Skill1 starsChanged 18 days agoMITView on GitHub
Rebuild an app's design system for a clone as tokens and component specs: colour roles, type scale, spacing, radius, shadows and every component with its states, with open icons and fonts instead of the original's assets, checked by a WCAG contrast tool. Use for 'match the design', 'design system', 'get the colours and fonts', 'make it look like X', 'design tokens'; RU: дизайн-система, повтори дизайн, токены, цвета и шрифты как у.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
Files
replica-design
Reads replica/recon.md and replica/screens/. Writes replica/design/tokens.json (template in
this folder), tokens.css, the Tailwind mapping and replica/design/components.md.
python3 contrast.py replica/design/tokens.jsonWhat you rebuild and what you never take
Rebuild the system: roles, scales, patterns, how a form or a modal behaves. Never take logos,
icons, illustrations, photos, sounds (use Lucide, Phosphor, Heroicons, Tabler), licensed fonts
(use Inter, Geist, IBM Plex, Manrope, PT Sans or Golos for Cyrillic), the copy, or the brand
colour: record it as the accent role with a neutral placeholder, /replica-brand picks yours.
A signature colour plus a signature layout is trade dress, and it changes before launch.
Fonts for a Russian audience must have full Cyrillic. Check before choosing.
Step 1: measure, do not guess
From the screenshots: colour roles (bg, surface, border, border-input, text, text-muted, accent, on-accent, danger, success, warning: most apps use 5 to 7 greys), the type scale snapped to a scale, spacing on a 4 or 8 base, two or three radii, shadows and motions, layout widths and breakpoints.
Step 2: tokens and contrast
Fill tokens.json, keep the role names, list every text and background pair under pairs, run
contrast.py. AA is the floor: 4.5:1 for body text, 3:1 for large text, input borders and focus
rings. Fix failures in the tokens, not per component.
Step 3: component specs
One block per component in components.md: variants, sizes, every state (default, hover, active,
focus-visible, disabled, loading, error, empty), the tokens, keyboard and screen reader behaviour,
which screens use it.
Step 4: primitives in code
Build them once, in isolation (a /design route or Storybook), on an accessible base if the stack
has one (Radix, shadcn/ui, React Aria). Screenshot that page: it is the design system check.
Next: /replica-build.

Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
