Retrieve Coinbase Design System (CDS) documentation: setup, installation, theming, tokens, and per-component APIs/examples. Use this skill whenever the task involves CDS components, design-system rules, theming, or choosing between web and mobile CDS packages, even if the user only says "use CDS" or names a component. Always start from the docs route index, then fetch only the pages you need to reason and implement correctly. Prefer the CDS MCP server (`list-cds-routes`, `get-cds-doc`); if MCP is unavailable, use curl against https://cds.coinbase.com/llms/....

Turn Figma designs into CDS React (cds-web) or React Native (cds-mobile) code. Use when the user shares a Figma design URL (e.g. `figma.com/design/...?node-id=...`) or asks to "implement this design" or "build this from Figma" in a frontend project that is using Coinbase Design System (CDS). Do not use for general CDS UI work with no Figma reference (use `cds-code`), or for design critique without an implementation request.

Provides a workflow for building and reviewing high-quality React and React Native UI with the Coinbase Design System (CDS). Use this skill to create UI or make visual changes to existing UI with CDS components, tokens, style props, icons, and illustrations. Use it for explicit CDS-adherence audits and reviews, not non-visual logic, data, analytics, navigation, tests, generated code, or refactoring. Examples: "build this screen", "fix spacing on this component", "replace this UI with CDS components", "perform a CDS audit on our changes", "check our codebase for CDS adherence", "does this feature use CDS well?"

Audits how often deprecated CDS exports are actively used in customer codebases using Sourcegraph MCP search tools. Use this skill whenever asked to assess removal readiness for deprecated CDS APIs, investigate the blast radius of removing a deprecated component or hook, check Sourcegraph for customer usage of deprecated exports, or help the team decide which deprecated APIs are safe to remove in the next major version. Always invoke when asked to "audit deprecated APIs", "check Sourcegraph for deprecated usage", "find usages of deprecated exports", "analyze deprecation impact", or any similar request involving CDS deprecations and customer adoption.

Instructions to fetch assigned Linear issues in the current cycle and potentially kick off a development session.

Instructions to manage a local cache of GitHub repositories. This would typically done in cases where the user want to perform research/analysis on a repository. Invoke whenever you need to clone a repo that isn't present locally, bring an existing clone up to date, or remove a repo from the cache. This skill handles only the mechanical filesystem/git operations — not research, analysis, or anything about the repo's contents.

Analyzes the previous N commits for breaking changes across the CDS public API surface. Use this skill when you need to check if any recent changes will cause breaking changes in the CDS public API surface.

A guided workflow for non-technical contributors (designers, PMs) to describe a feature idea and produce a detailed technical implementation plan for an engineer. Invoke manually with /feature-planner.

USE THIS when asked to create a new eslint plugin rule for the eslint-plugin-cds package

USE THIS when asked to work on a new or existing (WEB) CDS React component in packages/web

USE THIS when asked to work on a new or existing (MOBILE) CDS React component in packages/mobile

Deprecates a CDS component, hook, or other exported symbol with consistent JSDoc, version tags, and docsite metadata across every public export path (web, mobile, common, visualization), not only the original package. Use whenever the user asks to deprecate a CDS component or API, mark something as deprecated, add @deprecated / @deprecationExpectedRemoval, or update deprecation warnings in apps/docs metadata under components or hooks (webMetadata.json / mobileMetadata.json / metadata.json). Also use when replacing a component or hook and sunsetting the old one. Always finish by running `yarn nx run <project>:lint` on modified packages so `internal/deprecated-jsdoc-has-removal-version` passes.

Guidelines for creating or updating documentation for a CDS component on the docsite (apps/docs/). Use this skill after creating or making updates to a CDS React component to write high quality documentaiton in the CDS docsite.

Guidelines writing styles API (styles, classNames, and static classNames) for a CDS component. Use this skill when adding customization options to a React component via `styles` or `classNames` props or when needing to update the docsite with component styles documentation.

Use this skill whenever working on CDS React components in any package.

Create new skills, modify and improve existing skills, and measure skill performance. Use when users want to create a skill from scratch, edit, or optimize an existing skill, run evals to test a skill, benchmark skill performance with variance analysis, or optimize a skill's description for better triggering accuracy.
