colorize

colorize is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from arnabdeypolimi/claude_code_setup. It costs 53 tokens per session (1,541 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of colorize, MIT.

A design guide for adding purposeful color to interfaces that are mostly gray or visually flat. It considers meaning, hierarchy, categories, navigation, and the existing brand colors.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when refreshing a monochrome interface, highlighting important states, separating categories, improving navigation, or adding warmth and personality to a product design.
Why use it?
It helps decide where color improves understanding or mood instead of adding random decoration. It is intended for designs that feel dull, cold, or lacking in visual energy.

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

colorize 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.

Origin

This is a copy

80% identical to colorize — 26 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 142 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Strategically introduce color to designs that are too monochromatic, gray, or lacking in visual warmth and personality.

MANDATORY PREPARATION

Invoke /frontend-design — it contains design principles, anti-patterns, and the Context Gathering Protocol. Follow the protocol before proceeding — if no design context exists yet, you MUST run /teach-impeccable first. Additionally gather: existing brand colors.


Assess Color Opportunity

Analyze the current state and identify opportunities:

  1. Understand current state:

    • Color absence: Pure grayscale? Limited neutrals? One timid accent?
    • Missed opportunities: Where could color add meaning, hierarchy, or delight?
    • Context: What's appropriate for this domain and audience?
    • Brand: Are there existing brand colors we should use?
  2. Identify where color adds value:

    • Semantic meaning: Success (green), error (red), warning (yellow/orange), info (blue)
    • Hierarchy: Drawing attention to important elements
    • Categorization: Different sections, types, or states
    • Emotional tone: Warmth, energy, trust, creativity
    • Wayfinding: Helping users navigate and understand structure
    • Delight: Moments of visual interest and personality

If any of these are unclear from the codebase, ask the user directly to clarify what you cannot infer.

CRITICAL: More color ≠ better. Strategic color beats rainbow vomit every time. Every color should have a purpose.

Plan Color Strategy

Create a purposeful color introduction plan:

  • Color palette: What colors match the brand/context? (Choose 2-4 colors max beyond neutrals)
  • Dominant color: Which color owns 60% of colored elements?
  • Accent colors: Which colors provide contrast and highlights? (30% and 10%)
  • Application strategy: Where does each color appear and why?

IMPORTANT: Color should enhance hierarchy and meaning, not create chaos. Less is more when it matters more.

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.
