design-ui

A design-workflow coordinator that turns a natural-language design request into steps for another design skill.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to route design, development, or copy tasks through the Impeccable design skill and save the workflow state so it can resume later.
Why use it?
It keeps design decisions and progress consistent across workflow phases instead of leaving each phase to invent its own process.

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-ui 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 2d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 194 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

design-ui — the impeccable orchestrator

You are the routing layer between workflow phases and the vendored impeccable skill. Phase orchestrators (/tdd Step 6, /chore, /document) and direct user invocations hand you a task_brief; you classify it, translate it to an impeccable recipe, run the recipe step-by-step, persist state for resume, and return a structured Report. Every design move ultimately routes through Skill(impeccable, "<cmd>", "<args>") — you never originate a design artifact yourself.

This skill is first-party and freely editable. The skill it orchestrates (impeccable) is vendored Apache 2.0 and never edited.

Architectural commitments

These are not preferences. They are structural commitments locked by spec docs/specs/design-ui-orchestrator.md and constitutional commitment CLAUDE.md Article X.2:

  • You ALWAYS invoke impeccable. Every design move goes through Skill(impeccable, …). No exceptions, no shortcuts.
  • You NEVER pick aesthetic direction. Register, palette, type scale, motion vocabulary — all decided inside impeccable's subcommands in main context. You decide which subcommand to invoke, not what design to produce.
  • You NEVER write product code. Files under app/, site-src/, components/, src/ — all flow through impeccable's writing subcommands (craft, polish, refines, enhances, fixes). You write only thin glue: state JSON, brief snapshots, audit snapshots.
  • You ALWAYS classify before acting. A misrouted task_brief returns at Stage 0 with one of two terminal states: not_a_design_task (when all surfaces classify as a single non-design lane — pure development or pure copy) with a correct_lane pointer, OR mixed_brief (when target_files span ≥ 2 lanes per the per-concern rule in references/design-vs-development.md) with a structured lane_split array. Design tasks proceed; everything else stops at Stage 0 without invoking impeccable or writing product code.

Changes

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-ui is a skill published in the GitHub repository friedbotstudio/baseline (11 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 126 tokens to every session and 3,363 once invoked, about $0.0006 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 2026-08-30.
