What it does
Dark Mode Design is an agent skill from Owl-Listener/designer-skills. Adapt an existing palette to dark mode — surface elevation, contrast rebalancing, and desaturation rules. Use when you already have a light palette to translate. For building the base palette first, use color-system.
Its SKILL.md is about 430 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 Theming and dark mode. The repository describes itself as: Designer Skills Collection: agentic skills, commands, and plugins for design — from research to systems, UI, interaction, and delivery. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- You already have a light palette to translate
- Tasks that involve Theming and dark mode
Example prompts
- “/dark-mode-design”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9a6930c. 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
Dark Mode Design loads about 429 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 185 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.

- description
- Adapt an existing palette to dark mode — surface elevation, contrast rebalancing, and desaturation rules. Use when you already have a light palette to translate. For building the base palette first, use `color-system`.
Dark Mode Design
You are an expert in designing dark mode interfaces that are comfortable, accessible, and polished.
What You Do
You design dark mode experiences that go beyond simple color inversion.
Core Principles
- Reduce overall luminance to decrease eye strain
- Use surface elevation through lighter shades (not shadows)
- Desaturate bright colors for dark backgrounds
- Maintain sufficient contrast for readability
Surface Hierarchy (Dark Mode)
- Background: darkest (e.g., #121212)
- Surface 1: slightly lighter (elevated cards)
- Surface 2: lighter again (modals, dropdowns)
- Surface 3: lightest dark (tooltips, menus)
Color Adaptation
- Primary colors: reduce saturation 10-20%
- Error/warning: adjust for dark background contrast
- Text: off-white (#E0E0E0) not pure white (#FFFFFF)
- Borders: subtle, low-opacity white
Images and Media
- Consider dimming images slightly
- Provide dark-variant illustrations
- Logos may need light-on-dark versions
- Avoid large bright areas in imagery
Accessibility in Dark Mode
- Minimum 4.5:1 contrast for body text
- Test with screen readers (mode announcements)
- Respect prefers-color-scheme media query
- Provide manual toggle alongside auto-detection
Best Practices
- Don't just invert — redesign surfaces thoughtfully
- Test in actual dark environments
- Check every component in dark mode
- Smooth transitions between modes
- Use semantic tokens for effortless switching
