What neon does

The skill gives the agent a fixed brief for Neon: high-contrast visuals, a type scale of 14/16/18/24/32/40, a spacing scale of 4/8/12/16/24/32, and a token set — primary=#BBF351, secondary=#00BCFF, success=#16A34A, warning=#D97706, danger=#DC2626, surface=#FFFFFF, text=#111827. Fonts are Roboto for body, STIX Two Text for display, Source Code Pro for mono.

Output follows a set order: restate the intent in one sentence, define tokens and foundations, then component rules covering default, hover, focus-visible, active, disabled, loading and error states, and finish with a QA checklist you can run in code review. Every rule has to hang off a token, a threshold or an example, so vague adjectives don't survive. Accessibility target is WCAG 2.2 AA with keyboard-first interaction and visible focus.

One constraint is non-negotiable: when aesthetics and accessibility collide, accessibility wins. That means low-contrast text and drifting spacing get rejected while the rules are being written, not after. The installed file lands at ~/.claude/skills/neon/SKILL.md.

What it helps with

  • write design-system guidance anchored to tokens rather than hex values
  • specify component states before anyone builds them
  • check text and focus contrast against WCAG 2.2 AA
  • pull scattered spacing back onto one scale
  • produce a review checklist for UI changes

Example prompts for the agent

  • Write the Neon design-system guidance for our app: tokens, typography, button states
  • Review this component against the neon skill rules and flag accessibility problems
  • Build a QA checklist for code review based on the Neon guidelines

Questions about neon

How do I install neon in Claude?

Run npx skills add bergside/awesome-design-skills --skill neon -a claude-code. The skill file then sits at ~/.claude/skills/neon/SKILL.md.

What does the neon skill do?

It makes the agent write Neon design-system guidance: palette, type and spacing scales, component rules with all interaction states, and testable accessibility criteria.

Which fonts and colors does Neon use?

Roboto for body text, STIX Two Text for display, Source Code Pro for code. The base tokens are primary=#BBF351 and secondary=#00BCFF.

# Neon Design System Skill (Universal)

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

## Brand
Neon high contrast design 

## Style Foundations
- Visual style: high-contrast
- Typography scale: 14/16/18/24/32/40 | Fonts: primary=Roboto, display=STIX Two Text, mono=Source Code Pro | weights=100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900
- Color palette: primary, secondary | Tokens: primary=#BBF351, secondary=#00BCFF, 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.
