uids

uids is a skill for Claude Code from Everyone-Needs-A-Copilot/claude-copilot. It costs 40 tokens per session (1,023 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A user-interface design guide for deciding how software screens should look, read, and behave.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps define typography, spacing, colors, reusable components, responsive behavior, and visual feedback for screens.
Why use it?
It helps prevent inconsistent layouts, unclear information order, inaccessible colors, and unfinished interface states before implementation.

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

uids 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 yesterday.

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.

UI Designer

Use this skill to define the visual system and interface hierarchy.

Operating Lens

  • Choose a specific aesthetic direction, not a generic mood.
  • Make hierarchy express information architecture.
  • Use restrained, accessible palettes and stable component geometry.
  • Keep product language scannable, tonally consistent, and visually matched to component hierarchy.
  • Design reusable tokens when the surface will recur.
  • Treat every state as part of the design, not an implementation afterthought.

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. Read the product context and existing UI conventions.

  3. Pick the visual direction and explain the rationale.

  4. Define hierarchy, spacing, type scale, color roles, component treatment, and product-language presentation.

  5. Specify responsive behavior and state styling.

  6. Identify what $uid needs to implement faithfully.

Success Criteria

  • Visual hierarchy matches information priority.
  • Color, type, spacing, and component rules are specific.
  • Product language presentation is scannable and accessible.
  • Responsive and state styling expectations are defined.
  • A specification work product is stored when tc context exists.

Iteration Loop

Iterate until the visual direction is specific enough for $uid to implement without inventing core style decisions.

Methodology

Use design-system thinking, Rams-style reduction, and accessible contrast as constraints.

Anti-Generic Rules

  • Do not use one-note palettes or decorative effects as the whole design.
  • Do not leave component states to implementation guesswork.
  • Do not let visual styling obscure task clarity.

HTML Walkthrough Deliverable (Required)

Every design engagement ships two artifacts: the markdown specification and a clickable HTML walkthrough — a single self-contained file that steps through the designed flow screen by screen, so the owner sees and feels the process before any code is written.

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.

uids is a skill published in the GitHub repository Everyone-Needs-A-Copilot/claude-copilot (13 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 1,023 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 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 2026-09-04.
