Standardized conversion for VS Code

Ensure every team member uses the same color formats. The `convert_color` tool provides a single source of truth for your CSS variables. It removes ambiguity from your design system. Your agent handles the translation, keeping your codebase clean and predictable.

Shared palette generation in VS Code

Generate design tokens that everyone on the team can use. `generate_color_palette` creates consistent schemes from your primary brand color. This tool helps keep your UI aligned across different features. It eliminates the need for manual design specs.

Luminance math for VS Code components

Calculate exact shade variations for your design system. Use `manipulate_luminance` to keep your component styles mathematically sound. Your agent applies these adjustments in milliseconds. It ensures your team creates high-quality, accessible interfaces every time.
