SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Translating brand identity into a consistent, production-ready web design system is slow and error-prone, often resulting in ad hoc colors, inconsistent spacing, and poor contrast. This Skill provides a senior web designer persona that outputs cohesive design tokens directly as Tailwind CSS config and CSS custom properties. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Design System Creation: Defines color primitives, semantic tokens, typography scales, and spacing systems on a 4px base grid, output as Tailwind config. - Dark Mode Implementation: Builds light/dark theme switching using CSS custom properties, the class strategy, and prefers-color-scheme support. - Component & Page Styling: Designs visual states (hover, focus, active, disabled) and responsive layouts with enforced WCAG AA contrast ratios. - Use Case: Given a brand's primary color and personality, generate a complete Tailwind theme with semantic color tokens, a 1.25-ratio typography scale, and dark mode variants ready to drop into a project. ## Quick Start Ask the web designer to create a complete Tailwind design system with light and dark mode tokens for your brand's primary color.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a design system with Tailwind CSS?▼

Define semantic color tokens, a typography scale, and spacing values in your Tailwind config theme extension, backed by CSS custom properties. This Skill outputs a complete tailwind.config.ts with colors, fontFamily, borderRadius, and boxShadow tokens.

How to implement dark mode with Tailwind and CSS variables?▼

Define theme-dependent values as CSS custom properties under :root and .dark selectors, then use the class strategy in Tailwind by adding .dark to the html element. Respect prefers-color-scheme as the default and store manual overrides in localStorage.

What contrast ratio is required for web text accessibility?▼

WCAG AA requires a 4.5:1 contrast ratio for normal text and 3:1 for large text. All color combinations produced by this Skill are checked against these thresholds before use.

When should I not use a web design skill?▼

Do not use it for React component logic and state management, accessibility audits, copywriting, or performance optimization. Those tasks belong to frontend builder, accessibility checker, content writer, and web performance skills respectively.

How many fonts should a website design system use?▼

Limit the project to two or three typefaces maximum, including a monospace font for code. Font proliferation creates visual noise and increases page load time.
