frontend-design

frontend-design is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ivanshtokov/copilot-kit. It costs 37 tokens per session (2,907 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of frontend-design, MIT.

Design guidance for building web interfaces, including components, page layouts, colors, typography, and visual effects. It focuses on making deliberate design decisions based on user needs rather than following fixed recipes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when planning or reviewing a website's visual structure, color palette, type choices, motion, effects, or overall user experience.
Why use it?
It gives developers a way to reason about an interface before choosing styles or components. It also prompts them to clarify open-ended design choices and check usability and accessibility.

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

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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/accessibility_checker.py, scripts/ux_audit.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 396 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Frontend Design System

Philosophy: Every pixel has purpose. Restraint is luxury. User psychology drives decisions. Core Principle: THINK, don't memorize. ASK, don't assume.


🎯 Selective Reading Rule (MANDATORY)

Read REQUIRED files always, OPTIONAL only when needed:

File Status When to Read
ux-psychology.md 🔴 REQUIRED Always read first!
color-system.md ⚪ Optional Color/palette decisions
typography-system.md ⚪ Optional Font selection/pairing
visual-effects.md ⚪ Optional Glassmorphism, shadows, gradients
animation-guide.md ⚪ Optional Animation needed
motion-graphics.md ⚪ Optional Lottie, GSAP, 3D
decision-trees.md ⚪ Optional Context templates

🔴 ux-psychology.md = ALWAYS READ. Others = only if relevant.


🔧 Runtime Scripts

Execute these for audits (don't read, just run):

Script Purpose Usage
scripts/ux_audit.py UX Psychology & Accessibility Audit python scripts/ux_audit.py <project_path>

⚠️ CRITICAL: ASK BEFORE ASSUMING (MANDATORY)

STOP! If the user's request is open-ended, DO NOT default to your favorites.

When User Prompt is Vague, ASK:

Color not specified? Ask:

"What color palette do you prefer? (blue/green/orange/neutral/other?)"

Style not specified? Ask:

"What style are you going for? (minimal/bold/retro/futuristic/organic?)"

Layout not specified? Ask:

"Do you have a layout preference? (single column/grid/asymmetric/full-width?)"

⛔ DEFAULT TENDENCIES TO AVOID (ANTI-SAFE HARBOR):

AI Default Tendency Why It's Bad Think Instead
Bento Grids (Modern Cliché) Used in every AI design Why does this content NEED a grid?
Hero Split (Left/Right) Predictable & Boring How about Massive Typography or Vertical Narrative?
Mesh/Aurora Gradients The "new" lazy background What's a radical color pairing?
Glassmorphism AI's idea of "premium" How about solid, high-contrast flat?
Deep Cyan / Fintech Blue Safe harbor from purple ban Why not Red, Black, or Neon Green?
"Orchestrate / Empower" AI-generated copywriting How would a human say this?
Dark background + neon glow Overused, "AI look" What does the BRAND actually need?
Rounded everything Generic/Safe Where can I use sharp, brutalist edges?

What ships with it

9 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.
