design-system — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited design-system (Agent Skill) and scored it 82/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 2 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
Token architecture, stylesheet structure, and consistency auditing for a codebase's visual layer. This skill decides where a value lives and what it is called, not what the interface should look like.
Baseline: Tailwind CSS v4, which is configured in CSS through @theme and no longer reads tailwind.config.js.

code-reviewer, which pulls this skill in for the styling-drift pass.web-accessibility.react-patterns.angular.nextjs-app-router-patterns.This skill runs in one of three modes. Say which one you want, or the intent will be inferred from the request.
Generate builds a system from what the codebase already does. Scan the CSS, Tailwind classes, and styled-components for existing values, extract the colours, type scale, spacing, radii, shadows, and breakpoints actually in use, then propose a consolidated token set with a reason for each decision. The output is a written design document, a token file in both JSON and CSS custom properties, and a self-contained preview page that renders every token so the set can be reviewed without running the application.
Audit scores an existing interface across ten dimensions, each out of ten: colour consistency, type hierarchy, spacing rhythm, component consistency, responsive behaviour, dark mode completeness, purposefulness of animation, accessibility, information density, and polish, meaning hover, transition, loading, and empty states. Every score comes with concrete examples and a fix pinned to a file and line. A score with no file reference is not a finding.
Slop check hunts the token-level tells of a system nobody designed: raw hex values and one-off gradients in component files, spacing and sizes off the scale, a radius or shadow defined once and never reused, a font stack declared inline rather than as a token, and near-duplicate colours that should be one token. Report each hit with its location and the token it bypasses. Whether the interface looks generic, meaning purple-to-blue defaults, glass morphism with no purpose, or a centred hero over a stock gradient, is a direction question, and frontend-design owns it.
A hex code inside a component file cannot be themed, cannot be audited, and will be copied slightly wrong the next time someone needs it. Define the value once and reference it everywhere.
/* PASS: tokens/colors.css owns the values */
:root {
--color-primary-500: #2563eb;

}// PASS: the component references the token
<Button style={{ background: 'var(--color-primary-500)' }} />
// FAIL: the value is welded into the component
<Button style={{ background: '#2563eb' }} />A token name describes the role, never the value. A name carrying a pixel count or a colour word breaks the moment the value changes, which is the one thing tokens exist to make easy.
/* PASS: role-based names that survive a value change */

Every margin, padding, gap, and component height is a multiple of 8px, with 4px available for micro-adjustments such as icon gutters and badge offsets. One rhythm is what makes unrelated components look like they belong together.

padding: 13px 19px;

/* PASS: styles/main.css, one source for the theme */
@import "tailwindcss";
@theme {

Retrofitting dark mode means auditing every component for hardcoded colour. Building it in means overriding a handful of semantic tokens. Do the second.

Base styles target the smallest viewport and each query adds to them. Mixing min-width and max-width produces overlapping ranges and a cascade nobody can predict.

frontend-design decides the visual direction the tokens express. Take the direction from there, then encode ithere.
web-accessibility owns contrast ratios, focus indicators, target sizes, and reduced motion. A palette that failscontrast is not a finished token set.
