# UI Color Palette for Claude

**UI Color Palette for Claude** is a [Claude Code](https://code.claude.com) plugin that brings the full color system workflow into your AI-assisted development environment — from generating source colors to pushing tokens to Figma, Penpot, Framer, or Sketch.

## The 4-phase workflow

```
Source → Palette → Deploy → Manage
```

| Phase           | What it does                                                                          | Skills                                                     |
| --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| **1 · Source**  | Generate source colors from an image, a prompt, a harmony, or a design tool selection | `generate-source-colors`                                   |
| **2 · Palette** | Build a shade scale, define a semantic token system, audit contrast                   | `scale-palette`, `build-color-system`, `audit-palette`     |
| **3 · Deploy**  | Push to design tools or export as code                                                | `generate-code`, `generate-semantic-code`, platform skills |
| **4 · Manage**  | Browse, publish, share, update, and delete community palettes                         | `manage-palettes`                                          |

## Installation

**Step 1 — Add the Yelbolt marketplace** (once per machine):

```bash
/plugin marketplace add yelbolt/claude-marketplace
```

**Step 2 — Install the plugin:**

```bash
/plugin install ui-color-palette@yelbolt
```

On first enable, the plugin prompts for optional credentials — Penpot token, Framer MCP URL, GitLab instance URL. These can be skipped and configured later via `/plugin config`.

### Update

```bash
/plugin marketplace update yelbolt
```

### Alternative — direct GitHub install

```bash
/plugin install github:a-ng-d/claude-ui-color-palette
```

## Default agent — uicper

The plugin configures **`uicper`** as the default orchestrator agent. Once the plugin is installed, activate it with:

```bash
/agents
```

From that point, you can describe what you want in plain language — no skill invocation needed:

```
Generate a warm, earthy brand palette and push it to Figma as variables
```

`uicper` coordinates the full 4-phase workflow (Source → Palette → Deploy → Manage), asks only the blocking questions, and delegates heavy work to specialized sub-agents (`palette-auditor`, `palette-codegen`, `palette-color-systemer`, `palette-publisher`, `palette-transitioner`).

Skills remain available at any time for direct, single-step operations. See [Agents](/claude/agents.md) for the full sub-agent list and delegation rules.

## Prerequisites

Some platform integrations require external setup:

| Platform      | Requirement                                                                                   |
| ------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Figma Desktop | Run Figma desktop with MCP enabled                                                            |
| Penpot        | Provide your user token via `/plugin config`                                                  |
| Framer        | Install the [MCP plugin](https://www.framer.com/marketplace/plugins/mcp/) and provide the URL |

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ui-color-palette.com/claude/readme.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
