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.

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 | $0.00003 | $0.01709 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00684 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00342 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00171 |
Grade A, and why
ui-design-system 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 1mo 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 — 163 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
ui-design-system
Use this skill when creating, extending, or auditing a product UI system. It adapts Better Design-style design-system discipline without requiring an external runtime package.
Pair this skill with ui-design-contract when the user provides references, screenshots, brand material, or asks for a reusable direction. The contract defines what the system must preserve; this skill turns it into tokens and components.
When ui-reference-packs selects a design-system pack, treat it as advisory style DNA. Translate it into the local token model and component map; do not copy named-brand assets, exact layouts, or proprietary product chrome.
Use public UI libraries and design systems as behavior references, not default dependencies. shadcn/ui, Radix, Headless UI, React Spectrum, Ant Design, MUI, Carbon, and similar systems can inform component states, keyboard behavior, density, and token discipline; only implement with one of them when the target app already uses it or the user explicitly asks.
Design System Job
A UI system is not a moodboard. It must define reusable decisions that help the product ship:
- Who the product serves and what workflow the UI optimizes.
- What layout model organizes repeated work.
- Which component families exist, with variants and states.
- Which tokens drive typography, color, spacing, radius, borders, elevation, motion, and density.
- Which rules prevent one-off styling and component drift.
- How the design becomes HTML or target-app implementation.
For reusable systems, express the result in a DESIGN.md-compatible shape when useful:
- Visual theme and atmosphere.
- Color.
- Typography.
- Spacing and grid.
- Layout and composition.
- Components.
- Motion and interaction.
- Voice and brand.
- Anti-patterns.
Context To Extract
Before designing, inspect or infer:
- Product domain: operational tool, creative app, developer tool, finance, education, commerce, content, or consumer.
- Main workflow: create, review, compare, monitor, configure, analyze, search, or collaborate.
- Existing UI framework and components.
- Selected reference pack, if any, plus rejected patterns from
ui-reference-packs. - For screenshots or image references: visible copy, page type, major regions, controls, repeated items, and what content is unknown.
- Current token source: CSS variables, Tailwind config, design-token files, component library, or ad hoc CSS.
- Navigation model: sidebar, top nav, split pane, command palette, tabs, wizard, canvas, or feed.
- Data density: sparse editorial, balanced product UI, or dense operational cockpit.
- Constraints: mobile, desktop, accessibility, brand, localization, dark mode, and real data variability.
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.

ui-design-system is a skill published in the GitHub repository Orkas-AI/Orkas (2,172 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 3 tokens to every session and 1,709 once invoked, about $0.0000 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
