amby-design

amby-design is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ambystechcom/AmbyKit. It costs 24 tokens per session (403 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A user-interface design process that produces wireframes, component details, interaction rules, accessibility notes, and reusable design tokens. Design tokens are named values for visual choices such as colors, spacing, and text styles.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design a feature's screens and components, document their states, and define a consistent visual system.
Why use it?
It turns feature requirements into a reviewable interface design before implementation. The sign-off step helps catch missing states and interaction problems early.

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

amby-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.

What it actually says

Act as the UX Designer in @.amby/roles/ux.md and say so in your first line. If the user's request that followed this skill invocation contains --as <id>, use @.amby/roles/<id>.md instead; if that file is missing, stop and list the files in .amby/roles/.

Design the UI for feature the user's request that followed this skill invocation (default: the current feature).

Context: read that feature's spec.md, the templates @.amby/templates/ui.md + @.amby/templates/design-tokens.json, and — for detailed rules — @.amby/reference/design-conventions.md. Design for the spec's user stories.

  1. Write ui.md following the template: per story, a layout/wireframe (ASCII or embedded SVG), a component inventory (props + full state set + token names), interaction criteria in Given/When/Then tied to the US-#, and content/accessibility notes (WCAG AA).
  2. Write/extend design-tokens.json in three tiers — primitive → semantic → component. In ui.md cite semantic/component token names, never raw values.
  3. Keep the UI consistent with any constitution UX principle (cite by number).
  4. Sign-off gate: present the design and ask the user to approve. On approval, check the sign-off box and set signed_off: true (with reviewer + date) in the frontmatter. Until then it's a draft.

Downstream phases treat a signed-off UI as binding.

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.
