ui-system

ui-system is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from OutThisLife/brooklyn-skills. It costs 74 tokens per session (510 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for building interfaces with the project's existing buttons, inputs, colors, spacing, and other shared pieces. It also explains how to turn a Figma design, mock-up, or screenshot into a matching interface.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building or redesigning web, desktop, or terminal interfaces. It helps find the right shared components and design settings before adding new ones.
Why use it?
It prevents each feature from inventing its own visual style or duplicate components. This keeps the application consistent and reduces repeated UI code.

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

ui-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 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.

What it actually says

UI System

Reuse what the app already has. Don't invent a parallel UI kit.

Do

  1. Read DESIGN.md / area docs for the surface you're in.
  2. Find the existing component/helper (button, input, dialog, progress, relative-time, dropdown, back row, …). Copy how Settings / Projects / etc. already do it.
  3. Prefer a variant on an existing primitive over a new component.
  4. Colors/spacing/type from existing CSS vars / tokens (including the app's Tailwind v4 setup). No one-off hex/shadow stacks.
  5. Match the app's look: if the app doesn't use borders/shadows/sparkles, neither does your feature.

Don't

  • New button/input/modal implementations
  • Local color palettes or decorative chrome
  • Duplicate formatters (time, etc.) — use the shared ones
  • New borders, backgrounds, shadows, sparkles, or badges the surrounding app doesn't already use — match the neighboring surface exactly
  • Section chrome that nowhere else uses

Working from a design

Figma file, mock, or screenshot: match it — spacing, contrast, placement — before inventing anything.

  1. Pull the design context (Figma MCP if available, else the screenshot/mock).
  2. Map it to existing primitives and tokens before building anything new.
  3. Layout and structure first, then content.
  4. Match spacing, padding, contrast, and states exactly. Check the details — no white-on-white, no doubled padding, correct CTA contrast.
  5. Optimize exported assets (SVGO for SVGs).
  6. Don't approximate spacing or colors the design specifies, and don't add chrome neither the design nor the app has.

If you can't find the primitive, search harder or ask — don't quietly make one.

While still iterating on look, follow ui-only (no tsc/lint/commit yet). Once they like it, confirm against the design with visual-verify.

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.
