SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the challenge of maintaining consistent, accessible, and high-quality design system themes across light, dark, and high-contrast modes without resorting to fragile, hard-coded color values.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Semantic Token Mapping: Establishes a robust contract between design roles and theme-specific values, ensuring components remain theme-blind.
  • Contextual Tuning: Provides expert guidance on tuning dark mode surfaces, elevation, and accent colors to prevent visual vibration and contrast failure.
  • Preference Resolution: Implements reliable strategies for handling user-selected themes, OS preferences, and forced-colors environments to ensure a no-flash experience.

Quick Start

Use the theming skill to generate a semantic token mapping and contrast verification plan for a new dark mode implementation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build a semantic token system for multi-mode UI themes?

Build a semantic token system by mapping design roles to theme-specific values, ensuring components remain theme-blind across light, dark, and high-contrast modes without relying on hard-coded colors.

What is the best way to prevent visual vibration when tuning dark mode surfaces?

The best way to tune dark mode surfaces is through contextual adjustment of elevation and accent colors, specifically preventing visual vibration and contrast failure rather than simply inverting light mode values.

How do I implement a no-flash experience for user-selected dark mode preferences?

Implement a no-flash dark mode experience by applying preference resolution strategies that reliably handle user-selected themes, OS preferences, and forced-colors environments before UI rendering.

How do I verify per-theme contrast compliance for a design system?

Verify per-theme contrast compliance by generating a contrast verification plan that requires strict adherence to semantic role mapping across all light, dark, and high-contrast UI themes.

Does this approach support cross-mode accessibility in forced-colors environments?

Yes, cross-mode accessibility is supported by implementing reliable preference resolution strategies that explicitly handle forced-colors environments alongside standard OS preferences and user-selected themes.

When should I not use inverted colors for dark mode implementation?

You should not use inverted colors for dark mode when strict adherence to semantic role mapping is required, as contextual tuning of surfaces and accents is necessary to prevent contrast failure.
