Ui tokens
View, add, or modify design tokens in the StyleSeed design system
How to use it
- Start your plan and connect your AI once
- Add the skill to your AI, one time only: press Copy skill and paste it into your AI's instructions: a project in ChatGPT, Claude or Grok, a Gem in Gemini, an agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot, or a rule in Cursor. It stays there for every new chat. In Kimi, paste it at the start of a new chat.
- Ask for the task in your own words, or say it directly:

Design Token Manager
When to Use
Use this skill when you need view, add, or modify design tokens in the StyleSeed design system.
When NOT to use
- For applying tokens in components → use
/ss-componentor/ss-pattern - For finding token violations in existing code → use
/ss-lint - For brand-wide color/font choices that don't exist yet — define a skin first, then add tokens
- For non-CSS token systems (Figma, native iOS/Android) — Tailwind v4 / CSS variables only
Action: $0 | Token type: $1 Arguments: $ARGUMENTS
Token File Locations
| Type | JSON Source | CSS Implementation |
|---|---|---|
| Colors | tokens/colors.json | css/theme.css :root + @theme inline |
| Typography | tokens/typography.json | css/fonts.css + css/base.css |
| Spacing | tokens/spacing.json | Tailwind utilities (no custom CSS needed) |
| Radius | tokens/radii.json | css/theme.css @theme inline |
| Shadows | tokens/shadows.json | css/theme.css :root |
Instructions
list — Show current tokens
Read and display the requested token file in a formatted table.
add — Add new token
- Add the token to the JSON source file (
tokens/*.json) - Add the CSS custom property to
css/theme.cssunder:root - If it needs a Tailwind utility, add to the
@theme inlineblock - If it has a dark mode variant, add to the
.darkblock
update — Modify existing token
- Update the value in the JSON source file
- Update the CSS custom property in
theme.css - Check all components for direct usage that might need updating
Rules
- Always keep JSON and CSS in sync
- Use semantic names, not descriptive names (
--successnot--green-500) - Colors should support both light and dark modes
- New tokens must be added to BOTH the JSON source AND the CSS implementation

Limitations
- Use this skill only when the task clearly matches its upstream source and local project context.
- Verify commands, generated code, dependencies, credentials, and external service behavior before applying changes.
- Do not treat examples as a substitute for environment-specific tests, security review, or user approval for destructive or costly actions.
