Rob's opinionated process for building Sketch design systems (iOS/iPadOS/macOS, Android, Web) on the local Sketch MCP server (Sketch 2025.2.4+, non-App-Store build; run_code/get_screenshot tools). Covers gates checked every session -- dark canvas before any Frame or Symbol exists, no empty pages, Sketch token/Color Variable names must match the codebase exactly -- plus Figma-to-Sketch terminology, Color Variables and non-color token docs (no Tokens Studio equiv.), Symbols and Symbol Overrides in place of components/variants, Smart Layout, Library setup/sync, native + manual glass/glassmorphism layering, building from scratch vs. replicating an existing app, minimum screen set per platform, Dev-Mode-equivalent handoff via Sketch Cloud, and Sketch execution technique for all 14 visual styles. Use when building, auditing, or extending a Sketch design system; creating Symbols, Color Variables, or token specs; applying a visual style in Sketch; replicating an app's UI; or preparing a Sketch file for handoff.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
5 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈2
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
3
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
No licence file, so all rights are reserved — read it at the source. We count its rules but don't quote them. Read them on GitHub.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Does it work?

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.
