Build or audit a design system including component library, design tokens, naming conventions, contribution model, and documentation. Use this skill whenever the user wants to build a design system, audit an existing system, define design tokens at the system level, structure a component library, or set up design system governance. Triggers on design system, component library, design tokens, atomic design, atoms, molecules, organisms, design system documentation, Storybook, Figma library…

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

Build, evolve, or audit a design system. Stack-agnostic in principle. Implementation is stack-specific (Figma, Storybook, code library, etc.) but the structure and governance principles transfer.

This skill is for building the system. For applying a system to specific pages or components, use `design-standards`. For brand visual identity, use `brand-identity`.

---

## When to use

- Building a design system from scratch
- Auditing an existing system for gaps or fragmentation
- Defining design tokens at the system level
- Structuring a component library
- Establishing contribution and governance models
- Migrating from ad-hoc components to a documented system

## When NOT to use

- Designing a single page or component (use `design-standards`)
- Brand identity work (use `brand-identity`)
- Component-level frontend implementation (use `frontend-component-build`)
- Pure design documentation for marketing (use `brand-style-guide`)

---

## Required inputs

- The brand identity (tokens, voice, imagery direction)
- The product surfaces the system needs to support (web, mobile, marketing, app, internal tools)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add rampstackco/claude-skills/design-system@sha256:d5bff103c6fc3f3f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260810.e5bc675, 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.
