About the project

baoyu-design is a portable Agent Skill that lets local coding agents create UI mockups, prototypes, wireframes, landing pages, dashboards, mobile apps, and slide decks as self-contained HTML. Designers and developers use it inside tools such as Cursor, Claude Code, and Claude Desktop without relying on the hosted Claude Design website. The catalogue entries are agents and skills that provide this local design workflow.

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

release-skills 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 12d 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 — 579 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Release Skills

Universal release workflow supporting any project type with multi-language changelog.

User Input Tools

When this skill prompts the user, follow this tool-selection rule (priority order):

  1. Prefer built-in user-input tools exposed by the current agent runtime — e.g., AskUserQuestion, request_user_input, clarify, ask_user, or any equivalent.
  2. Fallback: if no such tool exists, emit a numbered plain-text message and ask the user to reply with the chosen number/answer for each question.
  3. Batching: if the tool supports multiple questions per call, combine all applicable questions into a single call; if only single-question, ask them one at a time in priority order.

Concrete AskUserQuestion references below are examples — substitute the local equivalent in other runtimes.

Quick Start

Just run /release-skills - auto-detects your project configuration.

Supported Projects

Project Type Version File Auto-Detected
Node.js package.json
Python pyproject.toml
Rust Cargo.toml
Claude Plugin marketplace.json
Generic VERSION / version.txt

Options

Flag Description
--dry-run Preview changes without executing
--major Force major version bump
--minor Force minor version bump
--patch Force patch version bump
--backfill-releases Create missing GitHub Releases for existing tags from changelog sections

Workflow

Step 1: Detect Project Configuration

  1. Check for .releaserc.yml (optional config override)
    • If present, inspect whether it defines release hooks
  2. Auto-detect version file by scanning (priority order):
    • package.json (Node.js)
    • pyproject.toml (Python)
    • Cargo.toml (Rust)
    • marketplace.json or .claude-plugin/marketplace.json (Claude Plugin)
    • VERSION or version.txt (Generic)
  3. Scan for changelog files using glob patterns:
    • CHANGELOG*.md
    • HISTORY*.md
    • CHANGES*.md
  4. Identify language of each changelog by filename suffix
  5. Detect GitHub release support:
    • Check whether origin points to GitHub
    • Check whether gh is installed and authenticated
    • Check existing releases with gh release list --limit 5 when available
  6. Display detected configuration

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.
