What this is

Every part of the Patterson design system — the brand core, each template, each UI kit — is its own plugin. Install only what you need; each ships a skill (auto-invoked knowledge), slash commands (scaffold workflows), a subagent (a specialist Claude delegates to), and a self-contained ds/ snapshot of every file it needs.

Quick start

From a git host (push this repo first, keep it private — see Brand & licensing):

# inside Claude Code
/plugin marketplace add patterson-agents/design-system
/plugin install patterson-brand@patterson-design      # the foundation
/plugin install patterson-deck@patterson-design       # …plus whatever you need

From a local checkout:

cd patterson-design-marketplace
claude
/plugin marketplace add .
/plugin install patterson-deck@patterson-design

Then use it three ways:

/patterson-deck:new-deck Q3 dental equipment business review   ← slash command
/patterson-deck:deck-template                                   ← invoke the skill directly
"make me a Patterson deck about our vet supply chain"           ← skill + agent fire automatically
