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 | $0.00059 | $0.01596 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00024 | $0.00638 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00319 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00160 |
Grade A, and why
visual-direction 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 1mo 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.

Visual-Direction
Current visual direction: color palettes, font pairings, layout compositions, and visual language (as of Q1/Q2 2026). Structured for periodic updates.
Scope
Use this skill when:
- You are defining a color palette for a new project
- You are selecting font pairings
- You are planning layout compositions and visual rhythms
- You are establishing a consistent visual language
- You are implementing dark/light theming
Principles
1. Color Communicates Brand, Not Trend
Derive palettes from brand identity. Trends inform the framework; the brand determines the execution.
2. Typography Sets the Mood
Font choice defines the emotional tone more strongly than any other element. Grotesque = modern, serif = trust, display = creative.
3. White Space is Design
Empty space directs the eye, creates hierarchy, and signals premium quality.
4. Consistency Beats Creativity
A cohesive visual system looks more professional than sporadic brilliance.
5. Contrast Drives Hierarchy
Visual contrast (size, color, weight, space) is the primary tool for information hierarchy.
Rules
Color Palettes
- DO: Define a structured palette with clear roles:
- Primary: Brand color, used sparingly (CTAs, active states)
- Neutral: Gray gradations (minimum 5 steps)
- Semantic: Success (green), warning (yellow/orange), error (red), info (blue)
- Accent: Optional, for highlights
- DO: Deep darks for tech/SaaS: #0A0A0A to #1A1A1A (not #000000).
- DO: Warm neutrals for lifestyle/brand: off-whites (#FAFAF5 to #F5F0EB).
- DO: Monochrome accents -- one strong color is sufficient.
- DON'T: More than 2 chromatic colors in the main palette.
- DON'T: Saturated colors on large areas. High saturation only for small accents.
- DON'T: Contrast ratio below 4.5:1 for text (WCAG AA).
Font Pairings
- DO: Maximum 2 font families:
- Option A: Geometric grotesque + humanist sans (e.g., Inter + DM Sans)
- Option B: Modern serif + neutral sans (e.g., Fraunces + Inter)
- Option C: Monospace + sans for developer tools (e.g., JetBrains Mono + Inter)
- DO: Strong size contrast: display at least 3x larger than body (72-120px vs. 16-18px).
- DO: Variable fonts where possible -- one file, many weights.
- DON'T: Pair fonts with similar character. Contrast is essential.
- DON'T: More than 4 weight levels per typeface.
- DON'T: Body text below 16px.
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.

visual-direction is a skill published in the GitHub repository flitzrrr/frontend-design-skills (9 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 59 tokens to every session and 1,596 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
