design-style-picker

design-style-picker is a skill for Codex from daymade/claude-code-skills. It costs 78 tokens per session (943 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for generating several visual design directions and comparing them so you can choose a preferred style.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to explore styles for interfaces, design systems, business screens, landing pages, presentations, or component libraries.
Why use it?
It helps when visual preferences are difficult to describe in words or when an initial design feels too colorful, plain, or generic.

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-style-picker 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 9d 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 Style Picker

Purpose

Use this skill to turn vague taste into concrete visual choices. The goal is not to guess one final design; it is to generate a structured set of options that exposes the user's taste boundary quickly.

Core Rule

Do not ask the user to describe an abstract style if they already said they cannot. Generate comparable visual evidence, let them pick, then implement from the selected references.

Workflow

  1. Restate The Real Target

    • Say what the user is actually choosing: design-system style, business app surface, landing page, deck, component library, etc.
    • Separate the primary artifact from validation samples. If the task is a design system, business screens are optional validation samples, not the main deliverable.
    • Preserve any existing UI, assets, tokens, layout, brand cues, and domain context unless the user explicitly asks to discard them.
  2. Collect Existing Assets First

    • Inspect the current rendered UI or screenshots.
    • Read design tokens, CSS variables, component names, key images, brand/domain references, and existing screenshots.
    • Treat current assets as the starting vocabulary. Do not generate unrelated "fresh" concepts over them.
  3. Generate A Matrix, Not Minor Variants

    • Use at least two axes when taste is unclear:
      • Vertical ladder: one dimension changes by large steps, such as color intensity 20/35/50/65/80.
      • Horizontal directions: different organization strategies, such as data-driven color, brand spine, warm product imagery, scenario modules, or governance-led layout.
    • Make options visibly different. If two images look like siblings, regenerate one with a clearer contrast.
    • Prefer batch generation. The user is waiting for selection, not watching one slow image at a time.
  4. Use Color As A System

    • "Less colorful" does not mean black-and-white. It usually means fewer competing focal points.
    • Keep the product palette alive, but assign color roles:
      • Broad zones and section bands for architecture.
      • Data visualization and evidence systems for multi-color semantics.
      • Brand/risk colors for rare, high-signal emphasis.
      • Neutral components for routine UI.
    • Include explicit upper-bound samples when the user is tuning color: safe, middle, high, and overload boundary.

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.
