| name | openclaw-design-system |
| description | Compatibility alias for existing OpenClaw installations that now applies Carapace semantic tokens, themes, shared CSS foundations, consumer adapters, and established local primitives. |
Carapace Compatibility Alias
This skill identifier remains available for existing skills-lock.json
entries during the v0.1.x migration. New installations should use
openclaw-carapace.
Use the shared package for foundations and framework-neutral visual primitives.
Keep consumer-specific behavior, data, routes, and layout composition local.
Before changing imports, inspect the consumer manifest: use
@openclaw/carapace when it is installed, otherwise preserve the legacy
@openclaw/design-system specifier until the dependency is migrated.
Workflow
- Read tokens.md before choosing colors, spacing, type, radii, or shadows.
- Read consumer-adapters.md for the current framework.
- Inspect the consumer's existing shared primitives before creating a component.
- Use semantic tokens for UI intent; use palette primitives only for documented exceptions.
- Keep application behavior, routes, and information architecture unchanged unless the task says otherwise.
- Validate the affected routes with existing tests and real browser screenshots.
Interface Rules
- Import the complete CSS contract or its focused exported entry points.
- Compose shared classes from
components.css before adding a one-off visual implementation.
- Use local shared primitives before raw controls or one-off component implementations.
- Keep one primary action per decision area.
- Use familiar icons for icon-only commands and provide accessible names.
- Use status colors for status, warning, success, error, and informational meaning.
