Migrated from design-system-swarm with fresh git history.
Old project history preserved in /home/overbits/apps/design-system-swarm
Core components:
- MCP Server (Python FastAPI with mcp 1.23.1)
- Claude Plugin (agents, commands, skills, strategies, hooks, core)
- DSS Backend (dss-mvp1 - token translation, Figma sync)
- Admin UI (Node.js/React)
- Server (Node.js/Express)
- Storybook integration (dss-mvp1/.storybook)
Self-contained configuration:
- All paths relative or use DSS_BASE_PATH=/home/overbits/dss
- PYTHONPATH configured for dss-mvp1 and dss-claude-plugin
- .env file with all configuration
- Claude plugin uses ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} for portability

DSS Immutability System (Simplified)
Overview
Protects core architecture files from accidental modification through a simple git pre-commit hook.
Protected Files
.knowledge/dss-principles.json- Core design system principles.knowledge/dss-architecture.json- System architecture definition.clauderc- AI agent configuration
How It Works
- Git Hook: Pre-commit hook checks if any protected files are being modified
- AI Instructions: Claude is instructed in
.claudercto never modify these files - Manual Override: You can approve changes by setting an environment variable
Usage
Normal Development
All files except the 3 protected core files can be freely modified and committed.
Modifying Core Files
When you need to modify a protected file:
# Make your changes to the protected file
vim .knowledge/dss-principles.json
# Commit with explicit approval
ALLOW_CORE_CHANGES=true git commit -m "Update: core architecture change"
That's it! No complex workflows, no change requests, just one environment variable.
For AI Agents
If Claude needs to modify a protected file, it will:
- Ask you for explicit approval
- You respond confirming the change
- Claude makes the change
- You commit with
ALLOW_CORE_CHANGES=true
Installation
The git hook is automatically installed at .git/hooks/pre-commit.
To reinstall:
cp tools/immutability/pre_commit_hook.sh .git/hooks/pre-commit
chmod +x .git/hooks/pre-commit
Philosophy
Simple is better than complex. We protect the 3 files that define DSS identity, and trust human judgment for everything else.
