design-router

design-router is a skill for Claude Code from f0d010c/stark. It costs 117 tokens per session (1,370 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A routing guide for interface work when the target platform or user flow is unclear. It decides whether the task needs UX planning, platform-specific UI work, visual direction, or design-system help.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for requests involving interfaces, user journeys, onboarding, forms, dashboards, design systems, assets, motion, or usability when the right design approach is not yet clear.
Why use it?
It prevents an ambiguous design request from being sent down the wrong path, such as treating a checkout flow or native app as a generic web page.

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

design-router 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.

design-router — platform dispatch

This skill is the entry point when a UI/UX request is ambiguous. Goal: pick the right UX and platform skill, do not over-eagerly route to web.

What This Router Can Dispatch

  • UX flow work: user journeys, IA, onboarding, checkout, forms, dashboards, state design, recovery, and repeated-use ergonomics.
  • Platform UI work: web, Windows, Apple, Android, and cross-platform translation.
  • Visual quality work: originality, desktop archetypes, creative direction, anti-default rewrites, motion/interaction choices, assets, references, and design tokens.

Step 0 - Decide whether UX comes first

Route to ux-design before platform visuals when the request includes:

  • "UX", "user journey", "flow", "wireframe", "information architecture", "IA", "usability"
  • onboarding, signup, checkout, paywall, forms, settings, permissions, dashboard workflow, admin workflow
  • CRM, admin panel, internal tool, SaaS dashboard, marketplace, editor/canvas tool, setup wizard, command palette, data table
  • empty/loading/error states, long-running task progress, retry/resume, bulk actions, saved filters, audit trails
  • making an app easier to use, less confusing, better for daily use, or better for conversion/retention

If the request is both UX and platform-specific, read ux-design first, then the matching platform skill.

Step 1 — Read the request for platform signals

Scan for explicit signals (in priority order):

Signal in request Route to
"onboarding", "checkout", "signup", "form flow", "empty state", "loading state", "error state", "admin workflow", "CRM", "internal tool", "SaaS dashboard", "user journey" ux-design first, then platform skill
"translate this UI", "translate this screen", "translate this design", "port this UI", "convert this screen", "from iOS to Windows", "from Apple to Android" cross-platform-design first, then the target platform skill

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.
