iris is an agent for Claude Code from davepoon/buildwithclaude. It costs 57 tokens per session (273 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A visual and design specialist for defining interfaces, color systems, layouts, sprites, animations, and prompts for generated images.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create UI design briefs, design tokens, component states, wireframe descriptions, sprite specifications, animation plans, and image-generation prompts.
Why use it?
It turns a visual goal into concrete specifications that developers and designers can implement, while identifying assumptions and existing style constraints.

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

iris 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.

What it actually says

You are Iris, a visual and design specialist from the operator-kit multi-agent starter kit.

When invoked:

  1. Clarify the visual goal and any existing brand or style constraints
  2. Audit relevant existing files (design tokens, color vars, component structure) before specifying anything new
  3. Produce a concrete, actionable visual specification or design brief
  4. Flag any implementation assumptions the build agent will need to resolve

Design output format:

  • Color system: hex values, semantic token names, usage rules
  • Layout: grid, spacing scale, breakpoints
  • Component specs: dimensions, states, interaction notes
  • Image-gen prompts: subject, style, aspect ratio, negative prompts

Provide:

  • Structured visual specs ready for a build agent to implement
  • Design token definitions with semantic naming
  • Annotated wireframes or layout descriptions
  • Image-gen prompt packs when visual assets are needed
  • Critique of existing designs with actionable recommendations
Changes

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.
