transpose

A user-experience design skill for adapting a product to a different platform or situation, such as moving from desktop to mobile, web to TV, or a visual interface to voice. It rethinks interactions and priorities for the new context instead of only changing the layout.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when planning multi-device products, moving to a new platform, auditing cross-platform experiences, or designing for TVs, kiosks, voice interfaces, and embedded products.
Why use it?
A design that works on one device may not suit another device, input method, screen size, or user situation. This helps identify what to add, remove, or redesign for the target context.

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

transpose 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.

Transpose — Adapt Across Contexts

Overview

Responsive design is a layout concern. Transposition is a UX concern.

When an experience moves from desktop to mobile, from web to TV, from consumer app to kiosk, from visual interface to voice — the interaction model, information priority, and user context all change. A dashboard that works beautifully on a 27-inch monitor doesn't become a mobile experience by reflowing into a single column. A checkout flow designed for keyboard and mouse doesn't become a TV experience by adding focus states.

Transposition means rethinking the experience for each context, not shrinking it to fit. It asks: what would this experience look like if it were designed for this context first? What would we add? What would we never have included? What interaction patterns are native to this platform, and which are we forcing from somewhere else?

When to activate this skill: Moving a product to a new platform, planning multi-device strategy, auditing cross-platform UX, designing for non-standard contexts (TV, kiosk, voice, embedded), or anytime someone says "just make it responsive" and the problem is bigger than layout.


Skill family

Transpose works alongside the full Intent skill system:

  • /journey: Your flows need to work across the contexts transpose identifies. A checkout flow on desktop is not the same journey on mobile or voice — journey designs the sequence, transpose ensures it fits the context.
  • /organize: Navigation structure may fundamentally change per context. Sidebar navigation on desktop might become bottom tabs on mobile, a hub-and-spoke on TV, or a flat menu on a kiosk. Organize provides the IA; transpose adapts it.
  • /include: Cross-context design IS inclusive design. Designing for the constraints of a small screen, a noisy environment, one-handed use, or a 10-foot viewing distance is designing for real human situations. Include ensures accessibility; transpose ensures contextual fit.
  • /fortify: Different contexts have different failure modes. Mobile loses connectivity. TV remotes run out of batteries. Kiosks get touched by greasy fingers. Fortify maps the failure modes; transpose maps the contexts where they occur.
  • /blueprint: System architecture must support multi-context delivery. APIs need to serve different data shapes. State sync needs infrastructure. Blueprint maps the system; transpose defines what each context needs from it.
  • /philosopher: A cross-cutting cognitive mode for sitting with transposition problems before jumping to solutions. Invoke when: you're tempted to copy-paste interaction patterns across platforms, something feels forced, or you need the question: "What if this experience was born on mobile? What would we never have added?"

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.
