dryui-build

dryui-build is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from rob-balfre/dryui. It costs 51 tokens per session (1,522 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A template-led workflow for rebuilding a design image as a responsive DryUI app page. It provides a fixed application shell, approved layout patterns, and a required build check.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create dashboard, settings, CRM, kanban, knowledge-workspace, or admin-console pages from reference images.
Why use it?
It reduces layout inconsistency and catches build problems while limiting structural CSS changes that could break the page.

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

dryui-build 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.

DryUI Page Layout: Template First

Build the supplied design image as a finished DryUI app page. Use the template below first, then adapt content and visual styling.

Experiment Harness Rule

Run bun run build before final. Do not run bun run dev, bun run check, browser screenshots, or extra search audits; the harness does source and visual checks after you finish.

Files

  • src/routes/+page.svelte: markup, imports, data arrays, and DryUI components only. No <style>.
  • src/layout.css: copy the safe template below and only use its selector/property patterns.
  • src/app.css: visual CSS only. No display, grid, flex, container, @container, or @media.

Stage 1: Choose Content

Identify the reference as one of: dashboard, settings, CRM, kanban, knowledge workspace, or admin console.

Keep the shell fixed:

<main data-layout="app-shell">
	<div data-layout-area="page">
		<header data-layout-area="topbar">...</header>
		<nav data-layout-area="navigation">...</nav>
		<section data-layout-area="primary">...</section>
		<aside data-layout-area="secondary">...</aside>
	</div>
</main>

Use these nested layout names only: toolbar-cluster, brand-cluster, search-cluster, app-stack, panel-stack, metric-grid, content-grid, board-grid, list-stack, chart-grid, table-frame, preview-stack.

Stage 2: Implement UI

  • Use Button, Input, Badge, Separator, Table, and Tabs from @dryui/ui.
  • Do not pass class= or class: to DryUI components.
  • Use static blocks for charts, boards, previews, timelines, and maps.
  • Mobile should summarize the most important content; desktop should fill the shell.
  • Do not inspect node_modules unless bun run build reports a missing import.

Stage 3: Copy This src/layout.css

Use this as the whole structural stylesheet. You may remove unused primitive selectors, but do not add new selector forms or banned properties.
