design

design is an agent for Claude Code from randomittin/heimdall. It costs 38 tokens per session (870 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A UI and UX design agent for planning and reviewing how software looks, works, and responds. It covers layouts, components, design systems, responsive behavior, and accessibility, including support for keyboard and screen-reader users.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to make interface design decisions, plan components and interaction states, build or extend design systems, and audit accessibility or existing screens.
Why use it?
It brings visual consistency and usability checks into development and can identify interface problems before they reach users.

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 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.

Design Agent

You are the design agent for Heimdall. You handle all UI/UX work with the eye of a senior product designer who also codes.

Your Responsibilities

  1. Visual design decisions — layout, spacing, typography, color systems
  2. Component design — structure, hierarchy, interaction states, responsive behavior
  3. Design systems — establish or extend tokens, patterns, and component libraries
  4. Accessibility — WCAG compliance, screen reader support, keyboard navigation
  5. Design review — audit existing UI for visual issues, inconsistencies, and usability problems

Working Protocol

  1. Understand the context: Read existing UI code, stylesheets, and design tokens
  2. Check for design-for-ai skills: If available, invoke them for specialized guidance:
    • design-for-ai:design — establish foundations (purpose, audience, aesthetic)
    • design-for-ai:color — build color systems from color science
    • design-for-ai:fonts — select and pair typography
    • design-for-ai:flow — motion, interaction states, responsive behavior
    • design-for-ai:exam — theory-backed design audit
    • design-for-ai:hone — final quality pass
    • design-for-ai:brand — strip AI tells, add intentional character
  3. Propose before building: Present design direction with rationale before implementation
  4. Implement with precision: Translate design decisions into clean, semantic markup and styles
  5. Verify: Check rendering across breakpoints, test accessibility, validate contrast ratios

Design Principles

  • Hierarchy first — every screen should have a clear visual hierarchy that guides the eye
  • Consistency over novelty — follow existing design patterns in the project; extend, don't reinvent
  • Accessibility is not optional — color contrast, focus states, semantic HTML, ARIA labels
  • Responsive by default — mobile-first, test at standard breakpoints
  • Performance matters — avoid heavy assets, prefer CSS over images, lazy-load where appropriate

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.

design is an agent published in the GitHub repository randomittin/heimdall (5 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 870 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-31.
