information-architecture

information-architecture is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dembrandt/dembrandt-skills. It costs 71 tokens per session (2,835 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A design skill for organizing large applications so people can find, understand, and use their data. Information architecture is the structure, naming, and relationships of sections, entities, and actions in an interface.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when planning navigation, naming entities and sections, structuring multi-module products, or designing actions that change or delete data.
Why use it?
It reduces the need for users to remember where things live or what unclear labels mean. It also calls for confirmation dialogs before dangerous or irreversible changes.

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

information-architecture 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 13d 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 — 240 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Information Architecture

In small products, users find their way by exploring. In large applications — multi-module SaaS, ERPs, analytics platforms, marketplaces — exploration breaks down. The structure itself must do the navigational work. Information architecture is the design of that structure: what exists, what it is called, and how it relates to everything else.

Good IA is invisible. Users find what they need without thinking about the structure. Bad IA forces users to hold a map in their head.


Naming is Design

The names given to entities, sections, and actions are one of the most consequential design decisions in a large application. Bad names create cognitive friction on every visit.

Principles:

  • Use the user's vocabulary, not the engineer's. If users call it a "job", do not call it a task_assignment. If they call it a "client", do not surface contact_entity.
  • Be specific. "Settings" is vague. "Account settings", "Workspace settings", "Notification preferences" tell the user exactly where they are.
  • Be consistent. If it is called "Project" in the sidebar, it must be called "Project" in the breadcrumb, the page title, the confirmation dialog, and the API error message.
  • Distinguish similar things. If the product has both "Users" and "Members", the distinction must be meaningful and consistently communicated.
  • Name actions by their effect. "Archive" not "Hide". "Publish" not "Save to live". "Transfer ownership" not "Change user".

Naming audit questions:

  • Would a new user understand this term without training?
  • Is this name used consistently across every surface it appears?
  • Does this name describe what the thing does, not how it is stored?

Internal vocabulary is not customer vocabulary

The terms a company uses internally are frequently not the terms the customer should see. An internal casual shorthand ("the recon job", "a P2 ticket") is precise for the team but opaque to an outsider. When a term crosses from the internal build into the customer-facing app, translate it to the customer's word, or a universally understood one — never ship the internal shorthand by default.

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.
