Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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 | $0.02197 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00028 | $0.00879 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00014 | $0.00439 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00220 |
Grade A, and why
kernel-chat-web-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 1mo 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.

Kernel Chat Web Design
Overview
This skill encodes the visual grammar, interaction constraints, styling tokens, and publishing guidelines of kernel.chat. It serves as the single source of truth for creating editorial magazine issues that honor the POPEYE-inspired warmth while remaining calm, accessible, and scientifically honest.
Skill Routing
Use this skill as the implementation and publication contract. Pair it with the specialist that matches the phase:
- Use
$kernel-chat-art-directionbefore implementation when the visual concept, cover, composition, type hierarchy, asset grammar, or responsive transformation is not yet resolved. - Use
$motion-design,$micro-interactions, or the relevant GSAP skill when motion requires detailed choreography beyond the house constraints below. - Use
$kernel-chat-design-qaafter implementation for rendered desktop/mobile inspection, accessibility and motion checks, print proof, and live-production verification.
Do not collapse these phases into a single styling pass. Art direction decides the visual argument; this skill implements it in the house system; design QA proves the result.
The House Grammar
kernel.chat is an editorial magazine, not an application. Every release is named ISSUE N · MONTH YEAR.
Voice & Copy Constraints
- Never name the inspiration on the site. No mention of "POPEYE" in user-visible copy. Homage is carried entirely through grammar.
- Magazine terminology only. Use terms like issue, feature, spread, folio, kicker, monument, colophon, masthead, dateline, bulletin. Do not use app terms like dashboard, panel, card, widget, modal.
- Typography. EB Garamond for prose, Courier Prime for metadata, Noto Serif JP for Japanese subtitles and parallel text.
- Bilingual Lockups. EN-primary with selective JP subtitles/lockups (
.pop-bilingual > .pop-latin / .pop-jp). - No Emojis. Use the star/asterisk symbol (★) as the single recurring folio system glyph.
What ships with it
7 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.
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.

kernel-chat-web-design is a skill published in the GitHub repository isaacsight/kernel (16 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 71 tokens to every session and 2,197 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
