lit-ui-designer

lit-ui-designer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from OpenCoven/coven. It costs 73 tokens per session (1,058 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A design and development guide for Lit web components, which are reusable browser components built with JavaScript and HTML. It covers component behavior, styling, accessibility, responsive layouts, and tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Building or polishing Lit components, designing Web Components and shadow-DOM styles, creating design tokens, checking WCAG accessibility, and handling loading, empty, error, disabled, and responsive states.
Why use it?
It helps developers make custom web components consistent, usable with keyboards and assistive technology, and ready for production. It also provides a structured way to review existing interfaces before changing them.

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

lit-ui-designer 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.

Lit UI Designer

Use this skill to create or improve Lit web component interfaces that feel professional, accessible, robust, and production-ready.

Workflow

  1. Inspect before inventing. Read the existing component, styles, tokens, tests/stories, screenshots, and surrounding UX. Preserve repo conventions unless they are clearly broken.
  2. Define the UX contract. Identify primary user goal, component states, keyboard/mouse/touch behavior, responsive behavior, empty/loading/error/disabled states, and integration boundaries.
  3. Choose native semantics first. Prefer real HTML controls (button, a, input, dialog, headings, lists, tables) before ARIA. Add ARIA only when native semantics cannot express the pattern.
  4. Implement Lit idiomatically. Keep public properties as external API, private @state for internals, declarative render(), classMap/styleMap when helpful, and custom events for user-driven state changes.
  5. Design with craft. Use clear hierarchy, spacing rhythm, restrained color, meaningful motion, strong focus states, and polished empty/error states. Avoid generic “AI dashboard” slop.
  6. Verify. Run the smallest meaningful gates: typecheck/test/build, accessibility checks if present, and browser/screenshot review for meaningful visual work.

Lit implementation standards

  • Use TypeScript and decorators when the repo already uses them; otherwise follow local Lit style.
  • Keep reactive public props as inputs. Do not silently mutate owner-controlled props except for user-driven control patterns; emit a composed/bubbling event to announce changes.
  • Use @state() or state: true for private reactive state.
  • Keep expensive derived values outside hot render paths or memoize when needed.
  • Use stable keys/repeat directives for lists that reorder or update often.
  • Use static styles = css\...`` for component styles. Prefer CSS custom properties for theming and per-instance variation.
  • Avoid dynamic <style> blocks and unsafeCSS; use them only when the value is fully trusted and there is no safer design-token/custom-property option.
  • Use :host, :host([attr]), ::slotted, and CSS parts intentionally. Document exported parts and CSS custom properties when creating reusable components.
  • Dispatch events with bubbles: true and composed: true when parents outside the shadow root must handle them.

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.
