design

design is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Reikor-Arg/inmemory. It costs 59 tokens per session (939 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for designing or reviewing user interfaces such as pages, components, dashboards, and landing pages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building a UI, checking why it looks wrong, or reviewing an existing design for consistency and usability.
Why use it?
It helps find visual problems, such as inconsistent spacing or a generic appearance, while preserving the conventions already used in the project.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

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 4d 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.

Designing and reviewing UI

First, read what already exists

A component that is beautiful and unlike everything around it has made the product worse. Before designing anything, find the conventions already in the repo — they outrank any principle below:

node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/hooks/recall.mjs map               # where components live
node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/hooks/recall.mjs map <Component>   # a similar one to match
node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/hooks/recall.mjs decide --list     # design decisions already made

Read one or two existing components in full. Match their spacing scale, their naming, their approach to state and variants. Consistency with mediocre conventions beats excellence in isolation — and if the conventions are genuinely bad, that is a separate conversation to have explicitly, not to resolve by quietly diverging in one file.

What actually makes UI look amateur

Almost always one of these, in this order:

Inconsistent spacing. Pick one scale (4 / 8 / 12 / 16 / 24 / 32 / 48) and never use a value outside it. Arbitrary padding: 13px reads as sloppy even to people who cannot name why. This single rule fixes more perceived quality than any colour choice.

No type hierarchy. Three sizes minimum, with real distance between them — 14 / 20 / 32, not 15 / 16 / 18. Weight and colour carry hierarchy as much as size; a heading that is only 2px larger is not a heading.

Too many colours, too little contrast. One accent, one neutral ramp, and semantic colours only where they mean something. Body text below 4.5:1 contrast is unreadable for a real fraction of users and looks washed out to everyone else.

No breathing room. Cramped is the most common failure by a wide margin. When something looks wrong and you cannot say why, add space before adding anything else.

Everything the same visual weight. If the primary action does not stand out in a squint test, the layout has no hierarchy. Exactly one primary action per view.

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.

design is a skill published in the GitHub repository Reikor-Arg/inmemory (1 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 59 tokens to every session and 939 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-31.
