What is civiq-design?

A design guide and asset library for CIV.IQ, a civic-information platform about representatives, voting, and campaign finance.

Designing CIV.IQ pages, prototypes, UI components, icons, typography, colors, and branded assets.

It helps developers create interfaces that follow CIV.IQ’s specified visual style instead of making separate design decisions each time.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00129	$0.00627
Opus 5	$0.00064	$0.00313
Sonnet 5	$0.00026	$0.00125
Haiku 4.5	$0.00013	$0.00063

Security

Grade A, and why

civiq-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 6d 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.

What it actually says

Read the README.md file within this skill, and explore the other available files.

Key entry points:

README.md — full content + visual foundations + iconography rules
colors_and_type.css — drop-in CSS vars (--civiq-blue, --grid, --type-*, --tracking-*) and @font-face for Braun Linear
fonts/ — Braun Linear .woff2 (5 weights)
assets/icons.jsx — the full 27-icon Aicher pictogram set as React components (window.RepresentativeIcon, etc.)
assets/civiq-logo-hero.webp + assets/civiq-logo.png — brand mark
ui_kits/web/ — landing, representative profile, bill detail, search — pixel-faithful recreations of civdotiq.org
preview/ — design-system cards (cards, buttons, type, color swatches)

Non-negotiables when designing for CIV.IQ:

8px grid for every spacing value.
2px solid black borders on every card/container. Square corners. No rounded cards.
Labels + nav + CTAs are UPPERCASE with letter-spacing 0.08em.
No gradients. No drop-shadows on cards (shadows only for modals/tooltips). No emoji. No stock icons — use assets/icons.jsx.
Red = Republican. Green = Democrat. Blue is the product's action/success color (blue, not green). Amber is error (amber, not red).
Copy is 8th-grade, factual, uppercase-label-forward, never exclaims. Every analytic insight carries confidence + methodology + a correlation-not-causation disclaimer.

If creating visual artifacts (slides, mocks, throwaway prototypes, etc), copy assets out and create static HTML files for the user to view. Include colors_and_type.css and reference fonts/ + assets/ with relative paths. If working on production code, you can copy assets and read the rules here to become an expert in designing with this brand.

If the user invokes this skill without any other guidance, ask them what they want to build or design, ask some questions, and act as an expert designer who outputs HTML artifacts or production code, depending on the need.

Files

What ships with it

60 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
