frontend-design

frontend-design is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aegntic/compound-engineering. It costs 48 tokens per session (1,520 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A design guide for building polished web pages, components, and applications with a clear visual style.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating frontend code and deciding the page’s visual direction, layout, tone, accessibility, and technical constraints.
Why use it?
It helps avoid ordinary-looking interfaces by making design choices deliberate before code is written.

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

frontend-design 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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 116 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

This skill guides creation of distinctive, production-grade frontend interfaces that avoid generic "AI slop" aesthetics. Implement real working code with exceptional attention to aesthetic details and creative choices.

The user provides frontend requirements: a component, page, application, or interface to build. They may include context about the purpose, audience, or technical constraints.

Design Thinking

Before coding, understand the context and commit to a BOLD aesthetic direction:

  • Purpose: What problem does this interface solve? Who uses it?
  • Tone: Pick an extreme: brutally minimal, maximalist chaos, retro-futuristic, organic/natural, luxury/refined, playful/toy-like, editorial/magazine, brutalist/raw, art deco/geometric, soft/pastel, industrial/utilitarian, etc. There are so many flavors to choose from. Use these for inspiration but design one that is true to the aesthetic direction.
  • Constraints: Technical requirements (framework, performance, accessibility).
  • Differentiation: What makes this UNFORGETTABLE? What's the one thing someone will remember?

CRITICAL: Choose a clear conceptual direction and execute it with precision. Bold maximalism and refined minimalism both work -- the key is intentionality, not intensity.

Framework-Specific Patterns

Adapt to the project's framework. Detect and follow existing conventions:

React / Next.js:

  • Functional components with hooks
  • CSS Modules, Tailwind CSS, or styled-components (match project convention)
  • Use motion (Framer Motion) for animations when available
  • Component composition over inheritance

Vue 3 / Nuxt 3:

  • Composition API with <script setup>
  • Scoped styles with <style scoped>
  • Composables for shared logic
  • defineProps / defineEmits for component contracts

Angular:

  • Standalone components (Angular 17+)
  • Signal-based reactivity where supported
  • OnPush change detection strategy
  • Angular CDK for accessible primitives

Svelte / SvelteKit:

  • Reactive declarations with $:
  • Svelte transitions and animations
  • Component slots for composition

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.

frontend-design is a skill published in the GitHub repository aegntic/compound-engineering (2 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 48 tokens to every session and 1,520 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-31.
