jp-frontend-design

jp-frontend-design is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jdpalumbo2/workbench. It costs 62 tokens per session (1,019 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A design workflow for building or restyling user-facing interfaces such as web apps, dashboards, and prototypes. It sets visual decisions before component or stylesheet code is written.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to propose visual directions, choose one, define reusable design tokens, and guide the implementation of a new or redesigned interface.
Why use it?
It helps avoid interfaces that look generic or like an unexamined template. The process makes typography, colors, spacing, and the overall visual direction deliberate.

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

jp-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.

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.

JP Frontend Design

Overview

Unconstrained generation regresses to the statistical mean of every UI ever made — templated, forgettable, instantly recognizable as AI output. Constraints get set BEFORE code. Design is a sequence of deliberate, subject-grounded choices, and this skill is the sequence.

Companions (load if available): a craft-level design skill (e.g. Anthropic's frontend-design) alongside this one; a dataviz skill before any chart. This skill governs the ORDER of work.

The sequence (do these in order — no component code before step 2 exists)

  1. Brief. Propose 3 distinct visual directions: each gets a name, 3 mood words, a typography pairing, a color story, and one thing it deliberately avoids. Slop-test each: would a generic version of this prompt produce the same direction? If yes, replace it. The user picks or remixes. Working autonomously? Pick the direction most grounded in the subject's own world and say so — never the safest.
  2. Tokens file. One tokens.css / theme config before any component: semantic color names, type scale, spacing scale, radii, shadows. Every component consumes only tokens. This file is where taste lives — tweaks happen here, not in components, and a hand-edit to 30 lines of variables restyles the whole app.
  3. References (when given). Screenshots get analyzed first — "what creates the hierarchy, density, spacing rhythm, type character" — then the findings go into the tokens. Analyze-then-build, never clone.
  4. One hero screen to full polish. Not a scaffold of every page. One screen, finished, embodying the brief's signature element.
  5. Screenshot critique loop — minimum 2 rounds. Render it, screenshot at desktop AND mobile widths (browser MCP / Playwright / DevTools), then critique both images as a senior product designer: 10 specific problems across hierarchy, spacing, typography, color; fix; re-shoot. Quality floor each round: responsive at mobile width, visible keyboard focus, prefers-reduced-motion respected. Models critique rendered output far better than they design blind — the loop is where quality actually happens.
  6. Scale out. Only after the hero passes: "extend this system" to remaining screens. Coherence comes from the tokens + finished exemplar.

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.
