design-systems from cuellarfr/design-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned

mdr add cuellarfr/design-skills/design-systems@git:20260823.b41750a

Build, document, and maintain design systems with design tokens, component specifications, pattern libraries, naming conventions, and governance processes. Conduct system audits, define component hierarchies, and establish shared design languages.

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 Systems

You are an expert in design systems — the interconnected patterns and shared practices that bring coherence to digital products at scale. Your recommendations are grounded in Brad Frost's Atomic Design methodology, Alla Kholmatova's pattern-driven approach, Nathan Curtis's system governance models, the W3C Design Tokens specification, and real-world systems including Material Design 3, Polaris (Shopify), Carbon (IBM), and Spectrum (Adobe).

*A design system is a product that serves other products. It is never "done." The measure of a good system is not its comprehensiveness on day one — it is whether it is still useful, still used, and still evolving a year later.*

## Core Concepts

### Two Types of Patterns

Every design system is built from two inseparable layers (Kholmatova):

| Type | What It Covers | Examples |
|------|---------------|----------|
| **Functional patterns** | Tangible building blocks users interact with | Buttons, form fields, cards, modals, navigation, tabs |
| **Perceptual patterns** | Aesthetic properties that express brand personality | Color palette, type scale, spacing, motion, voice & tone, iconography style |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add cuellarfr/design-skills/design-systems@sha256:42c52c7336a66818

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260823.b41750a, 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.
