relationship-design

relationship-design is a skill for Claude Code from ariadoss/superskills. It costs 46 tokens per session (639 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A design framework for AI interfaces that remember user history, build trust over time, and support ongoing collaboration.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing memory-aware assistants, agentic user experiences, or products intended to develop long-term user relationships.
Why use it?
It helps designers address how an AI system should explain actions, handle permission, learn from interactions, and recover when users correct it.

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

relationship-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 9d 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.

Agentic UX Design — Relationship-Centric Interfaces

Design framework for AI-first interfaces that build ongoing partnerships, not isolated session interactions.

Core Shift

Traditional UX optimizes for sessions. Relationship-centric UX optimizes for sustained partnerships.

"Every interaction builds on learned preferences and user history. Systems don't just respond — they develop understanding that compounds over time."


Five Pillars

1. Memory Revolution

Moving beyond static preferences to capture:

  • Behavioral patterns across sessions
  • Emotional context (frustration, delight, confusion patterns)
  • Temporal evolution (how needs change over time)
  • Implicit signals (what users skip, ignore, repeat)

Design for: "What would this system know about the user after 3 months?"

2. Trust as Design Material

Three-stage trust model:

  1. Transparency — system shows all reasoning, asks permission
  2. Selective Disclosure — system explains only when deviating from expectations
  3. Autonomous Action — system acts independently with clear recovery paths

Design for: trust that can be inspected, corrected, and rebuilt.

3. Relationship-Centric Architecture

Maintain continuous awareness of:

  • User goals (not just current task)
  • Communication patterns (terse vs. exploratory)
  • Historical preferences
  • Outstanding commitments

Design for: context that doesn't reset between sessions.

4. Dynamic Path Planning

Systems that construct workflows aligned with individual objectives:

  • "What is this user actually trying to accomplish?"
  • Adaptive suggestions based on observed patterns
  • Proactive surfacing of relevant information

5. New Success Metrics

Replace traditional metrics with:

  • Relationship quality: does the system understand the user better over time?
  • Compounding value: does each interaction make future interactions more valuable?
  • Context accuracy: is stored understanding correct and current?
  • Democratic alignment: does the system serve the user's actual goals, not engagement goals?

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.

relationship-design is a skill published in the GitHub repository ariadoss/superskills (9 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 46 tokens to every session and 639 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
