Orkas is a desktop application for commanding a team of AI agents through one chat, with a commander model assigning work to specialist agents in parallel or in sequence. People use it to coordinate research, writing, presentations, and software tasks while keeping files on their computer. The catalogue includes skills for extending the agents available to Orkas.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00002 | $0.04837 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00001 | $0.02419 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00967 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00484 |
Grade A, and why
frontend-design 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 10d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 203 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
frontend-design
Use this as the design-lead layer for VideoStudio COMPOSE work. It shapes project/composition/composition-manifest.json::art_direction and the model-authored HTML/SVG motion graphics in index.html.
This skill does not pick the video production line, replace video-craft, or relax Orkas renderer constraints. If there is a conflict, renderer determinism, safe zones, legibility, audio ownership, and user-approved creative direction win.
Generation references
Read only the references required by the current composition:
- HTML generation playbook — read before coding every non-trivial COMPOSE deliverable for the private art-direction pass, frame-composition rules, and opening/resolved-state authoring pattern.
- Visual primitives — read when selecting reusable CSS/SVG composition primitives and scene grammar.
- Worked compositions — read when examples are needed to turn subject matter into a cohesive visual system without copying a fixed template.
These references improve the initial generation. They do not create a new artifact, user gate, or approval step. Keep the art-direction pass internal and record only the decisions needed to make the manifest art direction executable.
Design Thesis
Before writing HTML, choose a compact visual thesis:
subject_world: the real materials, artifacts, interface metaphors, gestures, environment, or culture of the topic.audience: who must understand this at phone size and what they already know.one_job: what this video frame sequence must make clear.tone: one or two precise words that shape type, color, spacing, and motion.signature_device: one memorable visual move that belongs to this brief.aesthetic_risk: one justified choice that avoids generic output without hurting readability.
Keep the thesis specific. "Modern tech style" is not a thesis. "Battery-lab oscilloscope traces become the progress line" is.
What ships with it
3 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.
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.

frontend-design is a skill published in the GitHub repository Orkas-AI/Orkas (1,848 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 2 tokens to every session and 4,837 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.

infographic-builder
Turns textual content into structured infographic formats suitable for reports, presentations, and educational materials.
sn-infographic
An image-making tool that turns supplied content into an infographic, a visual format for explaining information with arranged text and graphics.
skin-creator
Create and apply a two-asset LobsterAI visual skin from the user's style description. Use only when the AI Skin Designer kit supplies the structured skinpack workflow marker; do not use for ordinary theme or image requests.
sn-image-resume
Generates a designed portfolio-resume image from resume content provided in conversation text. Extracts optional style instructions, converts the resume into a fixed portfolio-resume layout prompt, and generates the final image through sn-image-base. Use when user asks to create "resume image", "portfolio resume"…
tutti-ui-system
Use when working with @tutti-os/ui-system components, replacing local UI with shared components, querying component ids or metadata, promoting UI into shared base or business components, or maintaining UI-system storyboard inventory.
canvas-design
Create beautiful visual art in .png and .pdf documents using design philosophy. You should use this skill when the user asks to create a poster, piece of art, design, or other static piece. Create original visual designs, never copying existing artists' work to avoid copyright violations.
