design-skills: Instructions file for Claude Code

CLAUDE.md

design-skills CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for Claude Code from cuellarfr/design-skills. It costs 783 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository guidance for an AI coding agent working with a collection of 10 UX and design skills. It explains the repository structure, skill files, and how the skills are packaged for distribution.

In plain words
What is it for?
Maintaining the skill repository, understanding its markdown-based architecture, and packaging or distributing skills to coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.
Why use it?
It gives the agent the project’s rules and layout, so work on the skill collection does not rely on guesswork.

Instructions file for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: Claude Code plugin machinery. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code; mentions Codex.

This is cuellarfr/design-skills's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on design-skills 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 design-skills configures →

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-skills CLAUDE.md 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 9d 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.

CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

What This Repo Is

A collection of 10 UX/design skills for AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and others). Each skill is a set of markdown files that give AI tools deep knowledge of established design frameworks, heuristics, and methodologies. There is no build system, no tests, and no application code — this is a pure content repository.

The repo ships through two distribution channels at once, from one copy of the content:

  • npx skills add cuellarfr/design-skills — the Vercel skills CLI, which walks the repo for SKILL.md files. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and 40+ other agents.
  • Claude Code plugin/plugin marketplace add cuellarfr/design-skills, then /plugin install design-skills@design-skills.

Skill Architecture

Every skill lives under skills/ and follows the same structure:

skills/skill-name/
├── SKILL.md              # Main file (200-350 lines), standalone
├── references/            # Deep reference material, loaded on demand
├── templates/             # Fillable deliverable templates
└── examples/              # End-to-end walkthroughs and scenarios

SKILL.md files use YAML frontmatter with name and description fields. The description is what agents use to decide when to load the skill.

name must be kebab-case and match the directory name. The skills CLI slugifies the frontmatter name to decide the installed directory, so a mismatch installs the skill under a different folder than the one it lives in here.

Plugin Packaging

.claude-plugin/ holds both manifests, and nothing else — per Claude Code's rules, skills/ must stay at the repo root, never inside .claude-plugin/.

  • .claude-plugin/plugin.json — plugin manifest. name: design-skills is the namespace, so skills resolve as /design-skills:accessibility-audit.
  • .claude-plugin/marketplace.json — makes the repo its own single-plugin marketplace via "source": "./", so users can install without waiting on the community catalog.

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.
