Claude’s promotion to Senior Design Architect

What it does This is essentially a massive prompt-engineering and reference-data kit for Claude. It loads via CLAUDE.md to give the agent a persona with 15+ years of design-system expertise, then provides DTCG-format tokens, 50 component specs following Atomic Design, 138 brand-grade design-system references, and 17 runnable slash skills. The goal is consistent, accessible, token-driven UI output across any framework without hardcoded values or aesthetic slop.

The interesting bit The project treats “taste” as a technical requirement, not a vague hope. It includes an anti-slop doctrine, aesthetic archetypes, and a motion-choreography grammar with reduced-motion parity. There are also real Python validation scripts—contrast checkers, token validators, and hardcode linters—that can run in CI with zero dependencies, so the agent’s output is actually gate-checked rather than blindly trusted.

Key highlights

• DTCG-format tokens with a three-tier architecture (Primitive → Semantic → Component)
• Adapter Protocol with 16 framework adapters covering React, SwiftUI, Flutter, and others
• WCAG 2.2 AA/AAA auditing with prioritized P0/P1/P2 findings and real contrast-validation scripts
• 138 design-system references for brand-grade direction, plus crosswalks to Material 3, Apple HIG, shadcn/ui, and others
• 17 invocable slash skills (/design-code, /a11y-audit, /apply-aesthetic, etc.) that load only the files they need

Caveats

• This is a knowledge and instruction layer, not a runtime library; you need Claude Code or a Claude-powered IDE to use it
• The README claims 50 components while the repo description says 42—exact counts are unclear

Verdict Worth a look if you need an AI agent with actual design standards, accessibility enforcement, and cross-framework output. Ignore it if you don’t use Claude—it’s literally just instructions for Claude.
