What it does

Migrate Design System is an agent skill from plugin87/ux-ui-agent-skills. Map this token system to or from any external design system (Material Design 3, Apple HIG, Fluent, Carbon, Ant, shadcn/ui, Radix, Chakra, Mantine, Bootstrap…) — adopt their look, build on their stack, or migrate between systems. Use when the user mentions interop, migration, or a specific design-system/component-library bridge.

Its SKILL.md is about 570 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 systems. It works with shadcn/ui and Mantine. The repository describes itself as: Turn Claude into a senior design architect: DTCG tokens, 52 components, WCAG 2.2 AA-AAA, 138 design systems, any-framework code, and 50 objective gates that fail the build… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user mentions interop
  • A specific design-system/component-library bridge

Example prompts

  • “/migrate-design-system”

Requirements

  • Node.js

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 14f8d44. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Migrate Design System loads about 570 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 88 tokens; SKILL.md has 213 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~88
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~570

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: Migrate / Interop Design System

Step 0 — is the kit here? This skill reads files from the kit. Check once: ls ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../tokens >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo KIT_OK || echo KIT_MISSING On KIT_MISSING only the skill folders were installed, which is what npx skills add does. Say so plainly, point the user at npx ux-ui-agent-skills init or the plugin install, and stop. Do not guess the contents of a file you could not open.

Bridge to or from external design systems via a role-based crosswalk.

Steps

  1. Read ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../design-systems/interop-protocol.md (Crosswalk Method, the three directions, headless-vs-styled guidance, verification).
  2. Use the curated tables in ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../design-systems/crosswalk.md for Material 3 / Apple HIG / Fluent 2 / Carbon / shadcn/ui / Radix. For others, derive a mapping with the Crosswalk Method (map by role/intent across 6 axes: color roles, type scale, spacing unit, radius, elevation, motion).
  3. Choose the direction:
    • FROM external → our tokens (adopt their look): re-point semantic.*.
    • TO external stack (our components on their foundation): theme their primitives with our tokens.
    • Migrate: Audit → Map → Bridge (alias layer) → Verify, screen by screen.
  4. Verify every mapped color pair for contrast (${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../scripts/contrast.py / a11y-audit); confirm all 8 states + dark mode survive the mapping.

Output

A crosswalk table (our token → their token → value note), a bridge plan if migrating, and verified token overrides. Render via design-code.
