Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00050 | $0.01406 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00025 | $0.00703 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00281 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00141 |
Grade A, and why
dryui-build-experiment-d 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 Build Experiment D: Agentic Gated Workflow
Target Router
Before implementation, identify the target:
- Full page: route, screen, dashboard, admin page, settings page, docs page.
- Section: hero, header, sidebar, table area, pricing block, footer.
- Repeated component: card, row, list item, toolbar item, table cell.
- Form/workflow: settings form, wizard, editor, onboarding, destructive action.
- Polish pass: spacing, hierarchy, states, responsive behavior, visual refinement.
If the target is a dashboard or data surface, apply Dashboard Branch first, then Full Page Branch when it is a route or screen.
Target Brief Gate
Write this before code:
Target brief: type=<page|section|component|form|polish>, subtype=<dashboard|docs|marketing|settings|other>, user=<role>, primary_task=<task>, density=<compact|standard|spacious>, required_states=<states>.
Agentic Variant Gate
When the harness supports subagents and the user has asked for exploration, run three parallel variants before committing:
- Structure variant: optimize information architecture, regions, and responsive order.
- Density variant: optimize dashboard density, scan speed, and data hierarchy.
- State/resilience variant: optimize loading, empty, error, long labels, dense rows, and mobile collapse.
Each variant must return:
- Mobile, tablet, and desktop layout plan.
data-layout/data-layout-areastructure.src/layout.cssstructure.- Risk list against DryUI lint and visual checks.
Then score each variant from 1-5 on:
- Task fit.
- DryUI contract.
- Mobile-first/container-query quality.
- Visual hierarchy.
- State coverage.
- Implementation risk.
Pick one winner or merge the strongest parts. Do not average weak variants into a muddled design.
If subagents are unavailable, create the three variants locally as short sketches, then score them before implementation.
Full Page Branch
For a full page:
- Create a page shell with a specific
data-layout="<page-name>-shell". - In
src/layout.css, putcontainer: <page-name> / inline-sizeon the shell. - Put the responsive grid on an inner child, usually
data-layout-area="page". - Write
@container <page-name> (...)rules that style descendants inside the shell; do not rely on a container query to style the container element itself. - Start with mobile-first single-column layout.
- Add tablet and desktop shifts with
@container <page-name> (min-width: ...). - Use
data-layout-areafor stable regions and named grid areas. - Keep
src/layout.cssstructural only: display, grid, flex, container, tokenized spacing, alignment, and block-size constraints. - Keep color, background, border, shadow, radius, typography, position, z-index, width, height, and inline-size out of
src/layout.css.
What ships with it
9 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

dryui-build-experiment-d is a skill published in the GitHub repository rob-balfre/dryui (9 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 50 tokens to every session and 1,406 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.
