Skill: Design Tokens
In this project, the DTCG files
.claude/skills/_ux-ui-shared/tokens/*.jsonare the token source of truth. They already hold the real blue-primary theme (blue-600#2563eb, dark overrides, WCAG-verified). Edit tokens there, then compile toapp/globals.css(seetoken-build). For building UI from these tokens, defer toshadcn-ui-design(semantic Tailwind utilities, shadcn CLI, no forking).
Produce and maintain DTCG ($type/$value) tokens following the project's 3-tier system.
Steps
- Read
CLAUDE.md→ "Token System" + "Color/Typography/Spacing Guidelines" for the rules (4px base, Major Third scale, OKLCH palette generation, dark-mode-at-semantic-layer). - Read the relevant existing files in
.claude/skills/_ux-ui-shared/tokens/to match structure:colors.json,typography.json,spacing.json,shadows.json,borders.json,breakpoints.json,motion.json,gradients.json,opacity.json,blur.json,sizing.json,states.json,theming.json. - Generate/extend tokens:
- Primitives = raw values (never used directly). Semantic = purpose aliases. Component = component-scoped.
- New palettes: generate 11 OKLCH shades; verify 500 ≥ 4.5:1 on white (text), 600 ≥ 3:1 (UI) using the
a11y-auditskill /.claude/skills/_ux-ui-shared/scripts/contrast.py. - Multi-brand/density →
theming.json.
- Validate: run
python3 .claude/skills/_ux-ui-shared/scripts/validate_tokens.py(JSON validity + alias resolution).
Output
DTCG JSON. Preserve $description on every token. Reference, never hardcode.
