design-aesthetic-presets

design-aesthetic-presets is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aiatelie/ai-atelie. It costs 45 tokens per session (2,406 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of eleven visual style directions for web interfaces, each with guidance on fonts, colors, layout, and animation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a brief asks for a distinctive frontend but does not specify the style. It helps choose and consistently apply one look in the code.
Why use it?
It helps avoid websites that all look like the same generic AI-made design by making you choose a clear visual direction before coding.

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-aesthetic-presets 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 12d 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.

Aesthetic presets

A menu of eleven named aesthetic directions, each with concrete CSS hooks, font roles, and motion vocabulary. Use this skill when the user asks for "something distinctive" without naming the direction, or when frontend-design fired and you need to pin down which direction to execute.

How to use

  1. Pick one preset that fits the brief. State the choice in one sentence to the user before writing code. ("Going with brutalist — heavy black borders, cold neutrals, monospace display.")
  2. Don't blend. Two presets at once dilutes both. If the brief seems to mix, ask which dominant.
  3. Execute the recipe. Each preset below names the type vocabulary, palette spine, motion register, and detail moves. Apply them — don't shop around.
  4. Add one signature. The list gives you the floor; pick one detail (a custom cursor, a specific micro-interaction, an unexpected proportion) that's yours.

The presets

1. Swiss / Bauhaus minimalism

  • Essence. Grid-true, asymmetric, type-led. Information hierarchy via size and space, not decoration.
  • Type. Display: Helvetica Now Display, Neue Haas Grotesk, Inter Tight (only here, in display weight, with deliberate negative tracking). Body: Helvetica, Neue Haas, system grotesk.
  • Palette spine. Single accent color (red is canonical, any saturated primary works) on #fafafa or #f5f5f5. Black and a single grey.
  • Motion. None or near-none. Hovers shift opacity 4-8% only. No transitions on layout.
  • Detail moves. Heavy diagonal grid lines, oversized numerals, type that bleeds off the edge, footnote-sized eyebrow labels.

2. Neumorphism (use sparingly — easy to ship as slop)

  • Essence. Soft, plastic, embossed. Two opposing shadows (light + dark) on the same monochrome surface.
  • Type. SF Pro, Inter, or any rounded grotesque. Mid-weight only — bold reads wrong.
  • Palette spine. Single hue at low saturation as the surface; no contrast against bg. Add ONE bright accent for primary action.
  • Motion. Press states are required — invert the shadow direction on click.
  • Detail moves. All radii ≥ 16px. No hard borders ever. Cards are always elevated or inset, never flat.
  • Failure mode. Overuse — every component as a neumorphic card looks like the default tutorial. Use neumorphism for primary CTAs only; flat for the rest.

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.
