Design System Generator

Generate a token-driven design system: tokens, base components, build config, and documentation.

references/design-tokens.md — color, typography, spacing, shadow, and radius token files plus CSS variable setup.
references/components.md — Button, Input, Card implementations and the component barrel index.
references/config-and-utilities.md — Tailwind config and the cn class-merge helper.

Workflow

Define design tokens. Create tokens/ with colors, typography, spacing, and effects (shadows, radii) per references/design-tokens.md. Replace the reference values with the project brand palette.
Add CSS variables. Set up :root and .dark custom properties in globals.css using the variable block in references/design-tokens.md.
Wire the build. Add the cn helper and extend the Tailwind theme from the token files following references/config-and-utilities.md.
Build base components. Implement Button, Input, and Card from references/components.md, then extend the set as the product requires.
Export a barrel. Re-export every shipped component from components/ui/index.ts (see references/components.md).
Document usage and variants. For each component, note its variants, sizes, props, and accessibility behavior so consumers apply it consistently.

by anthropics

vendor ×10

Suite of tools for creating elaborate, multi-component claude.ai HTML artifacts using modern frontend web technologies (React, Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui). Use for complex artifacts requiring state management, routing, or shadcn/ui components - not for simple single-file HTML/JSX artifacts.

UI/UX design intelligence. 50 styles, 21 palettes, 50 font pairings, 20 charts, 9 stacks (React, Next.js, Vue, Svelte, SwiftUI, React Native, Flutter, Tailwind, shadcn/ui). Actions: plan, build, create, design, implement, review, fix, improve, optimize, enhance, refactor, check UI/UX code. Projects: website, landing page, dashboard, admin panel, e-commerce, SaaS, portfolio, blog, mobile app, .html, .tsx, .vue, .svelte. Elements: button, modal, navbar, sidebar, card, table, form, chart.
