frontend-design

A set of methods for building frontend interfaces that have an intentional visual direction, clear layout, typography, colors, spacing, and motion.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating or upgrading landing pages, dashboards, application screens, components, or other frontend work where appearance matters.
Why use it?
It helps avoid generic-looking interfaces by making the visual choices part of the design work rather than an afterthought to the code.

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-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 yesterday.

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.

Frontend Design

Use this when the task is not just "make it work" but "make it look designed."

This skill is for product pages, dashboards, app shells, components, or visual systems that need a clear point of view instead of generic AI-looking UI.

When To Use

  • building a landing page, dashboard, or app surface from scratch
  • upgrading a bland interface into something intentional and memorable
  • translating a product concept into a concrete visual direction
  • implementing a frontend where typography, composition, and motion matter

Core Principle

Pick a direction and commit to it.

Safe-average UI is usually worse than a strong, coherent aesthetic with a few bold choices.

Design Workflow

1. Frame the interface first

Before coding, settle:

  • purpose
  • audience
  • emotional tone
  • visual direction
  • one thing the user should remember

Possible directions:

  • brutally minimal
  • editorial
  • industrial
  • luxury
  • playful
  • geometric
  • retro-futurist
  • soft and organic
  • maximalist

Do not mix directions casually. Choose one and execute it cleanly.

2. Build the visual system

Define:

  • type hierarchy
  • color variables
  • spacing rhythm
  • layout logic
  • motion rules
  • surface / border / shadow treatment

Use CSS variables or the project's token system so the interface stays coherent as it grows.

3. Compose with intention

Prefer:

  • asymmetry when it sharpens hierarchy
  • overlap when it creates depth
  • strong whitespace when it clarifies focus
  • dense layouts only when the product benefits from density

Avoid defaulting to a symmetrical card grid unless it is clearly the right fit.

4. Make motion meaningful

Use animation to:

  • reveal hierarchy
  • stage information
  • reinforce user action
  • create one or two memorable moments

Do not scatter generic micro-interactions everywhere. One well-directed load sequence is usually stronger than twenty random hover effects.

Strong Defaults

Typography

  • pick fonts with character
  • pair a distinctive display face with a readable body face when appropriate
  • avoid generic defaults when the page is design-led
