sigil-playbook

sigil-playbook is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Kevin-Liu-01/Sigil-UI. It costs 4 tokens per session (2,550 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A page-layout guide for the Sigil visual style, based on ten reusable composition patterns. It comes from the Reticle design system in the Dedalus monorepo, a repository that stores several related projects together.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when composing Sigil-style pages with grids, labels, borders, tabs, highlighted actions, numbers, featured content, and spacing rules.
Why use it?
It reduces the number of one-off layout decisions needed when building pages in this visual style and keeps new pages structurally consistent.

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

sigil-playbook 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.

Sigil Playbook — The Page Composition Skill

Read this before building any page in the Sigil aesthetic.

The Sigil Playbook codifies the small vocabulary of structural patterns that make any new page "just work." Originating from the Reticle design language (Dedalus monorepo), these 10 rules — 6 compositional moves + 4 supporting patterns — replace dozens of ad-hoc layout decisions.

Quick Reference: The 10 Rules

# Rule Component What It Does
1 Gap-Pixel Grid GapPixelGrid + GapPixelCell Hairline-divided cells via gap-px + bg-[var(--s-border)]
2 Mono-Uppercase Label MonoLabel font-mono text-[10px] uppercase tracking-[0.2em] for all chrome
3 Section Border Stack BorderStack Sections separated by border-t, not spacing or shadows
4 Accent Singleton AccentCTA + AccentActive One color breaks monochrome: primary fill + glow hover
5 Tabular-Nums TabularValue font-mono tabular-nums for prices, metrics, dates
6 Featured-Plus-Grid FeaturedGrid Hero item 2fr + side 1fr, then gap-px grid below
7 Density DNA DensityText Type scale: chrome 10px → body 14px → headline 2xl+
8 Frosted Panel FrostedPanel Drawers/navbars: bg/80 + backdrop-blur-lg with edge border
9 Card Cell CardCell Card for gap-pixel grids: display title, mono footer strip
10 The Universal Shell SigilFrame (existing) 5-column grid: margin | gutter | content | gutter | margin

The Universal Shell (Already Exists)

Every page inherits the same skeleton via SigilFrame/SigilPageGrid:

SigilFrame
  SigilPageGrid  [margin | gutter | content (max 1280px) | gutter | margin]
    sticky nav (frosted: bg/80 + backdrop-blur-lg)
    flex-1 content
    footer

New pages automatically get visible gutters, margin rails, and the content column. You never have to think about outer chrome — it's inherited.
