cortex-frontend-design

cortex-frontend-design is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from amitvijapur/cortex. It costs 33 tokens per session (517 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A frontend design library guide for finding visual references, planning interface work, and saving reusable design lessons across projects.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose design guidance, critique an existing interface, find books or implementation resources, select specialist workflows, and record discoveries.
Why use it?
It helps keep design decisions tied to a project's requirements, tokens, and constraints instead of relying on disconnected aesthetic suggestions.

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

cortex-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.

What it actually says

Cortex frontend library

This skill points to one maintained library in the Cortex checkout. Resolve this SKILL.md's real path when installed through a symlink; ../../frontend/README.md from its directory is the library entry point. Read that entry point first. If the checkout moved, report the broken link and use the project's own design brief until the dedicated installer is rerun from the new location.

For design work, inspect the project's brief, tokens and constraints before selecting library references. Project requirements take precedence over the library's aesthetic suggestions. Load only the relevant guidance:

Need Library file
New interface or visual direction guidance/PLAYBOOK.md, then the relevant prompt in guidance/PROMPT-PACK.md
Existing interface critique or hardening Relevant sections of guidance/CHECKLISTS.md
Find a reference, book or implementation resource resources.json; search title, purpose, tags and category
Choose specialist work guidance/SKILL-MAP.md
Capture a discovery or a lesson from a project README.md contribution instructions

The skill map records workflows that informed the original kit. Check the active session's skill catalogue before choosing one. A historical name or file on disk does not prove a tool is callable. Use available equivalents or the guidance directly; adding a resource does not install its tools.

Explain the relevance of the small set of references selected. Distinguish inspiration, documentation, and project-tested evidence. The dated legacy guide is an archival reading copy; maintained guidance and resources.json are authoritative. Verify current APIs with official documentation when implementing a dependency.

When asked to add a resource, update resources.json once, validate and rebuild the directory using the scripts documented in README.md. Record source, purpose, tags, and meaningful notes. Only mark a resource tested when there is concrete project evidence. At a project milestone, propose useful discoveries and lessons; do not silently turn them into universal design rules. Keep private screenshots, paid assets, client identities, and local file paths in the local companion folder.

Jaspr remains an optional reference if it comes up; do not install it or change a project's stack just because it appears in the library. Flutter and Dart can be catalogued with explicit platform tags when relevant to a project.

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.
