orchestrator: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/design-brief-gen/SKILL.md

design-brief-gen is a skill for Claude Code from c9r-io/orchestrator. It costs 127 tokens per session (1,607 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for turning a UI idea into a written design brief and matching UI test scenarios. The brief records what users should see and do, while the tests describe how to check that result.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing a new screen, feature, or app, or when you want documented design decisions and testable user-interface behavior.
Why use it?
It gives design work a clear record and creates implementation checks before development begins.

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

design-brief-gen 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.

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.

Design Brief Gen

Turn conversational design intent into a structured Design Brief and matching UIUX test documents — the design-first entry point for feature development.

Why This Skill Exists

Feature requests (FR) start from behavior ("what should the system do?"). Design Briefs start from user experience ("what should the user see and feel?"). This skill captures design intent through conversation — the same low-friction model as FR — and produces two outputs:

  1. Design Brief: Structured screen/flow/component documentation under docs/design_brief/
  2. UIUX Test Doc: Testable scenarios aligned to the design, under docs/uiux/

The Design Brief becomes the upstream artifact that drives implementation, much like an FR drives code.

Workflow

1. Interview: Clarify design intent through conversation
2. Discover constraints from design system
3. Generate Design Brief document
4. Generate UIUX test scenarios from the brief
5. Cross-check existing UIUX docs for impact
6. Update indexes

Step 1: Interview — Clarify Design Intent

Extract the following from the conversation. Ask for missing pieces — but keep it conversational, not a form.

Required:

  • What: What screens/pages/flows are being designed?
  • Why: What user problem does this solve?
  • Who: Who are the target users?
  • Where: Where does this live? (portal, standalone app, component library)

Helpful but optional (infer from context if not stated):

  • Layout preferences (sidebar + content, full-width, split panel, etc.)
  • Key components (tables, charts, forms, cards, etc.)
  • Interaction patterns (CRUD, dashboard, wizard, etc.)
  • Responsive requirements
  • Reference designs or existing screens to emulate

If the user provides design images or mockups, reference them in the brief's Assets section. Images are input context, not hard requirements — the brief should describe intent, not pixel-match an image.

Step 2: Discover Design System Constraints

Read docs/design-system.md to extract applicable constraints:

  • Token palette (light/dark)
  • Glass/surface treatment rules
  • Spacing, radius, typography scales
  • Accessibility requirements (contrast, focus ring, ARIA)
  • Animation and reduced-motion policy
  • Responsive breakpoint strategy

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.
