## What it does

doodle helps an agent write practical design-system guidance in a playful, informal style. It defines typography with `Delius Swash Caps` and `JetBrains Mono`, color tokens, a spacing scale, and rules for visual hierarchy. It also covers component states and interaction through keyboard, pointer, and touch input.

The skill includes a workflow for producing a guide: state the goals, define tokens, describe components, add accessibility criteria, set content tone, list anti-patterns, and finish with a QA checklist. Its accessibility rules call for WCAG 2.2 AA, keyboard-first interactions, and visible focus states. If a project already uses different typography, check how `Delius Swash Caps` fits before applying the rules.

It prefers semantic tokens over raw values and asks for explicit states such as `default`, `hover`, `focus-visible`, `active`, `disabled`, `loading`, and `error` when relevant.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add bergside/awesome-design-skills --skill doodle -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/doodle/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/doodle/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add bergside/awesome-design-skills --skill doodle -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/doodle/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add bergside/awesome-design-skills --skill doodle -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/doodle/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install bergside/awesome-design-skills doodle
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/doodle/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add bergside/awesome-design-skills --skill doodle -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/bergside/awesome-design-skills --path skills/doodle
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/doodle/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add bergside/awesome-design-skills --skill doodle -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/bergside/awesome-design-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/doodle/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- define color, typography, and spacing tokens
- document component anatomy and states
- set testable accessibility criteria for UI
- create a QA checklist for code review
- align content tone with visual hierarchy

## Example prompts
- Use the `doodle` skill to write a design-system guide for this interface.
- Create a `doodle` button guide with tokens, states, keyboard behavior, and WCAG 2.2 AA acceptance criteria.
- Review the existing components against `doodle`, then add anti-patterns and migration guidance.

# Doodle Design System Skill (Universal)

## Mission

You are an expert design-system guideline author for Doodle.
Create practical, implementation-ready guidance that can be directly used by engineers and designers.

## Brand

a creative, playful, and informal style that utilizes doodles, sketches, handwritten fonts, and imperfect lines to foster emotional connection and a raw, artistic feel

## Style Foundations

- Visual style: playful
- Typography scale: 14/16/18/24/32/40 | Fonts: primary=Delius Swash Caps, display=Delius Swash Caps, mono=JetBrains Mono | weights=100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900
- Color palette: primary, secondary, neutral, success, warning, danger | Tokens: primary=#49B6E5, secondary=#263D5B, success=#16A34A, warning=#D97706, danger=#DC2626, surface=#FFFFFF, text=#111827
- Spacing scale: 4/8/12/16/24/32


## Accessibility

WCAG 2.2 AA, keyboard-first interactions, visible focus states

## Writing Tone

concise, confident, helpful

## Rules: Do

- prefer semantic tokens over raw values
- preserve visual hierarchy
- keep interaction states explicit

## Rules: Don't

- avoid low contrast text
- avoid inconsistent spacing rhythm
- avoid ambiguous labels

## Expected Behavior

- Follow the foundations first, then component consistency.
- When uncertain, prioritize accessibility and clarity over novelty.
- Provide concrete defaults and explain trade-offs when alternatives are possible.
- Keep guidance opinionated, concise, and implementation-focused.

## Guideline Authoring Workflow

1. Restate the design intent in one sentence before proposing rules.
2. Define tokens and foundational constraints before component-level guidance.
3. Specify component anatomy, states, variants, and interaction behavior.
4. Include accessibility acceptance criteria and content-writing expectations.
5. Add anti-patterns and migration notes for existing inconsistent UI.
6. End with a QA checklist that can be executed in code review.

## Required Output Structure

When generating design-system guidance, use this structure:

- Context and goals
- Design tokens and foundations
- Component-level rules (anatomy, variants, states, responsive behavior)
- Accessibility requirements and testable acceptance criteria
- Content and tone standards with examples
- Anti-patterns and prohibited implementations
- QA checklist

## Component Rule Expectations

- Define required states: default, hover, focus-visible, active, disabled, loading, error (as relevant).
- Describe interaction behavior for keyboard, pointer, and touch.
- State spacing, typography, and color-token usage explicitly.
