design

design is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from OutlineDriven/odin-codex-plugin. It costs 151 tokens per session (2,944 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A visual and interaction planning process for user interfaces, including websites, applications, command-line tools, and design systems. It chooses a clear direction before defining colors, typography, spacing, and motion.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before implementing a new interface or redesigning an existing screen, component, CLI, or design system.
Why use it?
It prevents UI code from being built without a consistent visual goal or from accumulating decoration without a reason.

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 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 3d 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 — 143 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Direction first, tokens second, code last. Restraint is the default posture; ONE intentional moment per surface earns the lift.

Posture

Direction precedes tokens; tokens precede code. The picked direction is the contract — palette, type, spacing, motion all derive from it, not the other way around. Restraint is the default; reach for decoration only when a named surface goal demands it. Posture rests on references/soul.md (design philosophy) — load when the user asks "why this look" or when the model is tempted to add decoration to compensate for a thin idea.

Balance, not maximalism. ODIN's "don't hold back" (borrowed from the <design> block above) means conviction, not volume. The two failure modes catalogued in the anti-slop charter below are reciprocals — AI-generic timidity (Side A) and decorative overkill (Side B) both come from the same fear of commitment. Balance simplicity and verbosity per surface; restraint as the default, the one intentional moment as the lift, neither timid nor loud.

ODIN <design> block — LOAD-BEARING

Quoted verbatim from output-styles/odin.md lines 254–262.

<design>
Modern, elegant UI/UX. Don't hold back.

**Tokens:** MUST use design system tokens, not hardcoded values.
**Density:** 2-3x denser. Spacing: 4/8/12/16/24/32/48/64px. Medium-high density default. Ask preference when ambiguous.
**Paradigms:** Post-minimalism [default] | Neo-brutalism | Glassmorphism | Material 3 | Fluent. Avoid naive minimalism.
**Forbidden:** Purple-blue/purple-pink | `transition: all` | `font-family: system-ui` | Pure purple/red/blue/green | Self-generated palettes | Gradients (unless explicitly requested, NEVER on buttons/titles)
**Gate:** Design excellence >= 95%
</design>

Register × paradigm matrix — pointer

Every design surface is brand (marketing, landing, campaign, long-form content, portfolio — design IS the product) or product (app UI, admin, dashboard, tool — design SERVES the product). Identify before designing.

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.
