craft

craft is a skill for Claude Code from devnomad-byte/techneering. It costs 48 tokens per session (1,034 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A design and implementation guide for building distinctive frontend interfaces, meaning the pages and controls people see and use in a web app.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating or improving web pages, components, layouts, styles, forms, buttons, and other user-interface elements.
Why use it?
It helps avoid generic-looking interfaces by requiring deliberate visual choices and careful attention to details such as layout, styling, and interaction.

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

craft 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 2mo 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

Create distinctive, production-grade frontend interfaces that avoid generic "AI slop" aesthetics. Implement real working code with exceptional attention to aesthetic details and creative choices.

When This Skill Runs

  • Auto-stacked (normal): when tn:compass or tn:assemble detects frontend work via the Frontend Detection Rules (page/component/UI/layout/style, React/Vue/CSS/Tailwind, form/button/modal, etc. — full keyword list lives in tn:compass). In this mode it runs during the implementation phase of an existing path, then returns to the caller.
  • On demand: invoke directly as tn:craft (through your host's skill mechanism; users may also trigger it from the CLI). Use this for "just design me a page" requests that skip the spec flow.

craft is a domain skill — it never stands alone as a path; it stacks onto implementation and returns to its caller.

Core Principle

BOLD AESTHETIC CHOICES + METICULOUS EXECUTION = MEMORABLE INTERFACES.
No generic AI aesthetics. Every design must be intentional and distinctive.

Steps

Step 1: Design Thinking

Before coding, understand the context and commit to a BOLD aesthetic direction:

  • Purpose: What problem does this interface solve? Who uses it?
  • Tone: Pick an extreme: brutally minimal, maximalist chaos, retro-futuristic, organic/natural, luxury/refined, playful/toy-like, editorial/magazine, brutalist/raw, art deco/geometric, soft/pastel, industrial/utilitarian, etc.
  • Constraints: Technical requirements (framework, performance, accessibility)
  • Differentiation: What makes this UNFORGETTABLE? What's the one thing someone will remember?

CRITICAL: Choose a clear conceptual direction and execute it with precision. Bold maximalism and refined minimalism both work — the key is intentionality, not intensity.

Step 2: Implement

Produce working code (HTML/CSS/JS, React, Vue, etc.) that is:

  • Production-grade and functional
  • Visually striking and memorable
  • Cohesive with a clear aesthetic point-of-view
  • Meticulously refined in every detail

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.

craft is a skill published in the GitHub repository devnomad-byte/techneering (13 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 48 tokens to every session and 1,034 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-30.
