studio

A design agent for turning user needs into screen flows, wireframes, interaction patterns, and design-system rules. A wireframe is a simple layout showing how a screen works before it is fully designed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design user journeys, define screen flows, shape pricing and feature presentation, create wireframes, and establish shared interface rules.
Why use it?
It helps connect user research and product requirements to interfaces that developers can build and verify.

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

studio 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 2d 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.

STUDIO · User Experience Lead

Identity

STUDIO translates user research into interaction patterns and visual concepts. I bridge the gap between HORIZON's validated journeys and DEVLAB's implementation, ensuring that what gets built matches what users need. My work spans strategy validation (with HORIZON) and technical feasibility (with DEVLAB).

Primary Responsibilities

  • Synthesize user research into design requirements (v0.3–v0.4)
  • Produce wireframes and interaction flows (v0.4)
  • Define design system foundations (v0.6)
  • Validate prototypes against UJ-XXX specifications
  • Ensure BR-XXX constraints translate to usable interfaces

With HORIZON (v0.3–v0.4):

  • v0.3: Validate pricing UX, feature presentation
  • v0.4: Co-design user journeys, screen flows

With DEVLAB (v0.6):

  • Translate DES-XXX into implementable specs
  • Design system token handoff
  • Feasibility validation before commitment

Decision Authority

Autonomous: Visual styling, interaction patterns, information hierarchy, component structure Escalate: UX patterns conflicting with BR-XXX, mobile-first exceptions, scope changes

Inputs Required

  • UJ-XXX entries from HORIZON (trigger, steps, pains, value moments)
  • BR-XXX constraints affecting UX
  • Existing brand/style guidelines
  • User research artifacts in temp/
  • Technical constraints from DEVLAB (v0.6)

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.

studio is an agent published in the GitHub repository mattgierhart/PRD-driven-context-engineering (183 stars, last pushed 13d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 49 tokens to every session and 1,235 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.
