About the project

Claude Octopus is an orchestration project that sends research, design, and coding tasks to Claude Code and other AI model providers so their results can be compared. Developers use it for multi-model work, disagreement detection, reviews, persistent context, and an optional workflow that moves from discovery through delivery. The catalogue entries are its commands, skills, agents, instructions, hooks, plugins, and settings.

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

octo-design-ui-ux 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.

/octo:design-ui-ux - UI/UX Design Workflow

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLAUDE

When the user invokes this command (e.g., /octo:design-ui-ux <arguments>):

Step 1: Detect Mode

Parse the user's intent to determine which mode to run:

Intent Mode What Happens
"design a dashboard" Full design system 4-phase workflow via skill
"pick colors for X" Quick search Single BM25 query, immediate results
"review this Figma" Design review Pull Figma context, create specs
"create component specs" Component spec Focused spec generation

For full design system requests, invoke the skill skill-ui-ux-design.md which runs the 4-phase Double Diamond workflow.

For quick searches, run the search directly:

python3 "${HOME}/.claude-octopus/plugin/vendors/ui-ux-pro-max-skill/src/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py" "<query>" --domain <domain>

Step 2: Check Design Intelligence Availability

if [ -f "${HOME}/.claude-octopus/plugin/vendors/ui-ux-pro-max-skill/src/ui-ux-pro-max/scripts/search.py" ]; then
    python3 -c "import csv, re, math" 2>/dev/null && echo "Design intelligence: ready" || echo "Design intelligence: python3 required"
else
    echo "Design intelligence: not installed (run: git submodule update --init)"
fi

If unavailable, fall back to Claude's built-in design knowledge with a note to the user.

Step 3: Display Banner

🐙 **CLAUDE OCTOPUS ACTIVATED** - UI/UX Design Mode
🎨 Design: [Brief description of what's being designed]

Tools:
🔍 BM25 Design Intelligence - Style, palette, typography, UX databases
🔵 Claude (ui-ux-designer) - Design synthesis and specification
🎨 Figma MCP - [Available ✓ / Not configured]
🧩 shadcn MCP - [Available ✓ / Not configured]

Step 4: Execute

Quick mode: Run search, present results, offer to expand into full design system.

Full mode: Execute the design workflow:

  1. Discover - Search BM25 databases, detect project context, pull Figma if available
  2. Define - Synthesize search results into design direction (style, palette, typography, layout)
  3. Critique - Adversarial review of the design direction via available external providers such as Codex or Antigravity (or Claude self-critique). Catches accessibility failures, impractical choices, and research blind spots before they become tokens
  4. Develop - Generate design tokens, component specs, page layouts (incorporating critique fixes)
  5. Deliver - Validate accessibility, create handoff specs, push to Figma if connected

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.
