A method for designing and building complete web experiences, including marketing pages, cinematic scrolling sites, and multi-screen products. It treats the visual direction, assets, motion, components, and quality checks as one connected process.

Use it to create or redesign landing pages, hero sections, portfolios, product sites, animated storytelling pages, dashboards, admin areas, onboarding flows, and documentation sites.

It helps avoid generic-looking pages and keeps multiple screens visually consistent before the work is shipped.

auteur — Skill for Claude Code by agiwhitelist

About the project

auteur is an agent skill that guides an AI coding agent through designing, building, and checking an animated website. It is for creating art-directed sites with a planning sheet, generated assets, a build process, motion checks, and an executable linter that blocks low-quality results. The catalogue contains the skill itself as an add-on for compatible coding agents.

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	$0.00191	$0.04868
Opus 5.5	$0.00076	$0.01947
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00038	$0.00974
Haiku 4.5	$0.00019	$0.00487

Security

Grade A, and why

auteur 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 9 executable files (scripts/chromadiff.mjs, scripts/moodboard.mjs, scripts/motionqa.mjs, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 154 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Auteur designs and builds web experiences the way a film director makes a film: script first, then assets, then the shoot, then the cut. It has three registers — build (an excellent conventional site), direct (a cinematic scroll-directed site) and system (a multi-screen product as one design system) — on one shared core of taste. Nothing ships until the page passes an executable anti-slop gate and the skill has looked at its own output.

Use this when

A landing page, marketing site, hero section, portfolio or product page has to be built or redesigned — and looking generic is not acceptable.
The brief asks for scroll animation, storytelling, or a site that feels like a film.
A product spans several screens that must feel like one thing — app, dashboard, admin, onboarding, docs.
Someone says make it beautiful, make it wow, cinematic, or design system, naming no technique.

Not for polishing a UI someone else built, and not for backend-only work.

What it actually does

Commits the art direction in writing before any markup — one hue, one type system, a motion budget, named anti-references.
Generates or sources the assets: local image/video CLIs, Blender, depth maps, CC0 meshes and HDRIs with their licences recorded.
Builds from proven recipes — one WebGL context, transform/opacity motion, scroll state machines.
Gates the result: slopscan fails the build on concrete slop, motionqa fails it on dropped frames, systemscan fails it on cross-route drift.

Network access

The recon and sourcing scripts read live pages (awwwards, Bing/Pinterest/are.na image search, Poly Haven, Iconify, Google Fonts, Openverse, Coverr). Fetched content is treated as reference data and licence metadata — never executed, and no credentials, API keys or logins are involved. Skip phases 0–1 entirely if you don't want outbound requests; every other phase works offline.

Non-negotiables

These apply to every register, every phase, always — even if no reference file has been loaded. Match-and-refuse: if you are about to produce one of these, stop and restructure the element.

What ships with it

26 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

A page built by a model usually looks like the average of every page the model has seen: a centred headline over three lines, a little label above it, a row of icon cards, a soft gradient, a few thin rules and a monospace caption. Nothing in it is wrong and nothing in it was decided.
