What is ui-translation?

A translator from plain-language interface descriptions into code using the Iress Design System, a shared library of interface parts and design rules.

Use it to build forms, pages, layouts, buttons, fields, cards, dialogs, and responsive arrangements with Iress components.

It helps turn a requested page, form, or layout into consistent code based on the available design-system parts.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00071	$0.03529
Opus 5.5	$0.00028	$0.01412
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00014	$0.00706
Haiku 4.5	$0.00007	$0.00353

Security

Grade A, and why

ui-translation 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 2mo 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.

Skill: UI Translation

Purpose

Translate natural language UI descriptions into IDS (Iress Design System) component implementations using @iress-oss/ids-components and @iress-oss/ids-tokens.

Translation Workflow

Identify the UI elements — Break the description into components: actions (buttons), inputs (fields), layout (stacks, grids), content (text, cards), overlays (modals, slideouts), navigation
Map to IDS components — Use the component mapping to find the right IDS component for each element
Verify component capabilities — Before recommending a component, read its .ai/components/<name>.md doc (in node_modules/@iress-oss/ids-components/.ai/components/) to verify it supports the required features (async, filtering, validation, etc.)
Apply layout — Wrap elements in IressStack (vertical), IressInline (horizontal), or IressRow/IressCol (grid) only when needed. Check whether the parent component already provides layout (e.g. card footer, modal actions, button group) before adding wrappers. Never wrap a single child in a layout component. Always make grids responsive with span={{ xs: 12, md: ... }}
Add responsive behaviour — Even if the description only mentions desktop, stack columns on mobile and relocate secondary content to IressSlideout or collapsible sections
Apply styling — Use styling props for spacing, colour, and typography. Spacing tokens must include the category prefix: gap="spacing.4", p="spacing.6". Alias tokens ("xs", "sm", "md", "lg", "xl") are also valid. Never use bare numbers like gap="4".
Verify output — Check that all imports resolve, no raw HTML is used where IDS components exist, grid layouts use responsive span values, and no common anti-patterns are present (disabled buttons, slot attributes, redundant textStyle)

Setup

Important: IDS v6 is currently in beta. Install with the @beta tag:
npm install @iress-oss/ids-components@beta
# If using tokens directly:
npm install @iress-oss/ids-tokens@beta

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
