industry-design-direction

industry-design-direction is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from artherahq/skills. It costs 249 tokens per session (2,013 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A design-planning guide for choosing the visual style, colors, fonts, and page structure of a website or app for a particular industry. It uses predefined industry profiles and design options to make those choices explicit before building components.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when planning a landing page or interface for a specific field, such as a dental clinic or another industry. It helps decide the aesthetic, palette, font pairing, and overall page layout.
Why use it?
It prevents unrelated products from receiving the same generic look. It helps connect a product's industry and audience to a consistent visual direction.

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

industry-design-direction 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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/test_verify_contrast.py, scripts/verify_contrast.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 165 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Industry design direction

Most generated UI looks templated because the aesthetic was never actually chosen — it defaulted. Purple-blue gradient, glassmorphic cards, Inter everywhere, hero-features-CTA. That default is applied identically to a dental clinic, a metal fabricator, and an NFT marketplace, and it is wrong for all three in different ways.

This skill exists to make the choice explicit and industry-grounded, before any component is written. It is the exploration step. Once a direction is picked, ui-design-system turns it into enforceable tokens.

The five decisions, in this order

Order matters — each one constrains the next, and taking them out of order is how you end up retrofitting a palette onto a layout that fights it.

  1. Industry profilereferences/industry_profiles.md Find the row matching the product. Match on the profile name or its keywords: users describe products in their own words ("clinic booking site"), not in the library's labels ("Healthcare App"). This gives you the primary style, viable alternates, the page structure, and — the part most worth reading — the constraint that industry most often gets wrong.

  2. What that style actually isreferences/style_library.md The profile names a style; this defines it — colors, effects, theme support, performance, the CSS that produces it, and a done-checklist. Read the "Do NOT use for" line before the "Best for" line: a style applied to the case it explicitly fails at is worse than a plain default. Skipping this step is how a named style silently collapses back into whatever the model already assumed it meant.

  3. Palettereferences/color_palettes.md Same product-type key as the profile. Six roles: Primary, Secondary, CTA, Background, Text, Border. Take all six; picking only a primary and improvising the rest is how the neutral tones drift grey and the whole page flattens.

  4. Type pairingreferences/typography_pairings.md Filter by the Best for line, not by what looks nice in isolation. A heading/body split is what stops a page reading as one undifferentiated block — a single family everywhere is the single most reliable tell of generated UI.
