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 | $0.00104 | $0.00954 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00042 | $0.00382 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00021 | $0.00191 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00095 |
Grade A, and why
frontend-design-quality 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 16d 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.

Frontend design quality
Treat design as a system of deliberate decisions, not decoration applied after implementation.
Workflow
-
Inspect before designing
- Read the current UI, component library, tokens, typography, assets, content, routes, and relevant project rules.
- Reuse existing design language when it is intentional and coherent.
- Do not force a default component-library aesthetic onto a project with a different visual identity.
-
Identify the design type and user job
- Product/app UI: prioritize comprehension, state clarity, density, and task completion.
- Marketing/editorial: prioritize narrative, hierarchy, rhythm, and brand expression.
- Portfolio/creative work: prioritize the work itself, art direction, pacing, and distinctive composition.
- Data-heavy UI: prioritize scanability, comparison, and information hierarchy over decoration.
-
Define a design direction before implementation
- Add or update a
Design directionsection in the active specification. - State 3-5 concrete visual principles, not vague adjectives alone.
- Define typography roles, spacing/rhythm, composition, color behavior, surface treatment, imagery, motion, and responsive intent.
- When references are provided, extract principles from them. Do not clone their composition or identity.
- Use references/design-principles.md to pressure-test the direction.
- Add or update a
-
Translate direction into acceptance criteria
- Include observable design criteria: hierarchy, interaction, responsive behavior, focus states, content overflow, empty/loading/error states, and reduced-motion behavior where relevant.
- Avoid criteria such as "looks modern" or "looks premium" without concrete evidence.
-
Design with real constraints
- Use realistic content lengths and actual data shapes when available.
- Design all important states, not only the ideal screenshot.
- Preserve semantic HTML, keyboard usability, contrast, focus visibility, and zoom behavior.
- Prefer a small coherent set of visual rules over many ornamental effects.
What ships with it
3 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.
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.

frontend-design-quality is a skill published in the GitHub repository ddebixx/frontend-template (5 stars, last pushed 17d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 104 tokens to every session and 954 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-10-13.
