt-engineering.md`).

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Design systems, UI design and Theming and dark mode.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to define a visual style
  • Create a design system
  • Build a style guide
  • They mention design system

Example prompts

  • “design system”
  • “art style”
  • “style guide”
  • “/design-system”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Reference Input (Optional)
  2. Discovery
  3. Synthesis
  4. Documentation
  5. Asset Generation
  6. Assembly

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 04b93d6. 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 System loads about 4.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~21k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 71 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,182 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~71
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~21k

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 2,182 words (~4,383 tokens).

“Create complete visual design systems from scratch through guided discovery, documentation, and AI-generated asset production.”
