Validate design system compliance in code and detect token usage violations

Instructions available. Your AI can read the instructions. Execution depends on the setup they require.

Add ahel to your AI once: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or Codex. Then ask it to use this.

Then ask your AI: use the Design System Validator Skill skill

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by a5c-ai/babysitter in library/specializations/ux-ui-design/skills/design-system-validator/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Purpose

Validate that code adheres to design system specifications, checking token usage, component props, and style consistency.

Capabilities

  • Check design token usage in CSS/SCSS
  • Validate component prop usage
  • Detect hard-coded values that should use tokens
  • Ensure naming convention compliance
  • Generate compliance reports
  • Integrate with linting tools

Target Processes

  • design-system.js
  • component-library.js

Integration Points

  • ESLint plugins for design systems
  • Stylelint for CSS validation
  • Custom AST analyzers
  • Token documentation
