Build a new design system (tokens, variants, theming). Use when "create a design system" or "component library from scratch". Drifted existing system → housekeep-design. Plan-only unification → plan-uiux-unification.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Design System Skill **Degree of freedom: MIXED.** Token taxonomy and variants `[HIGH freedom]`; existing `ui/` / token inventory `[LOW freedom — run exactly]`. Build scalable, maintainable design systems with consistent tokens, variants, and documentation. ## How to reason 1. **Inventory** — `components/ui`, tokens, `cva`, shadcn/Radix 2. **Tokenize** — semantic tokens, not raw hex in components 3. **Variant** — `cva` covers real states (default/destructive/disabled) 4. **Document** — JSDoc, keyboard/focus, dark mode ## Worked example > **Inventory:** shadcn `Button` exists; colors are raw `#3B82F6` in three pages; no `--primary`. > **Tokenize:** `--primary` / `--primary-foreground` in `globals.css`; Tailwind maps `hsl(var(--primary))`. > **Variant:** extend existing `buttonVariants` — do not add `components/Button2.tsx`. > **Document:** JSDoc lists variants/sizes; focus ring + dark `.dark` overrides. ## Self-critique before reporting - **Did not fork** — existing primitives were extended, not recreated - **Semantic tokens** — components reference tokens, not primitives or hex - **A11y + dark** — focus, disabled, and dark variants exist …

How to install
mdr add kensaurus/skills/design-system@sha256:38bde6771476d70aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261006.39320f8, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
