ui-design-quality is a skill for Codex from JakubMikolajek/codex-skills-collection. It costs 46 tokens per session (6,153 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for making interfaces visually coherent and intentional through typography, colors, spacing, animation, and small interaction details. It can be applied across frontend frameworks, including React and Vue.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing or reviewing UI components, design systems, visual foundations, animations, and frontend presentation.
Why use it?
It helps avoid generic-looking interfaces and gives visual decisions a consistent basis during implementation or polishing.

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-quality 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 9d 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.

Design Taste

This skill enforces intentional, high-quality visual design decisions across frontend implementations. It provides concrete rules for typography, color, spacing, motion, and micro-interactions — preventing generic "AI slop" output and ensuring every visual choice is deliberate and refined.

When to Use

  • Building new UI components that require visual design decisions (color, typography, spacing, animation)
  • Implementing animations, transitions, or micro-interactions for any frontend component
  • Creating or extending a design system, design tokens, or visual foundations
  • Polishing existing UI for production — improving visual quality, consistency, and feel
  • Reviewing UI code for design quality issues

When NOT to Use

  • Pure backend, API, or infrastructure work — use the appropriate domain skill
  • Pixel-perfect matching against an existing, complete design spec — use ui-verification instead
  • Performance-only optimization with no visual changes — use performance-profiling

Design Parameters

Three tunable parameters allow calibrating the visual direction. Set at the start of a task or use defaults.

Design Parameters (defaults: VARIANCE=5, MOTION=6, DENSITY=4):
- DESIGN_VARIANCE (1–10): 1 = Strict symmetry, grid-locked → 10 = Asymmetric, editorial, experimental
- MOTION_INTENSITY (1–10): 1 = Static, minimal transitions → 10 = Rich physics, spring animations, gestures
- VISUAL_DENSITY (1–10): 1 = Airy, generous whitespace → 10 = Dense, data-rich, information-packed

How parameters affect decisions:

Parameter Low (1–3) Mid (4–7) High (8–10)
VARIANCE Centered layouts, uniform grid, symmetric Subtle asymmetry, varied section rhythms Bold asymmetry, editorial layouts, experimental composition
MOTION CSS transitions only, minimal stagger Custom easing, enter/exit animations, stagger Spring physics, gestures, layout animations, parallax
DENSITY Art gallery feel, generous padding, large whitespace Balanced content-to-space ratio Dashboard-like, compact cards, dense data presentation
