Quick Start

Example Prompts Paste these directly into Claude Code

Apply to an existing interface:

Apply the Airtime design system from https://github.com/all-turtles/airtime-design-system

Redesign an existing interface:

Re-design this using Airtime design system from https://github.com/all-turtles/airtime-design-system

Create something new:

Create a new settings panel using Airtime design system from https://github.com/all-turtles/airtime-design-system

Claude Code will read the CLAUDE.md file from the repository and apply the system's tokens, constraints, anti-patterns, and component patterns automatically.

Setup: Reference Mode No setup required — include the URL in your prompt

Just include the GitHub URL in your prompt. Claude Code will fetch the design system files directly from the repository each session. This is the simplest approach — no local files needed.

Use the Airtime design system from https://github.com/all-turtles/airtime-design-system
Setup: Clone Locally Recommended for repeated use

Clone the design system alongside your project:

git clone https://github.com/all-turtles/airtime-design-system.git

Then copy the design system files into your project:

cp -r airtime-design-system/generated/ your-project/design-system/generated/
cp -r airtime-design-system/components/ your-project/design-system/components/
cp -r airtime-design-system/tokens/ your-project/design-system/tokens/
cp airtime-design-system/CLAUDE.md your-project/design-system/CLAUDE.md

Or reference it as a sibling directory by adding this to your project's CLAUDE.md:

## Design System
Apply the Airtime design system from `../airtime-design-system/`.
Load `CLAUDE.md` from that repo for token values, anti-patterns, and component inventory.
Key Files Which files to use and what they do
FileWhat It Does
CLAUDE.mdAI instructions — token reference, anti-patterns, component inventory
generated/tokens.cssCSS custom properties — link this in your HTML
components/*.cssComponent styles — import the ones you need
generated/icons.js742 SVG icons via AppIcons object
generated/.design-rules.jsonMachine-readable anti-pattern rules
Using the CSS & Skills Link stylesheets and use slash commands

Link the token stylesheet and any component styles in your HTML:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="design-system/generated/tokens.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="design-system/components/button.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="design-system/components/input.css">
<!-- add other component files as needed -->

Then use any of the 7 skills:

/apply-tokens          Restyle existing UI with tokens
/frontend-design       Generate new interfaces
/generate-tokens       Compile token JSON into CSS
/figma-to-tokens       Extract tokens from Figma
/audit-ux              Design critique
/audit-accessibility   WCAG compliance check
/audit-design-system   Token coverage report
