ui-design-system

A set of rules for building the project's user interface, including its design tokens, reusable components, and phone-first layout approach. Design tokens are named values for things such as colors and spacing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating or changing UI components, forms, tables, colors, responsive layouts, touch controls, or shared visual patterns in the project.
Why use it?
It keeps new screens consistent with the existing design system and usable on small touch screens. It also prevents one-off styling and business logic from spreading through the interface code.

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.

Per session 0 Nothing until a file matches its globs; then the whole rule loads.
When invoked 474 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

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

ui-design-system 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

UI

Source of truth: DESIGN.md. Theme tokens: src/app/globals.css.

Before writing UI

  1. Reuse src/components/ui/*. Extend with a CVA variant / size rather than a one-off className.
  2. Reuse the shell: ContentPanel, SurfaceSection, FormSheet, FormField.
  3. No business rules in React.

Mobile-first

Base styles target a phone (< 640px); enrich upward with sm: / md: / lg:. Designing for desktop and patching with max-md: is the wrong direction.

  • Tables: only identity + the primary value in the base layout; everything else hidden sm:table-cell.
  • Forms: one column at base; grids from sm:.
  • Primary controls at least ~40px tall on touch.

Colour

Semantic classes only: bg-background, bg-card, text-foreground, text-muted-foreground, bg-primary, border-border, ring-ring, sidebar-*, and the accent tokens (info, success, warning, destructive).

Forbidden in product UI: hex, raw rgb(), and Tailwind colour scales (bg-zinc-50, text-blue-600). A new colour is a token in :root / .dark plus an entry in @theme inline — never an inline value.

Repetition

If a style combination appears three times, it becomes a CVA variant or a component. Two is a coincidence; three is a pattern.

States and motion

Every interactive element needs hover, focus-visible, disabled and loading. Every list needs an empty state and an error state. Animate only transform and opacity, under 300ms, and respect prefers-reduced-motion.

A new destination goes in src/components/app-shell/nav-config.ts. A link added directly in a component never gets prefetched and never gets a title.

Changes

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.

ui-design-system is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository krivoox/agent-stack-template (31 stars, last pushed 12d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 474 tokens. 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.
