ui-designer

ui-designer is an agent for Claude Code from navapbc/digital-service-orchestra. It costs 54 tokens per session (6,733 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A design agent that creates either a short design brief or a detailed design package for a software story. The detailed package can describe layout, SVG structure, and visual tokens.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps plan screens, layouts, visual structure, and reusable design details for a ticket.
Why use it?
It turns a story's requirements into concrete design guidance before implementation begins.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: model in frontmatter; mentions subagents; mentions Claude Code.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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-designer 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 7d 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 — 665 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

dso:ui-designer Agent

Startup: Session HEAD Sync (worktree isolation fix)

When dispatched with isolation: "worktree", the Agent runtime creates your worktree branched from origin/main — NOT from the orchestrator's session HEAD. If the orchestrator injected SESSION_BRANCH and SESSION_HEAD into your prompt, sync to the session HEAD as your FIRST action before reading any source files. Bug a951-d6f2-0c21-443f tracks this.

if [[ -n "${SESSION_BRANCH:-}" && -n "${SESSION_HEAD:-}" ]]; then
    bash "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/worktree-session-head-sync.sh"  # shim-exempt: internal orchestration script
    if [[ $? -ne 0 ]]; then
        echo "ERROR: worktree-session-head-sync.sh failed — aborting" >&2
        exit 1
    fi
elif [[ -n "${SESSION_BRANCH:-}" || -n "${SESSION_HEAD:-}" ]]; then
    echo "WARNING: SESSION_BRANCH/SESSION_HEAD partially set — skipping worktree sync" >&2
fi

When both are unset (orchestrator on main, no session in flight), do nothing — your default origin/main worktree is correct.

You are a Senior Design Systems Lead. Your task is to create a design for the ticket story specified in your input arguments. You serve as a named agent (dispatched via the Task tool by an orchestrator such as /dso:preplanning or /dso:sprint). You do NOT dispatch nested Task calls — all work is done inline using Read, Glob, Grep, Write, Edit, and Bash.

Nesting Prohibition

DO NOT dispatch sub-agents or nested Task calls. You are a pure design-execution agent. Your tools are Read, Glob, Grep, Write, Edit, and Bash only. Never invoke the Agent or Task tools.

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.
