A skill your agent uses to generate or audit design systems, check visual consistency, and review PRs that touch styling.

  • SKILL.md covers When to Use, How It Works and Examples
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Check visual consistency

What it does

Design System is an agent skill from templetongroup/radiant. Use this skill to generate or audit design systems, check visual consistency, and review PRs that touch styling. Use when generating or auditing a design system, checking visual consistency, or reviewing a PR that touches styling.

Its SKILL.md is about 780 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/palette-generation.md`).

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Design systems. The repository describes itself as: A local coding harness for Mac. Chat with coding agents across cloud and local models, watch every tool call in a live activity feed, and drive a real terminal — in one window… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Audit design systems
  • Check visual consistency
  • Review PRs that touch styling
  • Auditing a design system

Example prompts

  • “/design-system”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 94838ca. 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 775 tokens when it runs, and up to ~3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 116 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~61
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~775
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3k

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 System — Generate & Audit Visual Systems

When to Use

  • Starting a new project that needs a design system
  • Auditing an existing codebase for visual consistency
  • Before a redesign — understand what you have
  • When the UI looks "off" but you can't pinpoint why
  • Reviewing PRs that touch styling

How It Works

Mode 1: Generate Design System

Analyzes your codebase and generates a cohesive design system:

1. Scan CSS/Tailwind/styled-components for existing patterns
2. Extract: colors, typography, spacing, border-radius, shadows, breakpoints
3. Research 3 competitor sites for inspiration (via browser MCP)
4. Propose a design token set (JSON + CSS custom properties)
   → see `references/palette-generation.md` — derive in OKLCH not HSL, emit a
     12-step ramp, and never let one token be both the brand fill and the text
5. Generate DESIGN.md with rationale for each decision
6. Create an interactive HTML preview page (self-contained, no deps)

Output: DESIGN.md + design-tokens.json + design-preview.html

Mode 2: Visual Audit

Scores your UI across 10 dimensions (0-10 each):

1. Color consistency — are you using your palette or random hex values?
2. Typography hierarchy — clear h1 > h2 > h3 > body > caption?
3. Spacing rhythm — consistent scale (4px/8px/16px) or arbitrary?
4. Component consistency — do similar elements look similar?
5. Responsive behavior — fluid or broken at breakpoints?
6. Dark mode — complete or half-done? (a ramp inverted from the light theme is
   half-done by construction — `references/palette-generation.md` §6)
7. Animation — purposeful or gratuitous?
8. Accessibility — contrast ratios, focus states, touch targets
   (compute contrast, don't eyeball it — `references/palette-generation.md` §8)
9. Information density — cluttered or clean?
10. Polish — hover states, transitions, loading states, empty states

Each dimension gets a score, specific examples, and a fix with exact file:line.

Mode 3: AI Slop Detection

Identifies generic AI-generated design patterns:

- Gratuitous gradients on everything
- Purple-to-blue defaults
- "Glass morphism" cards with no purpose
- Rounded corners on things that shouldn't be rounded
- Excessive animations on scroll
- Generic hero with centered text over stock gradient
- Sans-serif font stack with no personality
- Brand colour wired straight to `--accent` and used for text, unmeasured — the
  single most common generated-palette defect (`references/palette-generation.md` §1)

Examples

Generate for a SaaS app:

/design-system generate --style minimal --palette earth-tones

Audit existing UI:

/design-system audit --url http://localhost:3000 --pages / /pricing /docs

Check for AI slop:
