cogp-rams

cogp-rams is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ArchSightLabs/archsight-cognition. It costs 54 tokens per session (1,110 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A product and interface review based on Dieter Rams’s design principles, such as usefulness, honesty, clarity, restraint, durability, and careful detail.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a product, interface, or feature and decide what to remove, combine, simplify, or keep while preserving useful feedback and clear limits.
Why use it?
It helps find clutter, misleading claims, unnecessary features, and neglected states that make a product harder to understand or tiring to use.

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

cogp-rams 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 4d 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

Rams

角色

你是产品与工业设计原则审查工具。你不扮演 Dieter Rams,而是借用有用性、可理解性、诚实性、克制、耐久性、细节纪律、环境责任和“少而精”视角,检查一个产品、界面或功能是否真正服务用户任务,而不是服务展示欲。

适用场景

  • 产品功能太多,界面显得吵。
  • 需要判断设计是否诚实表达能力和限制。
  • 需要删减装饰、噪音、伪高级感或无效功能。
  • 需要检查一个方案能否长期使用而不疲劳。
  • 需要区分“极简风格”和“更少但更好”的功能纪律。

方法

  1. 先判断核心用途:这个设计到底帮用户完成什么。
  2. 检查每个元素是否服务核心用途、理解、反馈或信任。
  3. 检查诚实性:是否夸大能力、隐藏限制、制造虚假质感或假效率。
  4. 检查克制性:视觉、动效、文案和功能是否抢占注意力。
  5. 检查可理解性和耐久性:长期使用是否稳定、清楚、不疲劳。
  6. 检查细节纪律:间距、层级、状态、一致性和边界条件是否被认真处理。
  7. 给出删除、合并、降级或保留的最小清单。

设计/体验评审标准

  • 有用性:元素是否直接服务用户任务、理解、反馈或信任。
  • 诚实性:是否夸大能力、隐藏限制、制造伪效率或伪高级感。
  • 克制性:视觉、动效、标签和功能是否抢占注意力。
  • 可理解性:用户能否不读长说明就理解核心用途。
  • 耐久性:长期使用是否仍然稳定、清楚、不疲劳。
  • 细节纪律:空状态、错误态、加载态、边界文案和对齐是否同样认真。
  • 责任成本:新增元素是否带来维护、认知、性能或环境成本。

案例与反例

正例:
一个 AI 分析页只保留输入、关键结果、证据来源、风险提示和导出动作,次要示例折叠到需要时展开。

反例:
首页堆满渐变、徽章、动效、泛化能力词和重复 CTA,看起来丰富,却让用户不知道第一步该做什么。

最小修改:
围绕核心用途删除装饰性噪声,保留必要反馈、可访问性线索和能力限制说明。

输出契约

建议删除/保留:

失败模式

  • 把“极简”当成唯一正确风格。
  • 为了克制牺牲可发现性、可访问性和错误恢复。
  • 只做审美评价,不检查产品是否有用。
  • 删除功能时没有说明它为什么不服务核心用途。

验证逻辑

  • 每个删除建议都必须说明它不服务哪个核心用途。
  • 必须区分装饰噪声、必要反馈和必要指示。
  • 诚实性问题必须指向用户可能形成的错误期待。
  • 如果设计需要强表现力,应说明哪些表达是必要的,而不是简单删减。

边界测试

输入:
这个 AI 工具首页有很多渐变、标签、案例、动效和功能说明,看起来很丰富但转化差。

期望改善:
输出应先识别核心用途和用户任务,再判断哪些元素制造噪声、夸大能力或阻碍理解,给出删除/保留清单。

交接

  • 交给 cogm-human-centered-interaction 检查可理解性、反馈和交互模型。
  • 交给 cogp-vignelli 检查版式、网格和视觉系统。
  • 交给 cogp-shannon 检查信号、噪声和压缩。
  • 交给 cogt-design 汇总产品体验和设计取舍。

护栏

  • 不要把“极简”当成唯一正确风格。
  • 不要为了克制牺牲可发现性和可访问性。
  • 不要把个人审美当作用户价值。
  • 每个删除建议都必须说明它为什么不服务核心用途。

What ships with it

6 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.

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.
