Run the ai-component-description skill to generate a structured, machine-readable description for a design system component.
Load the ai-component-description skill from ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/ai-component-description/SKILL.md and follow its complete workflow.
Before starting, read the knowledge notes declared in the skill's frontmatter `references:` field, located in ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/knowledge-notes/.
Produce a six-section description: 1. Purpose — what the component does and when to use it 2. Props — every prop with type, default, and guidance 3. Anti-patterns — what NOT to do (use the inference guide for new components) 4. Composition rules — how it works with other components 5. Accessibility — keyboard, screen reader, ARIA, focus 6. Usage examples — concrete code showing correct usage
Also generate the structured JSON metadata for machine-readable manifests.
Run the self-test: could an AI agent select this component correctly, configure it, and avoid misuse based solely on this description?
