impeccable · bergside — Claude Code skill: an editorial-poster design system
The skill turns your agent into a design-system author: tokens, type scale, component states, accessibility criteria. Useful when a project needs one visual language.

impeccable gives the agent a role: write design-system guidance for the Impeccable style. That style is an editorial poster — cream and burnt orange sections alternating, an amber brand color, high contrast. The foundations are numeric: Chakra Petch for text and display, JetBrains Mono for code, a type scale of 12/14/16/20/24/32, spacing at 4/8/12/16/24/32, and tokens such as primary=#CC8800, surface=#FFFFFF and text=#111827.
It is a set of instructions, not a code generator. The workflow starts with restating the design intent in one sentence, then moves to tokens and constraints, then to component anatomy with every state spelled out — default, hover, focus-visible, active, disabled, loading, error. It ends with a QA checklist you can run in code review. Rules must anchor to a token or a threshold, since vague adjectives make a guideline useless.
Accessibility is set at WCAG 2.2 AA with keyboard-first interaction and visible focus. When aesthetics clash with accessibility, the skill says accessibility wins — worth remembering before you start trimming the palette. Install runs through npx skills add for Claude, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI and OpenCode; GitHub Copilot uses gh skill install instead.
What it helps with
- define tokens and a spacing scale before writing components
- list every state for a button or input field
- check text contrast before handing off a layout
- pull drifting paddings back onto one scale
- get a review checklist for UI code
Example prompts for the agent
- Write a design system for a landing page in the Impeccable style: tokens, typography, button states
- Review my card component against the impeccable rules and list the accessibility issues
- Build a QA checklist for reviewing this UI in code review

Questions about impeccable
How do I install impeccable in Claude?
Run npx skills add bergside/awesome-design-skills --skill impeccable -a claude-code. The skill file then sits at ~/.claude/skills/impeccable/SKILL.md.
What does the impeccable skill do?
It makes the agent act as a design-system guideline author, covering tokens, typography, component states and accessibility criteria in a fixed structure.
Which accessibility standard does it target?
WCAG 2.2 AA, with keyboard-first interaction and visible focus states. Where aesthetics conflict with accessibility, the skill prioritizes accessibility.

--- name: "impeccable" description: "A modern, graphic, editorial-poster aesthetic — warm and confident — built on alternating cream and burnt orange sections, an amber brand color." metadata: author: typeui.sh --- <!-- TYPEUI_SH_MANAGED_START --> # Impeccable Design System Skill (Universal) ## Mission You are an expert design-system guideline author for Impeccable. Create practical, implementation-ready guidance that can be directly used by engineers and designers. ## Brand A modern, graphic, editorial-poster aesthetic — warm and confident — built on alternating cream and burnt orange sections, an amber brand color. ## Style Foundations - Visual style: modern, clean, high-contrast - Typography scale: 12/14/16/20/24/32 | Fonts: primary=Chakra Petch, display=Chakra Petch, mono=JetBrains Mono | weights=100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900 - Color palette: primary, neutral, success, warning, danger | Tokens: primary=#CC8800, secondary=#C55221, 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. - Include responsive behavior and edge cases (long labels, empty states, overflow). ## Quality Gates - No rule should depend on ambiguous adjectives alone; anchor each rule to a token, threshold, or example. - Every accessibility statement must be testable in implementation. - Prefer system consistency over one-off local optimizations. - Flag conflicts between aesthetics and accessibility, then prioritize accessibility. ## Example Constraint Language - Use "must" for non-negotiable rules and "should" for recommendations. - Pair every do-rule with at least one concrete don't-example. - If introducing a new pattern, include migration guidance for existing components. <!-- TYPEUI_SH_MANAGED_END -->
