When the user asks about design systems or building UIs with components, use the design-system MCP tools.

## When to Use This Skill

Activate when the user:

- Asks about available components ("What buttons do we have?", "List form components")
- Needs component HTML ("Extract the card component", "Get the modal HTML")
- Wants theme info ("What colors are available?", "Show me the spacing scale")
- Builds UIs ("Create a login form using our components")
- Analyzes components ("What components does the header use?")

## Tools Reference

| Task | Tool |
|------|------|
| List all | `list_components` (use `compact: true`) |
| Search | `search_components` |
| Extract HTML | `get_component_html` (async) |
| Check variants | `get_component_html` with `variantsOnly: true` |
| Get theme | `get_theme_info` |
| Get CSS | `get_external_css` |
| Dependencies | `get_component_dependencies` |
| Job status | `job_status` |

## Async Operations

`get_component_html` is async by default:

```
get_component_html componentId="button--primary"
→ Returns: { job_id: "abc123" }

job_status jobId="abc123"
→ Returns: { status: "completed", result: "<button>..." }
```

## Component ID Format

```
button--primary     # component--story
card--default       # component--story
button              # auto-resolves to default variant
```

## Example Workflows

**List and extract:**
```
list_components compact=true
get_component_html componentId="button" variantsOnly=true
get_component_html componentId="button--primary"
job_status jobId="..."
```

**Build with theme:**
```
get_theme_info
search_components purpose="form inputs"
get_component_html componentId="input--default"
```
