audio-plugin-ui-ux

audio-plugin-ui-ux is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Hornfisk/plugindev-plugin. It costs 110 tokens per session (857 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for designing and reviewing audio-plugin interfaces, including controls, meters, signal displays, presets, and screen scaling. Audio plugins are tools that run inside music software, so their interfaces need different choices than websites.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing, changing, or reviewing an audio-plugin interface. It covers knob and meter layouts, signal-flow displays, modulation views, presets, A/B comparison, scaling, and visual checks.
Why use it?
It helps avoid interfaces that are hard to read, control, or use while making music. It also provides a checklist for checking the interface before the work is considered finished.

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

audio-plugin-ui-ux 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.

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 — 71 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Audio Plugin UI/UX

Core principle

Audio plugins are real-time, performance-critical, mouse-and-keyboard instruments living inside someone else's host. They are not websites. Defaults imported from web/mobile UX (large hit areas, hover-reveal everything, generous whitespace, animation everywhere) frequently make plugins worse. Reason from first principles for this medium.

When to use

  • Designing or modifying a plugin's GUI in any framework
  • Laying out knobs, faders, meters, segment displays, chassis
  • Choosing a typography / color / skeuomorphism stance
  • Reviewing UI work before committing
  • Implementing presets, A/B compare, modulation visualisation, DPI scaling
  • Establishing or honouring the developer's house style (Hyperfocus DSP / REXIST)

Mandatory workflow

  1. Read guidelines.md in this skill directory before designing or modifying any plugin UI.
  2. Cite specific rules (P1.3, L2.4, C4.1, H5.2, R7.4) when justifying decisions in commits, PR descriptions, or your responses to the user.
  3. Run the §8 pre-completion checklist in guidelines.md before claiming UI work is done.
  4. Surface conflicts between guidelines.md and the current task to the user before acting. Never silently override.

Hard rules (excerpt — full list in §7 of guidelines.md)

  • Never move a user-approved knob row without explicit request.
  • Never auto-shrink text to fit — fix the layout instead.
  • Never claim UI work is done without running and visually verifying.
  • Never mix skeuomorphic and flat controls in the same plugin.
  • Never use pure #FFFFFF as the brand highlight; use bone #F4F1EA.
  • Never invent or alter plugin names, parameter names, brand marks, or version numbers.
  • Never overload a modifier key silently (must be discoverable via tooltip or docs).
  • Never use linear frequency axes for spectrum displays — log only.
  • Always render values with units, no bare numbers.
  • Always provide both double-click reset and Cmd/Ctrl-click reset.
  • Always integer-scale baked assets across DPI; don't re-flow at different scales.
  • Always group with proximity before bounding boxes.

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.
