userinterface-wiki

userinterface-wiki is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from open-gsd/gsd-pi. It costs 52 tokens per session (3,537 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reference guide for designing and reviewing web interfaces, covering animation, typography, interaction patterns, icons, audio feedback, and perceived performance. It explains practical rules for making interfaces clearer and easier to use.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building or reviewing web animations, CSS effects, icons, typography, responsive interactions, or prefetching behavior.
Why use it?
It gives developers a consistent basis for UI decisions instead of relying only on personal taste. It helps spot interaction and presentation choices that may confuse users or feel slow.

About the project

GSD Pi is a command-line coding agent and project workflow system that plans, implements, verifies, and tracks software work through milestones, tasks, Git worktrees, and stored project notes. It is for developers who want structured, longer-running agent sessions using different model providers. The catalogue entries extend GSD Pi with skills and agents.

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

userinterface-wiki 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 yesterday.

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.

User Interface Wiki

Comprehensive UI/UX best practices guide for web interfaces. Contains 152 rules across 12 categories, prioritized by impact to guide automated code review and generation.

When to Apply

Reference these guidelines when:

  • Implementing or reviewing animations (CSS transitions, Motion/Framer Motion)
  • Choosing between springs, easing curves, or no animation
  • Working with AnimatePresence and exit animations
  • Writing CSS with pseudo-elements or View Transitions API
  • Adding audio feedback or procedural sound to UI
  • Building morphing icon components
  • Animating container width/height with dynamic content
  • Designing UI that respects cognitive psychology (Fitts's, Hick's, Miller's laws)
  • Implementing predictive prefetching for perceived performance
  • Setting up typography, OpenType features, or numeric formatting

Rule Categories by Priority

Priority Category Impact Prefixes
1 Animation Principles CRITICAL timing-, physics-, staging-
2 Timing Functions HIGH spring-, easing-, duration-, none-
3 Exit Animations HIGH exit-, presence-, mode-, nested-
4 CSS Pseudo Elements MEDIUM pseudo-, transition-, native-
5 Audio Feedback MEDIUM a11y-, appropriate-, impl-, weight-
6 Sound Synthesis MEDIUM context-, envelope-, design-, param-
7 Morphing Icons LOW morphing-
8 Container Animation MEDIUM container-
9 Laws of UX HIGH ux-
10 Predictive Prefetching MEDIUM prefetch-
11 Typography MEDIUM type-
12 Visual Design HIGH visual-

Quick Reference

1. Animation Principles (CRITICAL)

  • timing-under-300ms - User animations must complete within 300ms
  • timing-consistent - Similar elements use identical timing values
  • timing-no-entrance-context-menu - Context menus: no entrance animation, exit only
  • easing-natural-decay - Use exponential ramps for natural decay, not linear
  • easing-no-linear-motion - Linear easing only for progress indicators
  • physics-active-state - Interactive elements need :active scale transform
  • physics-subtle-deformation - Squash/stretch in 0.95-1.05 range
  • physics-spring-for-overshoot - Springs for overshoot-and-settle, not easing
  • physics-no-excessive-stagger - Stagger delays under 50ms per item
  • staging-one-focal-point - One prominent animation at a time
  • staging-dim-background - Dim modal/dialog backgrounds
  • staging-z-index-hierarchy - Animated elements respect z-index layers

What ships with it

60 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
