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-gui-guide 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 7d 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-gui-guide — 10 GUI 요소 사용성 가이드라인 SSOT

목적과 근거

거의 모든 화면은 10개 표준 GUI 요소로 조립된다. 각 요소는 40년+ 다윈 필터를 통과한 관습이다 — Jakob's Law(사용자는 다른 사이트에서 보던 대로 너의 것도 작동하길 기대한다)가 익숙한 버전을 늘 더 낫게 만든다. 혁신 예산은 새 체크박스 종자를 만드는 데 쓰지 말고 콘텐츠와 서비스에 써라.

근거: UX Tigers, Jakob Nielsen, "10 GUI Design Elements Build Every User Interface" (2026-07-29) — 86개 증거 기반 가이드라인 + 보너스 2. 본 스킬은 이를 한국어 실용 지침으로 증류하고 shadcn 63종과 매핑한다. 원문 가이드라인(사용성 원칙·방법)을 재서술한 것이지 복사한 것이 아니다.

세 가지 상위 명제 (모든 86개 지침은 이 아래 있다):

  1. 기억시키지 말 것 — 인식(recognition) 우위 유지
  2. 추측시키지 말 것 — 시각 문법·관습을 훼손하지 말 것
  3. 기다리게 하지 말 것 — 반응·완결에 엄격한 예산

1. Buttons — 누르면 무언가 일어난다

shadcn: Button · Button Group

버튼은 세계를 바꾸는 유일한 요소(링크·탭은 옮기고, 메뉴·다이얼로그는 대화를 재배열할 뿐). 그래서 라벨 규칙이 가장 엄격하다 — 잘못된 링크는 Back 한 번이지만, 잘못된 버튼은 고객 한 명을 잃는다.

  1. 누를 수 있게 보이게. 닫힌 형태 + 배경 대비 + 누름 시 상태 변화. 플랫 디자인으로 테두리/그림자를 걷어내면 "어떤 글자가 명령인지" 사용자가 추측하게 된다.
  2. 모든 버튼에 결과를 나타내는 동사 라벨. "Save Invoice"지 "OK"가 아니다. 효과가 2–4단어 안에 안 들어오면 라벨 문제가 아니라 더 깊은 문제.
  3. 화면마다 시각적으로 우세한 주 액션 정확히 1개. 주 액션이 2개 경쟁하면 주 액션이 없는 것.
  4. Fitts's law 준수. 자주 쓰는 액션은 크고 가깝게. 터치 타깃 최소 1×1cm.
  5. 모든 누름을 0.1초 안에 인지. 반응한 것처럼 느끼는 한계.
  6. 비활성 버튼은 주 색의 흐린 버전 + 왜 비활성인지/어떻게 켜는지 설명. 숨기지 말 것.
  7. 액션엔 버튼, 이동엔 링크. 두 시각 언어를 섞지 말 것.
  8. 버튼은 작업이 끝나는 자리에. 필드·콘텐츠 뒤, 읽기 흐름의 자연스러운 끝.

Split button: 주 액션(큰 영역, 1클릭) + 변형(작은 영역, 화살표/3점). 한 명령이 빈도로 압도적일 때만. 두 영역 사이 가시적 구분자 필수. 기본 하나가 안 정해지면 일반 메뉴 버튼을 써라.


2. Input Fields & Forms — 돈이 오가는 자리

shadcn: Input · Input Group · Input OTP · Textarea · Label · Field · Select · Native Select · Combobox · Date Picker · Checkbox · Radio Group · Switch · Toggle · Toggle Group · Slider

폼은 체크아웃·가입·리드 발생 — 사용성이 수익으로 직결된다(UX = profits). 가장 강한 지침은 뺄셈: 불필요한 필드 하나마다 완료율이 떨어진다. 선택 필드도 필드 세금(주의를 소모)을 매긴다 — DB에서 선택이어도 사용자 주의에선 선택이 아니다.
