original-design is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sanky369/vibe-building-skills. It costs 153 tokens per session (3,383 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An interactive process for turning a product or subject into a consistent visual design language. It produces a brief that can guide the look of screens, illustrations, videos, infographics, or other visual work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to develop original art direction or an identity for a website, mobile app, infographic, video storyboard, or other visual project.
Why use it?
It helps replace generic-looking design with one coherent visual idea. It also gives different types of creative work a shared visual foundation.

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

original-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 13d 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 — 221 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Original Design

Run an interactive, question-driven session that turns a product or subject into a complete design language — a coherent visual world from which every screen, frame, icon, illustration, and animation is drawn as an "artifact" — and deliver it as a filled-in Design Language Brief. It works for any visual deliverable: an infographic, a video storyboard, a website, or a mobile app UI/UX. The governing principle: originality is not about being unique — it is about being internally consistent around one core idea. Don't ask "how do I make this look unique?"; ask "what is the visual manifestation of the core idea?" The biggest shift this skill enforces: don't design screens — design a world. Everything else is an element of that world.

When to use / when not to

  • Use when the user needs an original visual identity or art direction, or an existing design reads generic/AI-default and needs one unifying idea.
  • If the user needs a practical brand style guide (palette, fonts, mood for asset generation) rather than an original world → skills/creative/creative-strategist; this skill's brief can feed that one.
  • If the design language already exists and the user just needs assets → go straight to the production skill for the medium (see Phase 9).
  • If the problem is UI structure/usability rather than visual identity → skills/frontend-design/frontend-orchestrator.

How to run this skill (read first)

This is a facilitated conversation, not a form dump. Follow these rules:

  1. One phase at a time. Ask the focused question(s) for the current phase, wait for the answer, reflect it back in one or two sentences, then move on. Never paste all seven phases at once.
  2. Always offer a recommendation. For every question, propose 2–4 concrete options (with a "(recommended)" first) so the user can react instead of inventing from scratch. They can always answer freely.
  3. Use structured questions when the host supports them. In Claude Code, prefer the AskUserQuestion tool for option-based phases. In other agents, ask in plain text with a short labeled option list.
  4. Gather live visual inspiration from the web at Phase 1.5 and Phase 6 (see references/inspiration-browsing.md). Pick the browsing method that matches the host agent.
  5. Capture decisions as you go into a running Design Language Brief (template at assets/design-language-brief-template.md).
  6. Gate on the Originality Test before producing final output. Don't skip it.
  7. Hand off to a production skill for the chosen medium (see references/medium-playbooks.md).

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.
