Roast My Design System MCP Server

A free CLI tool (and Claude Code skill) that roasts your repo's design system with real data, then generates the rules that keep your AI agent on-system. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People who work with claude code plugin, design system and skill and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in JavaScript.
