dryui-build

dryui-build is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from rob-balfre/dryui. It costs 45 tokens per session (828 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An experimental layout tool that turns an app screenshot into labelled coloured blocks showing the main page regions and their relative sizes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to sketch dashboards, workspaces, boards, readers, and admin pages from screenshots. It is for layout testing, not working controls or realistic content.
Why use it?
It helps test whether the page structure and visual hierarchy were understood without building a finished interface.

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 8d 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 Layout Blocks: Proportion Weights

Create only labelled colored layout blocks. The output proves region hierarchy, not finished UI.

Allowed edits:

  • src/routes/+page.svelte
  • src/layout.css

No imports, components, icons, images, charts, tables, forms, buttons, inputs, avatars, or realistic widgets.

Region Weighting

Before coding, classify every visible region:

  • primary: the dominant workspace, board, reader, canvas, or form.
  • secondary: inspector, AI panel, account detail, task detail, help panel.
  • chrome: top bar, nav, rails, tabs, action bar.
  • summary: KPI strips, filters, quick stats.
  • utility: activity, recent updates, footer tools.

The generated layout must preserve these weights:

  • primary is largest at every breakpoint.
  • Desktop primary normally gets minmax(0, 1fr) or larger.
  • secondary is narrower than primary unless the reference shows equal panes.
  • chrome is compact but persistent when visible in the reference.
  • Utility regions must not push the primary workspace below the fold on desktop.

Page Structure

Use exactly one shell:

<main data-layout="<name>-shell">
	<div data-layout-area="page">...</div>
</main>

Use direct semantic child regions with meaningful data-layout-area names.

Layout CSS

Only src/layout.css may contain grid/flex/container rules.

[data-layout='<name>-shell'] {
	container: <name> / inline-size;
}

[data-layout='<name>-shell'] [data-layout-area='page'] {
	display: grid;
	grid-template-areas:
		'topbar'
		'navigation'
		'primary'
		'secondary';
}

@container <name> (min-width: 48rem) {
}
@container <name> (min-width: 72rem) {
}

Container name and query name must match exactly.

Proportion Tools

Use these in src/layout.css when they match the reference:

  • grid-template-columns: minmax(0, 1fr) minmax(14rem, 0.32fr);
  • grid-template-columns: 14rem minmax(0, 1fr) 18rem;
  • grid-template-rows: auto auto minmax(24rem, 1fr) auto;
  • min-block-size on primary reader/board/workspace regions.
  • align-items: stretch for pane layouts.

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.
