boring-ui: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/boring-app-setup/SKILL.md

boring-app-setup is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from hachej/boring-ui. It costs 79 tokens per session (636 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for building and deploying a new Boring UI app from an idea, including its app shape, identity, integrations, configuration, and smoke checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a real product shell, workspace prototype, or agent app and prepare it for deployment.
Why use it?
Starting an app requires decisions about architecture, services, authentication, deployment, and persistence. This organizes those decisions into a guided setup.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is hachej/boring-ui's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on boring-ui itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything boring-ui configures →

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

boring-app-setup 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 60 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Boring App Setup

Use this skill as a router first. Read the relevant reference file before answering architecture, provider, or plugin-shape questions.

Default rule

Default to apps/full-app for anything that should become a real product.

Use another base only when the user clearly wants:

  • apps/workspace-playground — plugin/workbench prototype
  • apps/agent-playground — chat/agent-only app

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.
