perfect-design

perfect-design is a skill for Codex from Eid0lon/zero-slop. It costs 99 tokens per session (1,218 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for designing and refining product-specific web interfaces. It covers layout, visual style, copy, design rules, and interaction details for products such as dashboards, online shops, SaaS apps, and landing pages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define, create, redesign, polish, judge, or verify a frontend interface from a brief or an existing implementation.
Why use it?
It helps turn a rough or generic interface into a consistent design with a clear visual direction. It can also improve an existing screen without changing what the product does.

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

perfect-design 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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/perfect_design_cli.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Perfect Design

Perfect Design is the premium design layer. no-slop removes generic AI residue; Perfect Design creates a coherent, product-specific interface that feels designed by a senior design engineer.

Command Interface

Use references/command-interface.md.

Primary commands:

perfect-design --contract [brief-or-target]
perfect-design --create [brief-or-target]
perfect-design --redesign [target]
perfect-design --polish [target]
perfect-design --judge [target]
perfect-design --verify [target]
perfect-design -e --polish [target]

Short flags:

  • -c, --contract: write the design contract before code.
  • --create: build a new UI surface from a brief.
  • -r, --redesign: rebuild direction, layout, tokens, copy, and interaction.
  • -p, --polish: refine an existing surface without changing the product model.
  • -j, --judge: run the brutal premium judge panel.
  • --verify: prove the result in code and browser when possible.
  • -e, --economy: disable live subagent judges only when the user explicitly accepts a lower-cost review.

Default mode:

  • Existing UI target: --polish.
  • Brief without target: --contract.

First Action

Load steps/step-00-command-router.md.

Step 00 parses command flags, discovers project shape, loads the right references, and routes to contract, create, redesign, polish, judge, or verify.

Core References

Load only what the task needs:

  • references/command-interface.md: grammar, precedence, output contracts.
  • references/dials-and-presets.md: premium craft dials and archetype presets.
  • references/research-synthesis.md: distilled research from Vercel, Linear, Raycast, Awwwards, WCAG, Baymard, Polaris, Radix, web.dev, Resend, Supabase, and related sources.
  • references/design-contract.md: pre-code contract structure and rejection rules.
  • references/product-archetypes.md: domain-specific design expectations.
  • references/composition-playbook.md: layout, hierarchy, typography, color, tokens, imagery, and visual rhythm.
  • references/interaction-accessibility.md: keyboard, focus, states, motion, performance, and responsive stability.
  • references/no-slop-integration.md: how to combine Perfect Design with no-slop.
  • references/legacy-boundary.md: proof that old-perfect-design is intentionally outside the editable scope.
  • references/judge-system.md: mandatory brutal judge protocol and gate formula.
  • references/premium-quality-rubric.md: scoring rubric and ship gates.
  • references/self-coaching.md: the internal checklist to use when stuck.
  • references/verification-playbook.md: build/browser/accessibility/visual proof.

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.
