Builds the design-token system every Tastemaker skill consumes - primitive, semantic and component layers in design-tokens.json, light/dark/high-contrast themes, density modes, and generated tokens.css, Tailwind v4 @theme, Tailwind v3 config and shadcn/ui variables, with automatic reference and WCAG contrast validation. Use for "design system", "tokens", "theme", "dark mode", "brand colors in Tailwind", "component specs", or before any UI build that lacks tokens.

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

# Taste Tokens: one source of truth

Every color, space, radius, font, shadow, duration and z-index in the product comes from `design-tokens.json`. Components never see a raw value (V08).

## Modes

- **Minimal** (default before UI work): copy `templates/design-tokens.json`, set primary/neutral from taste-direction or brand, build, done.
- **Full** (explicit design-system request): all layers, component specs, docs page, governance.

## Procedure

1. Start from `templates/design-tokens.json` (valid, contrast-checked). Replace primitives with the brand or taste palette; keep the semantic names.
2. Three layers (`references/token-architecture.md`): **primitive** (raw) -> **semantic** (role, the only layer components use) -> **component** (targeted overrides). Themes remap semantic only.
3. Every semantic color has a `light` and `dark` value; add `contrast` pairs for every text/background combination you use.
4. Build and validate:
   ```bash
   node <skill-dir>/scripts/build-tokens.mjs design-tokens.json --out src/styles
   ```

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add harrypatria/tastemaker/taste-tokens@sha256:d60068573585efc5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261030.a9b94a5, 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.
