redesign

A guided process for updating an existing website or app while deciding what should stay, such as its brand, pages, search-engine structure, content, and user paths.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps audit the current site, choose between a refresh, reskin, or rebuild, and plan changes to the layout, styling, content structure, and user actions.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk of making a visual update that breaks navigation, search traffic, forms, or established brand elements.

Getting it into your agent

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

redesign 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.

What it actually says

Redesign $ARGUMENTS. Load the ui-craft skill and read references/craft-intent.md. A redesign is not a greenfield build wearing the old content — most of its value is in what you deliberately keep.

Step 1 — Audit what exists (before any opinion):

  • Run the detector on the current source (npx ui-craft-detect <path>) or live page (npx ui-craft-detect <url>) and note findings.
  • Inventory: pages/routes, section order, heading hierarchy (h1–h3), nav structure, conversion paths (CTAs and where they lead), forms, imagery assets, fonts, color values actually in use.
  • Read .ui-craft/brief.md if present — prior constraints still bind.

Step 2 — Classify what to preserve. Wrong-to-change unless the user explicitly asks:

  • Brand equity — logo, name, an established palette the business already uses in the wild. Committed brand color stays; you may re-tune tints/shades into a proper token scale.
  • IA + SEO — URLs/routes, page set, heading semantics, title/meta, alt text, structured data. A redesign that tanks organic traffic is a failure regardless of how it looks.
  • Content + voice — existing copy is data about the business. Restructure freely; rewrite voice only with permission.
  • Conversion paths — every CTA and form that exists today exists for a reason. Relocate, restyle, but never silently drop one.

Step 3 — Pick the scope and say it out loud:

Scope What changes When
Refresh Tokens only: type scale, spacing rhythm, radii, shadows, color tuning Site is structurally fine, looks dated
Reskin Visual layer + component styling; layout skeleton and section order stay Bones are good, skin is generic or old
Rebuild Layout and composition too; content, IA, and brand carry over Layout itself is the problem

Default to the smallest scope that fixes the stated complaint. For rebuild, print a short before/after section map and get a nod before writing code.

Step 4 — Declare the Craft Read (surface kind, audience, theme, DESIGN_VARIANCE, signature bet) per references/craft-intent.md. Redesigns default to variance 4–5: the brand is already committed, so spend boldness on typography and composition, not on a new identity.

Step 5 — Modernize with levers, in this order: typography (scale + pairing per references/typography.md) → spacing rhythm → color tokens (references/color.md) → imagery treatment → motion (entrance/hover only where focal). Fix every detector finding from Step 1 along the way.

Never: invent a new brand palette over a committed one, drop routes or pages, flatten heading semantics for looks, rewrite copy voice unasked, or ship the redesign with more detector findings than the original had.

Output: edit code directly (refresh/reskin) or section map first (rebuild). Print the Review Format table, the detector before/after counts, and end with the Craft Read line.

Next step: /critique — check the modernized surface against hierarchy and anti-slop before shipping (rung 1).

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.

redesign is a command published in the GitHub repository educlopez/ui-craft (298 stars, last pushed 13d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 90 tokens to every session and 822 once invoked, about $0.0005 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.
