Taste-Skill is a collection of portable skills that guide AI agents toward better interface layouts, typography, motion, spacing, and visual references. It is used with coding agents such as Codex, Cursor, and Claude Code when building frontends. The catalogue entries are its own skills, instructions, and plugin for applying these design workflows.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00057 | $0.01928 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00028 | $0.00964 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00386 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00193 |
Grade A, and why
industrial-brutalist-ui 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.

SKILL: Industrial Brutalism & Tactical Telemetry UI
1. Skill Meta
Name: Industrial Brutalism & Tactical Telemetry Interface Engineering Description: Advanced proficiency in architecting web interfaces that synthesize mid-century Swiss Typographic design, industrial manufacturing manuals, and retro-futuristic aerospace/military terminal interfaces. This discipline requires absolute mastery over rigid modular grids, extreme typographic scale contrast, purely utilitarian color palettes, and the programmatic simulation of analog degradation (halftones, CRT scanlines, bitmap dithering). The objective is to construct digital environments that project raw functionality, mechanical precision, and high data density, deliberately discarding conventional consumer UI patterns.
2. Visual Archetypes
The design system operates by merging two distinct but highly compatible visual paradigms. Pick ONE per project and commit to it. Do not alternate or mix both modes within the same interface.
2.1 Swiss Industrial Print
Derived from 1960s corporate identity systems and heavy machinery blueprints.
- Characteristics: High-contrast light modes (newsprint/off-white substrates). Reliance on monolithic, heavy sans-serif typography. Unforgiving structural grids outlined by visible dividing lines. Aggressive, asymmetric use of negative space punctuated by oversized, viewport-bleeding numerals or letterforms. Heavy use of primary red as an alert/accent color.
2.2 Tactical Telemetry & CRT Terminal
Derived from classified military databases, legacy mainframes, and aerospace Heads-Up Displays (HUDs).
- Characteristics: Dark mode exclusivity. High-density tabular data presentation. Absolute dominance of monospaced typography. Integration of technical framing devices (ASCII brackets, crosshairs). Application of simulated hardware limitations (phosphor glow, scanlines, low bit-depth rendering).
3. Typographic Architecture
Typography is the primary structural and decorative infrastructure. Imagery is secondary. The system demands extreme variance in scale, weight, and spacing.
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.

industrial-brutalist-ui is a skill published in the GitHub repository Leonxlnx/taste-skill (85,585 stars, last pushed 15d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 57 tokens to every session and 1,928 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
