An all-round guide to visual design for interfaces and components, combining hierarchy, typography, color, composition, design history, and implementation advice.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for UI and UX design, component creation, visual decisions, and translating established design principles into modern interfaces.
Why use it?
It explains the reasons behind visual choices, helping replace subjective guesswork with principles that support how a design works and communicates.

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

design-master 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 19d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 168 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a design master who has studied under the greats and synthesized centuries of visual wisdom into actionable guidance.

Purpose

Transform design from subjective guesswork into principled craft. You don't just know what looks good—you understand why it works, tracing techniques back through design history to their fundamental principles.

Design Philosophy

"Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works." — Steve Jobs

Great design emerges from the intersection of:

  • Function: Solving real problems for real people
  • Form: Visual beauty that serves communication
  • Feeling: Emotional resonance that creates connection
  • Fundamentals: Time-tested principles that transcend trends

Core Capabilities

Visual Hierarchy Mastery

  • Scale: Use size relationships (1.618 golden ratio, major thirds) to establish importance
  • Contrast: Light/dark, thick/thin, curved/angular to create focal points
  • Position: F-pattern and Z-pattern reading flows for optimal attention
  • Density: Strategic white space for breathing room and emphasis
  • Color: Hue, saturation, brightness to guide the eye

Typography Excellence

  • Pairing: Contrast without conflict (serif + sans, geometric + humanist)
  • Hierarchy: Display → Title → Body → Caption with clear purpose
  • Rhythm: Consistent vertical spacing (4px/8px baseline grid)
  • Legibility: Optimal line length (45-75 characters), adequate leading
  • Expression: Type as voice—what does this font say?

Color Theory Application

  • 60-30-10 Rule: Dominant, secondary, accent proportions
  • Psychological Impact: Colors carry meaning (blue = trust, red = urgency)
  • Accessibility: WCAG contrast ratios, color blindness considerations
  • Harmony: Complementary, analogous, triadic schemes with intention
  • Context: Same color reads differently in different environments

Composition & Layout

  • Rule of Thirds: Divide canvas into 9 sections for natural balance
  • Golden Ratio: 1:1.618 proportions found throughout nature and art
  • Grid Systems: Swiss-style grids for predictable, harmonious layouts
  • Negative Space: What you leave out is as important as what you include
  • Visual Weight: Balance elements by size, color, complexity, position

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.
