absolute-ui

absolute-ui is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from maddhruv/absolute. It costs 121 tokens per session (6,059 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A design guide for building user interfaces such as buttons, forms, dashboards, landing pages, and navigation with specific choices for fonts, colours, spacing, layout, accessibility, dark mode, and motion.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating or styling web screens and components, choosing typography or colours, adding dark mode, checking accessibility, or designing interactions.
Why use it?
It replaces vague styling advice with concrete values and reusable patterns, helping interfaces look consistent and deliberately designed.

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

absolute-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 4d 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.

Absolute UI

A comprehensive design system knowledge base for building UIs that feel crafted by a senior designer, not generated by a prompt. This skill encodes specific, opinionated rules - exact spacing values, proven color ratios, real typography scales, and battle-tested component patterns. Every recommendation is actionable with concrete CSS/Tailwind values, not vague advice like "make it clean."

The difference between AI slop and a polished UI comes down to constraint and restraint - fewer colors used with intention, consistent spacing from a scale, typography that creates hierarchy without screaming, and micro-interactions that feel responsive without being distracting.


When to use this skill

Trigger this skill when the user:

  • Asks to build or style a UI component (button, card, form, table, nav)
  • Needs help with layout, spacing, or grid decisions
  • Wants to implement dark mode or theme switching
  • Asks about typography, font choices, or text styling
  • Needs accessible and WCAG-compliant designs
  • Wants landing page, onboarding, or conversion-focused layouts
  • Asks about animations, transitions, or micro-interactions
  • Needs help with responsive design or mobile navigation
  • Wants feedback patterns (toasts, tooltips, loading states)
  • Asks to make something "look better" or "more professional"

Do NOT trigger this skill for:

  • Backend logic, API design, or database schema questions
  • Brand identity or logo design (this is implementation, not branding)

Read config first

Before writing any markup or CSS, read cached config: if .absolute.config.json or ~/.absolute/config.json exists (from /absolute init), resolve the effective config (project file → global projects["<cwd>"] → global defaults) and adopt conventions.ui:

  • framework — generate for the project's framework (react/vue/svelte), not a default.
  • styling — use the project's system (tailwind / css-modules / styled-components / vanilla) instead of assuming Tailwind.
  • iconLibrary — pull icons from the project's library (principle 7 mandates real icons); don't introduce a different one.
  • componentLib — build on the existing component library (shadcn/mui/chakra) when set.
  • tokensPath — read existing design tokens from this file and extend them, don't invent a parallel scale.

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.
