frontend

frontend is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ariaxhan/kernel-claude. It costs 108 tokens per session (1,452 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A method for designing user interfaces from the product, audience, brand, content, and existing design system instead of starting with generic visual defaults.

In plain words
What is it for?
Choosing typography, colors, layout, imagery, motion, responsive behavior, accessibility decisions, and visual styles for frontend work.
Why use it?
It helps keep the interface suited to its users and purpose. It also exposes missing information and limits ungrounded design choices.

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

frontend 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 3d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 135 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

  1. Product: what the interface does and which action matters most.
  2. Audience and use context: device, environment, familiarity, urgency, accessibility needs.
  3. Brand: existing tokens, logo, type, imagery, voice, screenshots, and reference qualities.
  4. Content: real density, length, hierarchy, empty/error/loading states, and localization risk.
  5. Technical constraints: current stack, component library, performance budget, supported browsers.

Preserve and extend the existing design system when one exists. Do not replace a coherent brand because a variant or personal preference is louder. If the evidence is incomplete, make the smallest reversible assumption and state it; ask only when the answer changes the product direction.

  • desired feeling in 2-3 plain words;
  • one dominant visual idea;
  • typography, color, layout, imagery, and motion choices tied to evidence;
  • 2-3 defaults to avoid for this specific project.

No choice is universally premium. A system font can be correct for speed or platform familiarity. Symmetry can communicate calm. Flat color can be the strongest choice. Huge type, gradients, glass, noise, asymmetry, and animation are tools—not proof of taste.

Compose freely: any mood x any motion language, either alone, or neither. Context-fit always wins over any lens; a lens bends to the content, never the reverse. Each language's prohibition list is binding while that language is active — bans differentiate more than moves do. All languages inherit the reduced-motion hard bar: every design must survive with its motion stripped.

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.

frontend is a skill published in the GitHub repository ariaxhan/kernel-claude (12 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 108 tokens to every session and 1,452 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-08-30.
