vibrant — Claude Code skill: a bold, colorful design system

Gives your agent a full set of rules for a lively UI: color tokens, type scale, spacing and accessibility. Useful when the default grey look is not what you want.

What vibrant does

The skill turns the agent into an author of design-system guidance for Vibrant. Foundations come first: a type scale of 14/16/18/24/32/40, Noto Sans for body text, Fascinate for display, Fira Code for mono, weights from 100 to 900. Colors are token-based — primary #7C61D4, secondary #EAAE87, success #16A34A, warning #D97706, danger #DC2626, surface #FFFFFF, text #2F281D. Spacing follows 2/4/8/12/16/24/32/48.

From there the agent works in steps: restate the intent in one sentence, define tokens and constraints, then component anatomy with default, hover, focus-visible, active, disabled, loading and error states. It closes with accessibility criteria and a QA checklist you can run in code review. Every rule has to hang on a token or a threshold, not on vague adjectives.

Accessibility is not an afterthought here. The skill targets WCAG 2.2 AA, keyboard-first interaction, visible focus, reduced-motion support and touch targets of 44px or more. When aesthetics clash with accessibility, the guidance says pick accessibility. That matters if you were planning a low-contrast text treatment for mood — the rules forbid it outright.

What it helps with

  • lock down a palette and spacing scale before building components
  • spell out button and input states without gaps
  • check text contrast before handing off a mockup
  • replace scattered hardcoded styles with semantic tokens
  • get a review checklist for front-end code

Example prompts for the agent

  • Write a design system for this landing page in the vibrant style: tokens, typography, button states
  • Audit my signup form against the vibrant skill rules and flag accessibility issues
  • Build a QA checklist for reviewing this UI against the vibrant guideline

Questions about vibrant

How do I install vibrant in Claude?

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

What does the vibrant skill do?

It hands your agent the rules of a bold, colorful design system: color tokens, fonts, spacing scale, component states and accessibility requirements. You get implementation-ready guidance instead of generic advice.

Which accessibility requirements does it set?

WCAG 2.2 AA, keyboard-first interaction, visible focus states, screen-reader tested labels, reduced-motion support and touch targets of 44px or more. Each requirement is written so it can be tested in code.

# Vibrant Design System Skill (Universal)

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

## Brand
Vibrant style 

## Style Foundations
- Visual style: modern, clean, bold, playful
- Typography scale: 14/16/18/24/32/40 | Fonts: primary=Noto Sans, display=Fascinate, mono=Fira Code | weights=100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900
- Color palette: primary, secondary, neutral, success | Tokens: primary=#7C61D4, secondary=#EAAE87, success=#16A34A, warning=#D97706, danger=#DC2626, surface=#FFFFFF, text=#2F281D
- Spacing scale: 2/4/8/12/16/24/32/48


## Accessibility
WCAG 2.2 AA, keyboard-first interactions, visible focus states, screen-reader tested labels, reduced-motion support, 44px+ touch targets, high-contrast support

## 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.
