web-visual-direction

web-visual-direction is a skill for Codex from divyanshu-iitian/agent-website-design-skills. It costs 52 tokens per session (594 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A process for defining a practical visual system for a website or web app, covering composition, typography, colors, imagery, icons, surfaces, borders, and motion.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before substantial frontend work to choose the first-screen focus, grid, content density, section rhythm, visual thesis, and implementation rules.
Why use it?
It turns an unclear design brief into a coherent direction that can guide implementation while accounting for the product, audience, existing assets, and technical constraints.

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

web-visual-direction 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.

Web Visual Direction

Turn an ambiguous brief into one coherent visual system. Make choices that fit the product and can survive implementation; do not produce a mood-board-shaped list of adjectives.

Workflow

  1. Inspect the product brief and existing code, brand assets, screenshots, content, component library, and constraints. Preserve intentional brand equity.
  2. State the audience, their immediate task, and the feeling the interface should create in one sentence each.
  3. Choose one visual thesis with a useful tension, such as "editorial authority with operational speed." Explain why it fits.
  4. Select two or three relevant references. Extract principles - rhythm, contrast, framing, density - not surface decoration or copyrighted layouts.
  5. Decide the composition before styling details:
    • identify the first viewport's focal point;
    • define the grid, content width, density, and section rhythm;
    • decide what intentionally breaks the grid, if anything.
  6. Define implementation-ready rules for typography, color, surfaces, borders, imagery, icons, and motion.
  7. Express the direction as a small token set and component implications. Reuse the project's existing styling system.
  8. Implement one representative viewport or component when implementation is in scope.
  9. Verify the direction at mobile and desktop widths. Remove choices that weaken comprehension, hierarchy, performance, or accessibility.

Decision Rules

  • Lead with the real product, work, place, person, object, or outcome.
  • Prefer a memorable structural idea over decorative effects.
  • Match density to the job: operational interfaces are compact; narrative brand pages can breathe.
  • Use typography with a reason. Do not ban or choose a font only because it is fashionable.
  • Use cards for meaningful grouping, not as the default container for every sentence.
  • Treat gradients, glass, grain, glow, and oversized type as tools, not proof of design quality.
  • Keep motion purposeful and respect reduced-motion preferences.
  • Do not fabricate brand assets, customer logos, metrics, or product screenshots.

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.
