design-register-bootstrap

design-register-bootstrap is a skill for Codex from markoblogo/abvx-agent-skills. It costs 70 tokens per session (853 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning guide for choosing the right design direction before building a frontend. It distinguishes brand pages, such as marketing sites, from product interfaces, such as dashboards and forms.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or refresh PRODUCT.md or DESIGN.md context for new frontend projects, redesigns, and interfaces whose visual direction is unclear.
Why use it?
It prevents vague styling decisions and helps keep typography, colors, spacing, and layout aligned with the page’s purpose.

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

design-register-bootstrap 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.

Design Register Bootstrap

Set the design register before styling anything substantial.

This skill exists for cases where the model is about to generate UI from vague vibes, default templates, or half-remembered brand intent.

Use For

  • new frontend projects without PRODUCT.md or DESIGN.md;
  • redesigns where the surface is unclear: marketing brand page vs. app/product UI;
  • teams that keep getting mismatched typography, palette, density, or motion across tasks;
  • sessions where the agent should create or refresh design context before implementation.

Core Rule

Classify the surface first:

  • brand: marketing site, landing page, portfolio, campaign, editorial page, investor page, event page;
  • product: dashboard, admin UI, internal tool, settings, onboarding flow, forms, data-heavy app shell.

Do not treat these as interchangeable. Brand surfaces can lead with identity and emotion. Product surfaces must optimize comprehension, workflow, and control clarity.

Workflow

  1. Read current evidence:
    • project files, CSS tokens, component library, screenshots, references, user brief;
    • any existing PRODUCT.md, DESIGN.md, brand notes, or design tokens.
  2. Write a compact design register:
    • surface type: brand or product;
    • audience;
    • first-screen job;
    • creator intent: what the person is actually trying to make possible;
    • preserve-theirs: what must remain recognizably theirs;
    • brand/product lane;
    • anti-references: what this should explicitly not resemble;
    • color strategy: restrained, committed, full palette, or drenched;
    • typography direction;
    • motion tolerance;
    • density and radius rules.
  3. If context files are missing, create or update:
    • PRODUCT.md for audience, product lane, workflow, tone, creator intent, preserve-theirs, and anti-references;
    • DESIGN.md for colors, typography, spacing, component patterns, creator intent, preserve-theirs, and do/don't rules.
  4. Ask one clarifying question only when either the branch between brand and product is genuinely unclear or creator intent is too vague to guide a real design choice. If neither blocks a real choice, move.
  5. Use the register as a constraint system for later frontend work. Do not restyle pages in the same pass unless the task explicitly includes implementation.

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.
