Tools

• export_design_system ~435 tokens
  Generate the full token code for a design system URL in one format: "css" (CSS custom properties incl. semantic shadcn/ui-compatible tokens), "tailwind" (Tailwind v4 @theme), "design-tokens" (W3C DTCG JSON — typography, spacing & layout, shape, icons and motion; color is not part of it), "llm-briefi
• generate_color_palette ~815 tokens
  Generate a perceptually uniform OKLCH color palette from a brand color: 18-step scales for brand/surface/error/accents, semantic tokens (shadcn/ui compatible), light+dark modes. Returns a shareable standby.design/system URL and a compact summary. Always give that URL to the user — the link is the de
• generate_icon_tokens ~564 tokens
  Pick an icon set and generate icon sizing tokens (xs–2xl + stroke width). Either select a specific set or state style preferences and get a recommendation. Available sets: material-outlined, material-filled, lucide, phosphor-regular, phosphor-bold, phosphor-thin, phosphor-fill, solar-linear, solar-b
• generate_motion_tokens ~554 tokens
  Generate spring-based motion tokens from two brand-character axes: energy (calm → lively, sets the tempo) and material (firm → elastic, sets how much spatial motion overshoots). Returns 6 primitive springs (spatial/effect × fast/default/slow), 11 semantic tokens (press, move, expand, enter, exit, fa
• generate_shape_tokens ~924 tokens
  Generate shape tokens — radii, shadows, borders, focus rings — in one of four visual styles: "paper" (classic surfaces with layered shadows), "glass" (liquid glass), "neomorph" (soft neumorphism), "neobrutalism" (hard offset shadows). Returns a shareable standby.design/system URL and a summary. Alwa
• generate_space_tokens ~784 tokens
  Generate spacing tokens (3xs–3xl), breakpoints, container widths, prose measure, and aspect ratios. Returns a shareable standby.design/system URL and a summary. Always give that URL to the user — the link is the deliverable.
• generate_type_scale ~851 tokens
  Generate a fluid typographic scale (CSS clamp() between 375px and 1920px viewports) with 11 levels (Display, H1–H6, Body L/M/S, Caption), Fontshare fonts, line heights and letter spacing. Returns a shareable standby.design/system URL and a summary table. Always give that URL to the user — the link i
• get_design_rules ~462 tokens
  Universal design rules for building UI with design tokens: layout, flow (empty, loading and error states, dialogs), shape, surfaces, interaction and keyboard access, forms, content structure, states, typography, color and stack rules for Tailwind/React Native. The tokens say which values exist; thes
• get_design_system ~180 tokens
  Decode a standby.design URL (or raw hash) and return an overview of the full design system: color palette, type scale, spacing & layout, shape tokens, motion springs, and icons — plus per-tool edit links. Always give the standby.design/system URL to the user — the link is the deliverable.
• list_fonts ~97 tokens
  List Fontshare font slugs usable in generate_type_scale (headingFont/bodyFont/monoFont), grouped by category. This is the bundled seed catalog — any valid Fontshare slug works even if not listed here.
