Hands the agent a full set of design-system rules: tokens, typography, component states and accessibility criteria. Useful when you want a clean interface without hand-tweaking.

## What it does

This skill turns the agent into a design-system author. It lays out the foundation first: a mobile-first type scale, Poppins for body and display text, IBM Plex Mono for monospace, and nine weights from 100 to 900. Colors come as tokens — primary `#FECE14`, secondary `#000000`, success `#16A34A`, warning `#D97706`, danger `#DC2626`, surface `#FFFFFF`, text `#111827`. Spacing follows the 4/8/12/16/24/32 scale.

The workflow is spelled out too. State the design intent in one sentence, define tokens and constraints, then move to component-level rules. Every component gets anatomy, variants, states (default, hover, focus-visible, active, disabled, loading, error) and behavior for keyboard, pointer and touch. Accessibility rests on WCAG 2.2 AA, keyboard-first interaction and visible focus states. The writing tone is concise, confident, helpful.

There are hard nos as well: low-contrast text, a broken spacing rhythm, ambiguous labels. Rules must anchor to a token or a threshold rather than vague adjectives, and when aesthetics clash with accessibility, accessibility wins. Each do-rule ships with a concrete don't-example, and a new pattern needs migration notes for existing components. If your project already has its own palette, expect friction — you will be overriding the tokens.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

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

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

### Codex

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

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

### Cursor

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

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

### GitHub Copilot

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

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

### Gemini CLI

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

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

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add bergside/awesome-design-skills --skill professional -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/professional/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- build a design system from scratch for a business interface
- define component states instead of guessing them
- check contrast and focus against WCAG 2.2 AA
- set spacing and type scales as tokens
- write migration notes for legacy components

## Example prompts
- Write a design system for an electronics shop UI: tokens, typography, component states
- Audit my button against this skill's rules and list the violations
- Build a QA checklist for code review based on this design system

# Professional Design System Skill (Universal)

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

## Brand
Electronics shop 

## Style Foundations
- Visual style: modern
- Typography scale: mobile-first compact scale | Fonts: primary=Poppins, display=Poppins, mono=IBM Plex Mono | weights=100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900
- Color palette: primary, secondary, neutral, success, warning, danger | Tokens: primary=#FECE14, secondary=#000000, 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
```
