product-design-director

product-design-director is a skill for Codex from cmdr-chara/codex-toolkit. It costs 40 tokens per session (579 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for deciding how a product should look, communicate, and behave across screens. It turns product goals, user needs, brand material, content, and constraints into a practical design direction.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define or improve a web or mobile experience, critique an existing interface, shape a design system, or prepare a brief that developers can build from.
Why use it?
It helps resolve unclear design decisions before implementation and exposes problems in layout, user flows, screen states, responsive behavior, accessibility, and visual consistency.

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

product-design-director 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 1mo 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.

Product Design Director

Define a coherent product experience before implementation details harden into accidental design.

This skill selectively adapts MIT-licensed concepts from Leonxlnx/taste-skill. See references/provenance.md.

Trigger boundary

Use this skill for product UX/visual direction, redesign critique, experience principles, state/journey design, responsive behavior, and accessibility intent.

Do not trigger for literal screenshot reconstruction, routine frontend implementation, or production architecture without a design-direction question.

Required inputs

Resolve product/user goal, primary jobs/journeys, brand evidence, content/assets, existing interface when redesigning, platform/input constraints, accessibility needs, implementation constraints, and protected user work.

Safety baseline

  • Preserve validated product behavior unless a change is explicitly intended.
  • Distinguish evidence from aesthetic preference.
  • Do not fabricate brand assets, content claims, or accessibility conformance.
  • Avoid defaulting every product to one fashionable visual language.

Workflow

  1. Infer the design problem. Clarify audience, job, emotional/brand intent, constraints, and success signals.
  2. Audit before redesigning. Use references/redesign-audit.md to preserve working behavior and identify actual experience problems.
  3. Set experience principles. Define hierarchy, density, feedback, trust, navigation, and content priorities.
  4. Calibrate direction. Use references/direction-calibration.md to explore distinct evidence-backed directions instead of one default aesthetic.
  5. Model journeys/states. Cover entry, loading, empty, error, success, permission/auth, destructive/irreversible, and recovery states where relevant.
  6. Define the visual system. Establish typography, spacing, color roles, surfaces, imagery/icon approach, and motion purpose at the level implementation needs.
  7. Define responsive/accessibility behavior. Use references/accessibility-and-responsive-review.md; specify transformations, not just desktop/mobile snapshots.
  8. Critique and hand off. Compare the proposed system against the brief and make implementation-critical decisions explicit.

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.
