using-humane

using-humane is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from glebis/humane-agentic-design. It costs 157 tokens per session (1,415 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A routing skill for humane design work. It reads each skill's declared handoffs to determine which skill should start a task and what should follow it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start design tasks with the appropriate humane skill and identify the next skill after a design step finishes.
Why use it?
It avoids choosing design skills from memory or sending unrelated tasks through the wrong process. The routing rules come from the skills' own metadata.

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

using-humane 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/graph.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 92 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Using humane

Announce at start: "I'm using the humane:using-humane skill to route this to the skill that owns it."

Scope

This skill routes design work. It does not claim authority over unrelated tasks — a bug fix, a deploy, or a shell question has no humane owner, and routing one here is a false positive. If nothing below matches, say so and move on rather than stretching a design skill over a non-design task.

The two questions it answers

"Where do I start?" — match the intent to an entry point (table below).

"I just finished X, what now?" — do not recall the cycle from memory. Ask the graph:

python3 scripts/graph.py --from layout-rules   # what it hands to, and when
python3 scripts/graph.py --to ux-writing       # who hands in here, and when
python3 scripts/graph.py                       # the whole graph
python3 scripts/graph.py --mermaid             # the graph as a diagram

The script reads the frontmatter of every skill in the plugin. It is stdlib-only and has no dependencies, so it runs anywhere the plugin is checked out.

Entry points

The user says Start with Not with
"something's missing / nothing works / fresh machine" humane:setup anything else — it diagnoses first
"what should I build", "what are people hiring this for" humane:jtbd a review skill; there is nothing to review yet
"mock this up", "show me the flow", "wireframe this" humane:prototype humane:design-tokens — the structure is not settled yet
"we need a brand / an identity" humane:brandkit humane:design-tokens — the tokens do not exist yet
"set up tokens", "compile to CSS", "check contrast" humane:design-tokens humane:layout-rules, which only flags the pair
"pick a font", "does this font have Cyrillic" humane:type-specimen humane:design-tokens, until a family is chosen
"generate on-brand images" humane:brand-illustrate humane:brandkit, which explores rather than produces
"what should this button say", "rewrite this error" humane:ux-writing
"how does this land", "test this tagline" humane:respondent-panel humane:persona-review — strangers, not experts

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.

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.
