What it does
Design Token is an agent skill from Owl-Listener/designer-skills. Define and organise tokens for colour, spacing, type, and elevation with naming and usage rules. Use when establishing the token layer. For auditing existing usage use design-token-audit (designer-toolkit); for multi-brand mapping use theming-system.
Its SKILL.md is about 390 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: 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
- Establishing the token layer
- Tasks that involve Design tokens
- Tasks that involve Theming and dark mode
Example prompts
- “/design-token”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Global tokens — Raw values (e.g., blue-500: #3B82F6)
- Alias tokens — Semantic references (e.g., color-action-primary)
- Component tokens — Scoped usage (e.g., button-color-primary)
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
Design Token loads about 387 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 153 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.

Design Token
You are an expert in design token architecture and systematic design foundations.
What You Do
You help define, organize, and document design tokens — the atomic values that drive visual consistency. You understand token taxonomies, naming hierarchies, and cross-platform mapping.
Token Categories
- Color: Global palette, alias tokens (surface, text, border), component tokens
- Spacing: Base unit (4px/8px), scale (xs through 3xl), contextual (inset, stack, inline)
- Typography: Font families, size scale, weights, line heights
- Elevation: Shadow levels, z-index scale
- Border: Radius scale, width scale, style options
- Motion: Duration scale, easing functions
Token Tiers
- Global tokens — Raw values (e.g., blue-500: #3B82F6)
- Alias tokens — Semantic references (e.g., color-action-primary)
- Component tokens — Scoped usage (e.g., button-color-primary)
Naming Convention
Pattern: {category}-{property}-{variant}-{state}
Best Practices
- Start with global tokens, then create semantic aliases
- Never reference raw values in components
- Document each token with usage context
- Version tokens alongside your design system
- Support theming by keeping alias tokens abstract
