Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00060 | $0.01531 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00030 | $0.00766 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00306 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00153 |
Grade A, and why
design-trends 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 11d 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-Trends
Current award-winning patterns and emerging techniques in web design (as of Q1/Q2 2026). This skill is structured for periodic updates -- each section can be updated independently.
Scope
Use this skill when:
- You are starting a new web design project and need to know current trends
- You want to assess an existing design for contemporary relevance
- You are designing hero sections, animations, or layouts to current standards
- You are aiming for award-worthy quality (Awwwards, CSSDA, Godly)
Principles
1. Motion as Meaning
Animation is not decoration. It conveys hierarchy, state, and narrative. Award-winning sites (CSSDA JPANEL 8.0+) consistently rely on scroll-driven and state-based motion.
2. Typography as Hero
Oversized, expressive typography dominates hero sections. Type IS the layout, not merely content within it.
3. Reduction with Depth
Minimalism persists, but with subtle depth through shadows, blur layers, and micro-textures. Flat design is dead; minimalism lives on.
4. Dark Interfaces as Default
Dark mode is not an option but the primary design path. Light variants are derivatives.
5. Scroll as Narrative
Vertical scrolling is the primary interaction. Each scroll section is a narrative beat.
6. Performance as Feature
60fps animations and fast load times are prerequisites for awards, not bonuses.
Rules
Motion and Animation
- DO: Use scroll-triggered animations with IntersectionObserver or ScrollTimeline API.
- DO: Implement transitions between page states with View Transitions API or FLIP animations.
- DO: Design brand-specific loading animations -- no generic spinners.
- DON'T: Use animation without purpose. Every motion must direct attention, indicate state, or clarify hierarchy.
- DON'T: Animations longer than 400ms (exception: narrative scroll sequences).
- DON'T: Overdo parallax. Subtle parallax works; excessive layer shifting disorients.
Typography Trends
- DO: Use variable fonts for fluid weight transitions and responsive typography.
- DO: Display typefaces in hero sections large (80px+) and high-contrast.
- DO: One expressive display typeface + one neutral text typeface. Maximum 2 families.
- DON'T: Load more than 3 font weights per page.
- DON'T: System fonts in hero sections -- they signal a lack of design intent.
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

design-trends is a skill published in the GitHub repository flitzrrr/frontend-design-skills (5 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 60 tokens to every session and 1,531 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-31.
