hecate-ui

hecate-ui is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from hecatehq/hecate. It costs 43 tokens per session (13,615 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Instructions for working on the Hecate operator interface, a React and Vite web application used to control, inspect, and debug runtimes. They define the project’s tools, design rules, workflows, and checks for finished UI work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when modifying files inside the project’s ui/ directory, especially for runtime controls, debugging views, and inspection tools.
Why use it?
They help keep frontend changes consistent with Hecate’s operator-console purpose and existing codebase conventions.

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

hecate-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 5d 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.

Hecate UI skill

Use this skill for any work inside ui/. Backend work uses ../backend/SKILL.md.

Canonical guidance lives here

Product lens

The Hecate UI should feel like:

  • An operator console.
  • A runtime control surface.
  • A debugging and inspection tool.

It should not feel like:

  • A generic SaaS dashboard full of cards.
  • A landing page with product-marketing copy.
  • A toy chat surface without production context.

Default to utility, orientation, and workflow clarity.

Visual thesis

Calm, technical, and deliberate. Dense enough to be useful, sparse enough to scan. Strong hierarchy, minimal chrome, one clear accent system.

Prefer restrained layout, strong type hierarchy, clear sectioning without over-carding, obvious status and health states, meaningful spacing over decorative surfaces.

Avoid card mosaics, oversized hero copy, decorative gradients behind routine product UI, multiple accent colors fighting for attention, visual noise that hides runtime state.

Consistency guardrails

Before adding or changing UI, find the closest existing precedent and reuse it unless the product behavior truly differs. Hecate's UX should feel like one operator console, not a set of unrelated experiments.

  • Reuse shared primitives for recurring patterns: DropdownPicker, BrandAvatar, CopyableID, TranscriptActivityTimeline, badges, inline errors, and modal/slide-over chrome.
  • Keep button height, dropdown rhythm, icon treatment, metadata labels, empty-state spacing, and hover/focus affordances consistent across Chats, Tasks, Connections, Observability, and Usage.
  • Long machine identifiers belong behind compact labels with tooltip + copy affordances. Prefer full context in Details or Task Detail over leaking raw ids into list rows.
  • If a screen already has an empty, loading, repair, or onboarding precedent, extend that component/copy path instead of adding a second parallel state.
  • When making Hecate Chat and External Agent behavior more similar, preserve their real runtime differences: Hecate owns task-backed tools; external agents own ACP-native sessions.
  • Add role/name-based tests for shared controls and view-level tests for every state that previously regressed. E2E should cover cross-view navigation, onboarding, and setup/repair flows when a bug came from app composition.
  • Before filing a PR or pushing a PR update that touches UI/TypeScript, run the UI verification ladder: cd ui && bun run typecheck, bun run lint, bun run format:check, and bun run test. Add same-change tests for production UI code, and targeted Playwright coverage when the change is a workflow, routing, onboarding, or regression fix. If Go files changed too, run the backend ladder as well.

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.
