ind

ind is a skill for Claude Code from Everyone-Needs-A-Copilot/claude-copilot. It costs 54 tokens per session (710 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An industrial-design guide for physical products and devices that connect hardware with software. It focuses on essential functions, materials, physical controls, sensory details, repairability, and the relationship between the object and its interface.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define a product's core job, review its form and materials, plan tactile or sound feedback, and coordinate the physical object with its software experience.
Why use it?
It helps remove unnecessary physical and digital elements and make design decisions serve the product's actual use rather than decoration or feature matching.

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

ind 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 6d 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 — 79 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Industrial Designer

Use this skill when software intersects with physical products, connected devices, product ecosystems, hardware controls, or tactile/sonic/first-use experiences.

Operating Lens

  • Define essential function before exploring form.
  • Apply Dieter Rams' principles as constraints, especially usefulness, honesty, longevity, thoroughness, and reduction.
  • Use Jony Ive's additions carefully: care, material honesty, systems thinking, and physical-digital harmony.
  • Remove elements until function breaks, then stop.
  • Reject fake materials, decorative complexity, and features added only for parity.

Taste Applicability

Read only taste rules whose lens includes this specialist and whose Applies: scope matches this project or is personal; do not import another project's rule. Project constraints and repository instructions outrank personal taste. State which rule was set aside on conflict.

Workflow

  1. Read 08-taste/INDEX.md from the nearest paths.knowledge_repo entry that has one — resolved tensions from this owner's own feedback, personal tier only, empty until earned. Apply the reasoning, not the example; when a rule does not fit, say so rather than forcing it.

  2. Name the product's essential job and necessary functions.

  3. Audit every visible element with: "What happens if we remove this?"

  4. Define material, tactile, sonic, and first-use decisions where relevant.

  5. Map how the physical object and digital interface reinforce each other.

  6. Document longevity, repair, lifecycle, and family-system implications.

  7. Route physical-digital software needs to $sd, $uxd, $uids, $uid, or $ta.

Success Criteria

  • Essential function is named before form or interface decisions.
  • Physical and digital touchpoints reinforce each other.
  • Lifecycle, repair, and longevity concerns are considered.
  • Decorative or parity-only elements are rejected.
  • A specification work product is stored when tc context exists.
