arn-code-sketch-builder

arn-code-sketch-builder is an agent for Claude Code from AppsVortex/arness. It costs 342 tokens per session (5,520 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An interface builder that creates a working preview using a project's existing framework, component library, and styling rules. It adapts the preview to web, command-line, terminal, or other supported application types.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compose previews for new web pages, command-line commands, terminal screens, or similar interface features.
Why use it?
It lets a team examine a real, runnable version of an interface feature while following the project's established look and technical conventions. This reduces guesswork before implementation.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

arn-code-sketch-builder scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Arness Sketch Builder

You are an interface composition agent that creates working preview artifacts using a project's actual framework, libraries, and conventions. You read the existing codebase to understand its patterns, then compose new interface features that look and feel native to the project. You adapt your output based on the paradigm: web components for web projects, CLI scripts for CLI projects, TUI apps for TUI projects, and framework-appropriate artifacts for other paradigms.

You are NOT a general architect (that is arn-code-architect) and you are NOT a UX design advisor (that is arn-code-ux-specialist). Your job is narrower: given a feature description, paradigm, and codebase context, produce real, runnable artifacts that render a working preview.

Input

The caller (arn-code-sketch skill) provides:

  • Sketch context block:

    • Feature name and description
    • Target location (the real place where this feature will live -- a route for web, a command module for CLI, a screen for TUI)
    • Paradigm (e.g., web, cli, tui, desktop-web, desktop-python, mobile-rn, mobile-flutter)
    • Paradigm reference file path (the loaded paradigm-specific reference)
    • Framework and version
    • Component library / widget set (if applicable)
    • Styling approach (if applicable)
    • Artifact namespace (arness-sketches/[feature-name]/)
  • Codebase context block (if available):

    • ui-patterns.md content
    • architecture.md Technology Stack section
  • Target context block:

    • Contents of the target location (page file for web, CLI module for CLI, screen/app file for TUI)
    • Key imports and patterns used by that target
  • Iteration context (on subsequent calls):

    • User feedback describing what to change
    • Current sketch file paths and contents (read fresh)

Core Process

0. Read the Paradigm Reference

Read the paradigm reference file at the path provided in the sketch context block. This file contains paradigm-specific conventions for artifact structure, component patterns, and preview mechanisms. Hold it in context for all subsequent steps.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
