ijfw-ui-spec

ijfw-ui-spec is a skill for Claude Code from FerroxLabs/ijfw. It costs 83 tokens per session (2,028 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A design specification tool that creates a UI-SPEC.md file before a visual build. The file records the intended visual design for a web interface, book layout, campaign deck, or other visual work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define the visual contract for a frontend slice or another visual deliverable. It creates the specification in the project planning area and calls for a final six-part visual audit after implementation.
Why use it?
It puts the visual decisions in writing before implementation, so the finished work can be checked against an agreed design. It also sets up a later visual review.

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

ijfw-ui-spec 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 4d 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.

IJFW UI-Spec -- lock the visual contract before build

Produce .planning/<milestone>/<phase>/UI-SPEC.md as the design contract for the active slice, then dispatch ijfw-ui-auditor as the final 6-pillar gate after implementation lands.

Domain-agnostic. Same flow for: a web UI slice ("settings page"), a book chapter layout ("Ch4 spread + typography"), a campaign deck ("launch deck 8 slides"), a brand system ("v2 token refresh"). UI-SPEC.md is the visual counterpart to SPEC.md.

When to fire

  1. User explicitly asks: "ui spec", "design contract", "ui audit setup", "lock the design", or invokes /ijfw-ui-spec.
  2. ijfw-workflow Deep path enters a frontend or visual-artifact build with no UI-SPEC.md present.
  3. plan-phase is requested for a slice tagged ui:* or visual:* and no UI-SPEC.md exists.

Process

1. Locate the active slice

MILESTONE=$(cat .ijfw/state/active-milestone 2>/dev/null \
  || ls -1 .planning/ | grep -E '^[0-9]' | tail -1)
PHASE=$(cat .ijfw/state/active-phase 2>/dev/null || echo "$1")
PHASE_DIR=".planning/${MILESTONE}/${PHASE}"
MOCKUP_DIR="${PHASE_DIR}/mockups"
mkdir -p "$PHASE_DIR" "$MOCKUP_DIR"

If $PHASE is unset and no argument supplied, ASK which slice to spec. Never guess.

2. Load context

Read in order, skipping any that don't exist:

  1. .ijfw/memory/brief.md -- the original ask
  2. DESIGN.md -- existing design contract (root)
  3. .planning/<milestone>/<phase>/SPEC.md -- locked WHAT for this slice
  4. .planning/<milestone>/<phase>/CONTEXT.md -- discuss-phase decisions
  5. Any prior UI-SPEC.md in earlier slices of this milestone
  6. .planning/PROJECT.md -- non-negotiables

Extract: brand direction, declared surfaces, prior token decisions, the critical surfaces that must visualise.

3. Trigger ijfw-design if no design contract exists

If neither DESIGN.md nor a prior UI-SPEC.md lives in the repo, defer to the ijfw-design skill to pick a direction (brand / template / blank slate) and persist DESIGN.md. Resume from Step 4 once design pass landed.
