nexus: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/nexus-ui-mockups/SKILL.md

nexus-ui-mockups is a skill for Claude Code from ProfSynapse/nexus. It costs 86 tokens per session (638 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for designing Nexus UI changes as standalone HTML mockups before production code is written. The mockup acts as a visual agreement for the implementation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for new views, panels, modals, settings tabs, chat surfaces, or major layout changes, then check the mockup before implementation.
Why use it?
It makes proposed screens easier to review and helps prevent implementation from promising controls or layouts the plugin cannot actually render.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md.

This is ProfSynapse/nexus's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on nexus itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything nexus configures →

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

nexus-ui-mockups 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 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/check_mockup.py, scripts/theme_tokens.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

Nexus UI Mockups

Context: a mockup is a standalone HTML/CSS/JS page in docs/mockups/ that shows a proposed Nexus surface before the plugin code exists. It is worth building only if it looks like the real product and promises only what the plugin can actually render; otherwise it is a drawing that costs a rewrite later. This router points at the procedures — the detail loads when you take the path.

Workflow

  1. Decide the artifact. A new or substantially reshaped surface gets a mockup first. A tweak inside an existing layout does not — say so and implement.
  2. New mockup: follow protocols/build-mockup.md step by step.
  3. Existing mockup to change, supersede, or retire: follow protocols/revise-mockup.md first — you MUST NOT overwrite a mockup a plan already cites as its visual contract.
  4. Before showing anyone: run python3 .claude/skills/nexus-ui-mockups/scripts/check_mockup.py from the repo root and fix every error it prints. Nothing else in the repo checks mockups — eslint and the build both ignore docs/.
  5. Implementation is a separate job under src/, governed by CLAUDE.md's hard rules and the sibling skills (nexus-mobile-compat for phone and plugin-store constraints, nexus-agents for tools behind the UI, nexus-testing for proving it in the running plugin). Mockup-only liberties never travel there.

Map

  • references/fidelity.md — how to make it look like Obsidian and like Nexus: the token block, both themes, production class naming, icons, phone widths.
  • references/honest-mockups.md — keeping the mockup buildable: Obsidian form primitives, labelling simulation, flagging what will not ship as drawn.
  • references/handoff.md — serving it, review, blessing it as a plan's visual contract, and what happens to it after the UI ships.
  • protocols/build-mockup.md, revise-mockup.md, self-refine.md.
  • scripts/check_mockup.py (validate a mockup), theme_tokens.py (extract the token set production actually relies on). Run them, do not reimplement.

Changes

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.
