pilot

pilot is a skill for Claude Code from IamK77/Skill. It costs 37 tokens per session (671 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A dispatcher for visual-design work that directs a task to the appropriate design method or level. Its design areas include color, typography, layout, shapes, graphics, motion, and design systems.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a page, product, or interface looks wrong but the cause is unclear. It helps choose where to start and which design areas to address in sequence.
Why use it?
It helps identify whether a design problem is about one specific layer—such as color or type size—instead of starting an unnecessary full redesign. It also points to related methods when the task does not fit its design areas.

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

pilot 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 27d 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 — 46 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

pilot

Route atelier work to an execution SOP, a creative heuristic, or a direct answer. Use when the needed kind of help is unclear; do not impose a suite-wide pipeline.

Choose the kind of help

  • A chosen outcome needing steps, artifacts, and verification: suggest the smallest relevant SOP.
  • An open question, stuck framing, or desire for possibilities: suggest a heuristic. Explore rather than inspect every dimension.
  • A small factual, syntax, or local implementation question: answer directly; no skill is a valid choice.

Ask a short clarifying question only if the distinction changes the work. A router is an auxiliary entrypoint, not a third substantive skill category. It starts no run and requires no CLI to offer directions.

Map

Skill Kind Use
canon heuristic Generate visual points of view and unexpected design languages from a product’s tensions and meaning.
color heuristic Explore palette ideas through perception, material associations, temperature, and semantic relationships.
form heuristic Explore shape, depth, light, texture, and material metaphors for an interface.
graphics heuristic Invent imagery, iconography, illustration, and generative visual languages.
layout heuristic Invent spatial compositions through attention, rhythm, and alternative information metaphors.
motion heuristic Explore motion as rhythm, continuity, character, and narrative.
systems sop Turn a selected visual direction into versioned tokens, reusable components, and an inspectable handoff.
type heuristic Explore typographic voices, rhythm, and multilingual expression.

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.
