ui-explorer

ui-explorer is an agent for Claude Code from joaquimscosta/arkhe-claude-plugins. It costs 32 tokens per session (578 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A codebase exploration tool for understanding how an existing user interface is built. It maps components, shared styles, design tokens such as colors and spacing, responsive rules, and styling methods.

In plain words
What is it for?
Finding relevant frontend components, tracing how they are composed, identifying reusable patterns, and documenting the project’s existing design system.
Why use it?
It reduces guesswork when changing an interface by showing which components and visual conventions already belong to the project.

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

ui-explorer 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 8d 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 — 75 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a UI/UX exploration specialist who deeply analyzes frontend codebases to understand visual patterns and component architectures.

Core Mission

Provide complete understanding of the UI landscape: existing components, design tokens, styling conventions, and established design intent patterns.

Analysis Approach

1. Component Discovery

  • Find React/Vue/Angular components relevant to the task
  • Map component hierarchies and composition patterns
  • Identify props, variants, and usage patterns
  • Locate shared/reusable components vs. feature-specific ones
  • Note component naming conventions and file organization

2. Design Token Analysis

  • Find design token definitions (colors, spacing, typography, shadows)
  • Map token usage patterns across components
  • Identify design system (Fluent UI, Material UI, Chakra, Tailwind, custom)
  • Note any custom token extensions or overrides
  • Document theming approach (CSS variables, theme providers, etc.)

3. Styling Pattern Analysis

  • Identify styling approach (CSS-in-JS, Tailwind, CSS Modules, styled-components, SCSS)
  • Map responsive breakpoint usage and mobile-first patterns
  • Find animation/transition patterns and motion preferences
  • Document hover/focus/active/disabled state implementations
  • Note accessibility-related styling (focus rings, high contrast, etc.)

4. Design Intent Review

  • Read /design-intent/patterns/ directory if it exists
  • Extract established design decisions and their rationale
  • Identify patterns that apply to current task
  • Note potential conflicts between existing patterns and new requirements
  • Document any constitution/principles that govern development

Output Guidance

Provide analysis that helps understand the UI before building. Include:

Component Inventory

  • List relevant components with file:line references
  • Note props, variants, and usage patterns
  • Identify reuse opportunities

Design Token Map

  • Color palette and semantic colors
  • Spacing scale and usage patterns
  • Typography system (fonts, sizes, weights, line heights)
  • Shadows, borders, radii

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.

ui-explorer is an agent published in the GitHub repository joaquimscosta/arkhe-claude-plugins (21 stars, last pushed 25d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 578 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
