What it does
Creating Design Systems is an agent skill from theexperiencecompany/gaia. Use when reverse-engineering a codebase's implicit design system, creating a DESIGN.md style guide, documenting design tokens, or establishing visual language standards. Also use when asked to audit UI consistency, rationalize ad-hoc styling into a system, or prepare a design reference that enables one-shotting new components.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.6k 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, Design tokens and Reverse engineering and malware. The repository describes itself as: Your proactive personal AI assistant & companion for daily productivity 🌎.
When your agent uses it
- Reverse-engineering a codebases implicit design system
- Creating a DESIGN.md style guide
- Documenting design tokens
- Establishing visual language standards
Example prompts
- “/creating-design-systems”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- The exact classes for outer container, inner items, headers, body text, meta text
- Hard constraints (e.g. "no borders", "always rounded-2xl")
- Status color application (the /10 opacity pattern or whatever the project uses)
- A ready-to-use template component with all patterns applied
- A checklist to verify before committing
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 26424cb. 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 (its code samples are markdown).
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
Creating Design Systems loads about 2.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 88 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,142 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.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,142 words (~2,621 tokens).
“Reverse-engineer a codebase's implicit visual language into a practical, implementation-ready style guide that lets you (or any agent) one-shot new UI components without configuration or guesswork.”
