better-ui

better-ui is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from iurysza/android-use. It costs 103 tokens per session (1,844 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of better-ui, MIT.

A set of design and implementation guidelines for polished user interfaces. It covers visual details and interaction states such as hover, focus, loading, motion, borders, shadows, and icons.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building or reviewing frontend components, animations, hover states, micro-interactions, and other visual details.
Why use it?
It helps catch small visual and interaction problems that can make an interface feel unfinished or inconsistent.

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

better-ui 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 116 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Details that make interfaces feel better

Great interfaces rarely come from a single thing. It's usually a collection of small details that compound into a great experience. Apply these principles when building or reviewing UI code.

When reviewing, slow the interface down: replay motion at 10% speed in the browser's Animations panel and walk every state: hover, focus, active, loading, empty. What feels off at 10% speed is what's subtly wrong at full speed.

Preserve the project's component library, tokens, and density. Match its established motion language except where a principle below prescribes an exact interaction pattern.

Typography (text wrapping, font rendering, tabular numbers, spacing) is covered by the better-typography skill; use that for anything text-related. Accessibility (hit areas, focus states, keyboard support, ARIA, reduced motion) is covered by the better-accessibility skill. Layout structure (grouping, spacing between sections, breakpoints, spatial RTL) is covered by the better-layout skill.

Quick Reference

Category When to Use
Surfaces Border radius, optical alignment, shadows, image outlines
Animations Interruptible transitions, scale on press, skipping animation on page load, theme switching, motion restraint
Enter & Exit Staged entrances, stagger timing, exit transitions
Icon Transitions Cross-fading an icon on state change, with and without a motion library
Icons Icon stroke weight, states via currentColor, outline vs fill, sizing, RTL flipping
Performance Transition specificity, will-change usage
Review Output Format Severity scale, findings table, verification, verdict

Core Principles

1. Concentric Border Radius

Outer radius = inner radius + padding. Mismatched radii on nested elements is the most common thing that makes interfaces feel off.

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.
