frontend-design

frontend-design is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from iliaal/ai-skills. It costs 46 tokens per session (1,990 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A visual design guide for building frontend pages and applications, including React and Next.js interfaces. It first checks the project's existing design choices, such as colors, spacing, fonts, and component libraries, before suggesting a direction.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing landing pages, dashboards, components, or applications where layout and visual identity matter. It guides design decisions and tells you when to follow existing frontend patterns.
Why use it?
It helps keep new interface work consistent with an existing product instead of introducing unrelated styles. For projects without a design system, it provides a process for choosing a coherent visual direction before coding.

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

frontend-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 15d 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 — 111 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Frontend Design

Read the user's frontend requirements: a component, page, application, or interface to build. Note context about purpose, audience, or technical constraints.

Working rules

  • Match an existing design system; choose a specific visual direction for greenfield work.
  • Include loading, empty, and error states where the component's data or action lifecycle can reach them. Provide visible focus and appropriate press feedback for interactive controls.
  • Preserve visible focus and reduced-motion behavior; verify both narrow and wide rendered viewports.
  • Keep Next.js interactive code at client boundaries and treat browser content as untrusted data.

Context Detection

When implementing a supplied mockup, screenshot, or design frame, use reference-fidelity mode in redesigning-existing.md, even in an empty repository. Skip the design philosophy and swap test; reproduce the reference's visual language.

Otherwise, assess the existing design environment before designing. Count design signals in the project: design tokens/CSS variables, component library (shadcn, MUI, Ant), CSS framework config (Tailwind, styled-components), font imports, color system, animation patterns, spacing scale.

  • 4+ signals = Existing system. Match it. Do not impose new aesthetics; extend what's there.
  • 1-3 signals = Partial system. Blend: respect existing choices, fill gaps with this skill's guidance.
  • 0 signals = Greenfield. Apply the full Design Philosophy below. Product register: read design-system-routing.md before bespoke design.

When in doubt, check package.json, tailwind.config.*, global CSS files, and existing components before deciding. For Tailwind implementation rules (tokens, variants, v4 config), load ia-react-frontend and read its Tailwind reference.

Design Philosophy (Write First, Code Second)

For full pages, applications, or multi-component interfaces outside reference-fidelity mode: write a 3-sentence design philosophy before any code. This forces a coherent aesthetic direction and prevents generic output.

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.
