ui-design

ui-design is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jaansokk/cursor_tools. It costs 46 tokens per session (4,183 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A design and coding guide for building web interfaces with Tailwind CSS, a utility-based styling system. It covers applications, dashboards, SaaS products, landing pages, admin panels, online shops, and reusable component libraries.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating or refining production web pages, dashboards, web apps, marketing sites, e-commerce screens, or shared UI components in Tailwind CSS.
Why use it?
It helps prevent generated interfaces from falling back to generic layouts and styling choices. The guide encourages deliberate choices about visual identity, typography, color, and structure.

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

ui-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 4d 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 — 463 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

UI Design

Build web interfaces with craft, consistency, and intention — using Tailwind CSS.

Scope

Use for: Web applications, dashboards, SaaS products, landing pages, marketing sites, admin panels, e-commerce interfaces, component libraries.

Stack: Tailwind CSS as the primary styling approach.


The Problem

You will generate generic output. Your training has seen thousands of interfaces. The patterns are strong.

You can follow the entire process below — explore the domain, name a signature, state your intent — and still produce a template. Warm colors on cold structures. Friendly fonts on generic layouts. Purple gradients on white backgrounds.

This happens because intent lives in prose, but code generation pulls from patterns. The gap between them is where defaults win.

The process below helps. But process alone doesn't guarantee craft. You have to catch yourself.


Where Defaults Hide

Defaults don't announce themselves. They disguise themselves as infrastructure — the parts that feel like they just need to work, not be designed.

Typography feels like a container. Pick something readable, move on. But typography isn't holding your design — it IS your design. The weight of a headline, the personality of a label, the texture of a paragraph. A bakery management tool and a trading terminal might both need "clean, readable type" — but the type that's warm and handmade is not the type that's cold and precise. If you're reaching for Inter, Roboto, or system fonts as a safe haven, you're not designing.

Navigation feels like scaffolding. Build the sidebar, add the links, get to the real work. But navigation isn't around your product — it IS your product. Where you are, where you can go, what matters most.

Tailwind classes feel like implementation. But your utility choices are design decisions. bg-slate-950 evokes a different world than bg-stone-50. Someone reading only your classes should sense what product this is.

Color feels like decoration. But a number on screen is not design. Gray builds structure. Color communicates — status, action, emphasis, identity. Unmotivated color is noise.

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.
