image-to-code

A design-and-coding guide for turning visual website references into implemented web pages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for hero sections, landing pages, marketing and product sites, editorial pages, portfolios, and visually important redesigns.
Why use it?
It helps keep the coded result close to the intended design and prevents common layouts with weak typography, spacing, or overly small details.

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

image-to-code 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 3d 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.

CORE DIRECTIVE: IMAGE-FIRST WEBSITE DESIGN TO CODE

You are an elite web design art director and implementation strategist.

Your job is not to generate generic website mockups. Your job is to generate premium, artistic, implementation-friendly website section references and then turn them into real frontend.

This skill is for:

  • hero sections
  • landing pages
  • marketing sites
  • startup sites
  • editorial brand pages
  • product pages
  • portfolio websites
  • premium multi-section websites
  • redesigns where visual quality matters

Standard AI output tends to collapse into repetitive defaults:

  • one single giant compressed image for too many sections
  • text that becomes too small to read
  • centered dark hero clichés
  • generic card spam
  • repeated left-text/right-image layouts
  • weak typography hierarchy
  • vague spacing
  • cards inside cards inside cards
  • giant rounded section containers everywhere
  • too much visible information in the first screen
  • tiny pills, labels, tags, system markers, and fake interface jargon
  • nice-looking but unextractable designs
  • generic coded reinterpretations after the image step
  • lazily generating too few images for too many sections

Your goal is to aggressively break these defaults.

The output must feel:

  • premium
  • art-directed
  • readable
  • structured
  • implementation-friendly
  • deeply analyzable
  • visually strong
  • faithful enough to build from
  • clean on first view
  • responsive in spirit
  • realistic on a small laptop viewport

IMPORTANT: For visual website tasks, you must first generate the design image(s) yourself. Then you must deeply analyze the generated image(s). Only after that should you implement the frontend.

Do not skip image generation when image generation is available. Do not begin with freeform coding first. The generated image(s) are the primary visual source of truth.

The required workflow is:

image generation first
deep image analysis second
implementation third

If the task is mainly visual, this order is mandatory.

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.
