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

building-frontend-ui 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 109 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Building Frontend UI

A frontend change is good when it reuses what already exists, is accessible by default, handles every state (loading, error, empty, long content), performs under real data, and leaks no data to the client. This skill is framework-agnostic: the workflow and rules live here; framework-specific mechanics live in references/<framework>.md and are loaded only when relevant.

Read first (always)

List learnings/ and read every file relevant to the current task — project conventions, the design system, banned dependencies, and component patterns live there and override the defaults in this file. If a learning conflicts with this skill, the learning wins — mention it.

Starting from zero?

If there is no existing design to extend (new site, new product surface, greenfield page), read references/designing-from-scratch.md before Step 0 and deliver its design plan as text before any code: strategy (one measurable goal, one primary action) → structure (sitemap, wireframe, section jobs) → tokens → components → pages. Visual decisions (type, color, space, motion, the generic-page anti-patterns) follow references/design-craft.md. Before declaring from-scratch work done, run the Vibe Check + delivery scorecard in references/anti-vibe-coded.md and report item by item — it is the definition of done for greenfield UI.

When a design system already exists, the opposite applies: the existing tokens, components, and layout are the law (Step 0) — never introduce a parallel style, and never use the from-scratch rules to justify restyling what's already consistent. Only the functional layers of the anti-vibe audit still apply (states, dead clicks, semantics, mobile, a11y).

Step 0 — Audit before you build (do not skip)

Most bad frontend work is net-new code that should have been reuse. Before writing anything:

  1. Find the design system. Grep for the token/theme source — CSS custom properties (--color-*, --space-*), a tailwind.config, a theme file, design-token JSON. Use those tokens; never hardcode raw hex, px spacing, or font sizes in a component. Before defining any new color, sweep the existing palette and name the closest existing tokens — a new token that duplicates (or nearly duplicates) a color that already has a name is a defect, not a choice (hooks/check-design-tokens.py flags this after the fact; the sweep comes first).
  2. Find existing components and utilities. Grep/glob for a component that already does this (button, modal, field, table, empty-state) and reuse or extend it instead of creating a parallel one. Match the established prop and naming patterns.
  3. Find the i18n system, if any. Grep for a locales/ dir, i18n config, or translation calls (t(...), $t, useTranslation, FormattedMessage). If the project has one, every user-facing string goes through it — a hardcoded string in a translated app is a bug, and every new key must be added to all locale files (a key present in one language and missing in another ships broken UI).
  4. Read the surrounding files to copy the project's conventions (file layout, styling approach, state approach, test location).

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.

building-frontend-ui is a skill published in the GitHub repository Cristhianzl/claude-skills-czl (5 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 2,604 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
