Generates accessible focus indicators meeting WCAG 2.4.7 and 2.4.11 requirements. Use when styling :focus-visible, keyboard navigation indicators, or fixing focus ring visibility issues.

Generates component API documentation with props tables, usage examples, and guidelines. Use when documenting component libraries, creating API references, or building component documentation for designers and developers.

Generates design token documentation with visual swatches and code examples. Use when documenting token values, creating token reference guides, or building searchable design system documentation.

Builds token-driven Angular components with signals and standalone components. Use when creating Angular component libraries, integrating design tokens, or building design system components with new control flow syntax.

Builds token-driven React components with TypeScript and modern patterns. Use when creating React component libraries, integrating CSS custom properties, or building Next.js design system components with forwardRef and composition.

Builds token-driven Svelte 5 components with runes ($state, $props) and TypeScript. Use when creating Svelte component libraries, integrating design tokens, or building SvelteKit design system components.

Builds token-driven Vue 3 components with Composition API and TypeScript. Use when creating Vue component libraries, integrating design tokens, or building Nuxt design system components with composables.

Introduction to the design system skills plugin. Use when first installing the plugin, exploring available skills, or planning a design system implementation.

Applies Disney's 12 animation principles to UI motion design. Use when improving animation quality, designing micro-interactions, creating easing curves, or making transitions feel natural and purposeful.

Implements scalable icon systems with SVG sprites or React/Vue components. Use when setting up icon libraries, creating icon sizing tokens, optimizing SVGs, or building accessible icon buttons.

Builds composable layout components (Stack, Cluster, Grid, Sidebar, Center, Cover). Use when creating layout systems, spacing compositions, or Every Layout-style intrinsic design patterns that adapt without breakpoints.

Generates responsive breakpoint tokens for media queries and container queries. Use when setting up responsive design, mobile-first layouts, or viewport-based styling. Outputs CSS, Tailwind, or JSON.

Generates perceptually uniform OKLCH color palettes from brand colors. Use when creating color systems, theme palettes, or converting hex values to 11-step scales. Outputs CSS custom properties, Tailwind config, or JSON tokens.

Generates animation duration, easing curves, and delay tokens with prefers-reduced-motion support. Use when creating transition timing, animation speed, or motion systems. Outputs CSS, Tailwind, or JSON.

Generates border-radius tokens from sharp to pill shapes. Use when creating corner rounding systems, button radius, card corners, or input styling. Outputs CSS, Tailwind, or JSON.

Implements fluid typography using CSS clamp() that scales with viewport. Use when creating responsive font sizes, viewport-aware headings, or type that adapts smoothly without breakpoints.

Generates layered box-shadow elevation tokens for depth hierarchy. Use when creating elevation systems, card shadows, modal depth, or dark mode shadow variants. Outputs CSS, Tailwind, or JSON.

Generates consistent spacing tokens using base values and ratios. Use when creating margin/padding systems, gap tokens, or layout spacing. Outputs CSS custom properties, Tailwind config, or JSON tokens.

Generates typography scales using modular ratios with auto-calculated line heights. Use when setting up font-size tokens, heading hierarchy (h1-h6), or text sizing systems. Outputs CSS, Tailwind, or JSON.

Generates systematic z-index tokens for layering management. Use when organizing stacking contexts, modal/dropdown z-index, tooltip layers, or fixing z-index conflicts. Outputs CSS, Tailwind, or JSON.

Syncs design tokens between code and Figma using Variables API or Tokens Studio plugin. Use when establishing Figma-to-code workflows, exporting Figma tokens, or setting up design-development handoff.

Integrates design tokens with Framer for prototyping and production sites. Use when adding CSS custom properties to Framer projects, creating code components, or building Framer sites with design systems.

Documents components with Storybook using CSF 3.0, controls, and MDX. Use when creating component catalogs, interactive examples, visual testing setups, or design system documentation sites.
