ux-notifications

ux-notifications is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from parhamb/design-skills. It costs 59 tokens per session (907 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of guidelines for designing app notifications that respect people’s attention. It covers push permissions, notification categories, quiet hours, badges, links, grouping, and in-app notification centres.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing or reviewing push notifications, permission prompts, notification settings, unread badges, quiet hours, notification channels, and the screen opened after an alert is tapped.
Why use it?
Poorly timed or unclear notifications can make users disable all notifications. These guidelines help keep alerts relevant, understandable, and easy to control.

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

ux-notifications 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 — 88 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Notifications UX

A notification interrupts someone's life. Every one you send spends trust, and the balance is easy to overdraw: the OS-level "turn off all notifications" switch is one long-press away, and once flipped it almost never comes back.


Checklist

Item Guidance
Permission timing Ask after the user has experienced value, tied to a feature that needs it — never on first launch.
Pre-permission prompt An in-app screen explains what notifications the user will get before the system dialog appears.
Per-type granularity One toggle per notification type (orders, messages, promotions). Never a single on/off switch.
Transactional vs promotional Marketing notifications are opt-in and separate from transactional ones. Disabling promotions never disables receipts or security alerts.
Quiet hours User can set a do-not-disturb schedule, or the app respects the OS Focus / DND modes.
Badge accuracy App icon badge count matches actual unread items and clears when they are viewed.
Deep-link target Tapping a notification lands on the exact relevant content, never the home screen.
Notification content Specific and actionable: "Sara replied to your comment", not "You have a new notification."
Grouping Multiple notifications from the same source collapse into a group or summary.
Android channels Every notification type has its own channel so users can control them at the OS level.
In-app notification center A history of past notifications is available in the app for anything the user missed or dismissed.
Frequency capping Promotional notifications are rate-limited. Sending caps are enforced per user, per day.

Permission Strategy

Contextual ask: Request permission at the moment the value is obvious — after the user places an order ("Get delivery updates?"), follows a topic, or sends a first message. Acceptance rates for contextual asks are several times higher than launch-time asks.

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.
