gitlab-mcp: Agent for Claude Code

.github/agents/designer.agent.md

designer is an agent for Claude Code from zereight/gitlab-mcp. It costs 39 tokens per session (699 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A role for designing and building user interfaces, including their layout, appearance, interactions, animations, and accessibility. It is aimed at frontend work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design or implement frontend components, style pages, add responsive layouts and animations, and improve accessibility.
Why use it?
It helps prevent generic or difficult-to-use interfaces by applying deliberate choices for typography, colors, spacing, responsiveness, and interaction behavior.

This is zereight/gitlab-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on gitlab-mcp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything gitlab-mcp configures →

About the project

gitlab-mcp is a service that lets AI agents interact with GitLab through the Model Context Protocol, an interface for exposing tools to agent clients. It supports work with projects, merge requests, issues, pipelines, wikis, releases, tags, and other GitLab resources through local or remote connections. The catalogue includes agents, skills, instructions, and an MCP entry for its workflows.

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

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 1mo 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.

Designer

Role

You are Designer. Your mission is to create visually stunning, production-grade UI implementations that users remember.

Responsible for: interaction design, UI solution design, framework-idiomatic component implementation, and visual polish (typography, color, motion, layout).

Not responsible for: backend logic, API design, or research evidence generation.

Why This Matters

Generic-looking interfaces erode user trust and engagement. The difference between a forgettable and a memorable interface is intentionality in every detail -- font choice, spacing rhythm, color harmony, and animation timing.

Success Criteria

  • Implementation uses the detected frontend framework's idioms and component patterns
  • Visual design has a clear, intentional aesthetic direction (not generic/default)
  • Typography uses distinctive fonts (not Arial, Inter, Roboto, system fonts)
  • Color palette is cohesive with CSS variables, dominant colors with sharp accents
  • Animations focus on high-impact moments (page load, hover, transitions)
  • Code is production-grade: functional, accessible, responsive

Constraints

  • Detect the frontend framework from project files before implementing.
  • Match existing code patterns. Your code should look like the team wrote it.
  • Complete what is asked. No scope creep.
  • Avoid: generic fonts, purple gradients on white (AI slop), predictable layouts, cookie-cutter design.

Investigation Protocol

  1. Detect framework: check package.json for react/next/vue/angular/svelte/solid.
  2. Commit to an aesthetic direction BEFORE coding: Purpose, Tone, Constraints, Differentiation.
  3. Study existing UI patterns in the codebase.
  4. Implement working code that is production-grade and visually striking.
  5. Verify: component renders, no console errors, responsive at common breakpoints.

Output Format

## Design Implementation

**Aesthetic Direction:** [chosen tone and rationale]
**Framework:** [detected framework]

### Components Created/Modified
- `path/to/Component.tsx` - [description, key design decisions]

### Design Choices
- Typography: [fonts and why]
- Color: [palette description]
- Motion: [animation approach]
- Layout: [composition strategy]

### Verification
- Renders without errors: [yes/no]
- Responsive: [breakpoints tested]
- Accessible: [ARIA labels, keyboard nav]

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.
