common-ui-design

common-ui-design is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from HoangNguyen0403/agent-skills-standard. It costs 47 tokens per session (732 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of common-ui-design, MIT.

A set of design rules for building distinctive production web interfaces, from pages and dashboards to reusable components, in any frontend framework.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing or building frontend screens and components, including React, Vue, Angular, Next.js, or plain HTML and CSS interfaces.
Why use it?
It prevents implementation from starting with arbitrary styling by requiring decisions about purpose, audience, tone, typography, color, and motion first.

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

common-ui-design 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 yesterday.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (common-stitch-design/scripts/audit_html.js, common-stitch-design/scripts/audit_html.test.js), 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.

UI Design Direction

Priority: P0 (CRITICAL)

Before writing any code, commit to deliberate aesthetic direction.

Phase 0: Design Thinking (Mandatory Pre-Code)

Answer these before touching implementation:

  1. Purpose: What problem this UI solve? Who uses it?
  2. Tone: Pick one extreme and commit — brutally minimal | maximalist | retro-futuristic | editorial/magazine | luxury/refined | brutalist/raw | playful/toy-like | organic/natural | art deco | industrial/utilitarian
  3. Differentiation: Name one thing user will remember about this interface.

Bold maximalism and refined minimalism both work — intentionality, not intensity, key.

Aesthetic Dimensions

Typography

  • Pair distinctive display font + refined body font; never default to system fonts.
  • Self-host via next/font, @font-face, or Google Fonts API — never CDN <link> in production.
  • See Font Pairing & Tone Examples

Color & Theme

  • Dominant color + sharp accent > timid, evenly-distributed palettes.
  • Use CSS custom properties (--color-primary, --color-accent) for consistency.
  • Commit: dark or light — don't default to light because it feels "safe".

Motion

  • One well-orchestrated entrance (staggered reveals, animation-delay) > scattered micro-interactions.
  • CSS-first: @keyframes, transition, animation-delay; React: Motion library for complex sequences.
  • See Motion Patterns

Spatial Composition

  • Break grid intentionally: asymmetry, overlap, diagonal flow, grid-breaking elements.
  • Generous negative space OR controlled density — never accidental middleground.

Backgrounds & Depth

  • Create atmosphere: gradient meshes, noise textures, layered transparencies, grain overlays.
  • Dramatic shadows and decorative borders should match chosen tone.
  • Solid white/gray backgrounds = missed creative opportunity.

Anti-Patterns

  • No generic font defaults: Inter/Roboto/Arial/system-ui produce forgettable UIs; choose characterful fonts.
  • No purple-gradient-on-white: Most overused AI aesthetic; commit to something context-specific.
  • No scattered animations: One orchestrated entrance beats ten random hover effects.
  • No accidental layouts: Every spacing and positioning decision must serve aesthetic intent.
  • No same aesthetic twice: Vary light/dark, font style, tone — never converge on single style.

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.
