# Carbon (IBM) design system
Build UI that follows IBM's Carbon design system — precise, enterprise-scale, IBM Blue on a neutral field with a strict 8px rhythm.
## When to use this skill
Use this skill when the user:
- Asks for Carbon, an IBM-style UI, or an engineered enterprise look
- Builds data-dense consoles, dashboards, tables, or admin forms
- Wants Carbon's real tokens (IBM Plex type, 8px grid, semantic status colors) instead of guessed values
## Apply it
1. Read the bundled `DESIGN.md` in this skill's directory — it contains Carbon's
tokens (colors, typography, spacing, radius, components) and usage rules.
2. Copy it into the project root as `DESIGN.md` (or merge on the user's direction).
3. Follow its "Do's and Don'ts" and "Agent Prompt Guide" sections exactly:
reference tokens by name (`{colors.primary}`, `{spacing.md}`), keep corners
near-square, stay on the 8px grid, keep every text/background pair WCAG AA.
Refresh from the live catalog when the user wants current values (optional —
the bundled copy works fully offline):
`curl -fsSL https://api.agent-ds.oday-bakkour.com/v1/systems/carbon/design.md`
(also available: `tokens.json`, `tailwind.css`, `bundle.zip`). The full 40+
system catalog is browsable at https://agent-ds.oday-bakkour.com; the
`design-systems` master skill in this same repository covers all of them.
