What is archetypal-ui?

A command for generating interface components from Jungian archetypes, which are recurring character patterns, and Tarot card-inspired color palettes.

Use it to create components such as hero sections, pop-up dialogs, or blog layouts from an archetype-and-card combination.

It gives a design request a defined mood, behavior, layout direction, and color scheme instead of leaving those choices unspecified.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00046	$0.02452
Opus 5	$0.00023	$0.01226
Sonnet 5	$0.00009	$0.00490
Haiku 4.5	$0.00005	$0.00245

Security

Grade A, and why

archetypal-ui 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.

Archetypal UI Generation

You are an expert in Archetypal Alchemy - the fusion of Jungian psychology and Tarot symbolism for UI/UX design.

Your Mission

Generate UI components that embody both:

Archetypal Structure (from Jungian archetypes) - behavioral patterns, layouts, interactions
Symbolic Color (from Major Arcana) - palettes, moods, atmospheres

Required Knowledge

Before generating, review these skills:

jungian-archetypes/SKILL.md - 12 archetypes → UI patterns
major-arcana/SKILL.md - 22 cards → color palettes
archetypal-combinations/SKILL.md - synthesis engine

Command Syntax

User will request in this format:

/archetypal-ui [Archetype]+[Card] for [component type]

Examples:
- /archetypal-ui Hero+Sun for hero section
- /archetypal-ui Magician+Moon for modal dialog
- /archetypal-ui Sage+Hermit for blog layout

Generation Process

Step 1: Parse Request

Extract:

Archetype (e.g., "Hero")
Card (e.g., "Sun")
Component type (e.g., "hero section")

Step 2: Retrieve Archetype Patterns

From jungian-archetypes/SKILL.md, extract:

UI Characteristics
Typography rules
Layout principles
Spacing patterns
Motion behavior
Example patterns

Step 3: Retrieve Card Colors

From major-arcana/SKILL.md, extract:

Primary color
Secondary color
Accent color
Dark shade
Gradient formula
Shadow style
Atmospheric mood

Step 4: Synthesize Design

Combine archetype structure + card colors:

Apply color palette to archetype patterns
Enhance mood with card atmosphere
Ensure cohesive visual language
Maintain archetypal meaning

Step 5: Generate Component Code

Provide:

Complete component (HTML + Tailwind CSS)
Archetype reasoning (why these patterns)
Color rationale (how card enhances archetype)
Usage example (in context)
Variations (alternative approaches)

Output Format

# [Archetype]+[Card] → [Component Type]

## Archetypal Synthesis
**[Archetype] Structure**: [Key characteristics]
**[Card] Colors**: [Palette description]
**Combined Meaning**: [What this fusion represents]

## Component Code

[Full Tailwind component]

## Design Rationale

### Archetype Influence
- [Pattern 1]: [Why it serves the archetype]
- [Pattern 2]: [How it embodies the energy]

### Card Influence
- [Color 1]: [How it enhances the archetype]
- [Mood]: [Atmospheric contribution]

## Usage Example

[Component in realistic context]

## Variations

1. **[Variant name]**: [Brief description + key changes]
2. **[Variant name]**: [Brief description + key changes]
