ui_ux_mastery

ui_ux_mastery is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jxoesneon/Ciel. It costs 0 tokens per session (906 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of rules and tools for designing and checking user interfaces, the screens people use. It covers shared design rules, accessibility, loading states, performance, dark mode, and interfaces for AI-assisted software.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define component styles, design grid layouts, audit markup against WCAG accessibility guidelines, set web performance targets, and choose loading, recovery, and mobile-touch layouts.
Why use it?
It helps teams apply consistent visual and interaction decisions and find usability, accessibility, and speed problems before release. Accessibility means making software usable by people with different abilities.

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_ux_mastery 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.

ui_ux_mastery

Generate and audit UI/UX artifacts against the Design Council standards (council/rubrics/UI_UX_MASTERY_STANDARDS.md).

Operations

  • ui.design_system(spec) — Tailwind v4 @theme tokens (base → semantic → component) and shadcn/ui component specs.
  • ui.bento_grid(layout_schema) — intent-based Bento Grid layout (Hero/Utility/Micro-Data tiers) via CSS Grid.
  • ui.accessibility_audit(markup) — WCAG 2.2 AA/AAA verification (9 new success criteria) with WCAG 3.0 forward readiness.
  • ui.performance_budget() — Core Web Vitals field data thresholds (INP ≤ 200ms, LCP ≤ 2.5s, CLS ≤ 0.1 at 75th percentile).
  • ui.agentic_ux() — 6-pattern control surface (Intent Preview, Autonomy Dial, Rationale, Confidence, Receipts, Audit Trail).
  • ui.thumb_zone(layout) — dominant-hand functional area placement; destructive actions outside easy reach.
  • ui.recovery_pattern(action) — select recovery pattern (confirmation dialog / undo window / soft delete) by reversibility.
  • ui.loading_strategy(duration_ms) — loading state by duration (nothing < 400ms, skeleton 400ms–3s, progress 3–10s, bar > 10s).
  • ui.dark_mode() — OKLCH four-surface luminance hierarchy (base → raised → overlay → nested).
  • ui.micro_interaction(trigger) — spring-physics feedback (mass, stiffness, damping) in 100–400ms range.
  • ui.anti_slop_audit(markup) — detect distributional convergence (centroid look: Inter, purple gradient, three cards, emoji icons) and flag AI slop patterns.
  • ui.craft_signals(artifact) — attach C2PA provenance metadata, generate process documentation, and verify visible effort signals.

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.
