fudge-design-research

fudge-design-research is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from scroobius-pip/fudge-mcp. It costs 52 tokens per session (632 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A design-research skill that searches a library of captured websites and records their visual details. It can help inspect layouts, fonts, colours, components, and design directions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Finding comparable websites, studying a named page, comparing design approaches, and applying observed design evidence while coding.
Why use it?
It gives developers concrete visual references when planning or reviewing a website instead of relying only on vague inspiration.

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

fudge-design-research 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 56 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Fudge Design Research

Use Fudge as a searchable library of captured websites and their design details.

Start with the live guide

When the connected Fudge MCP server exposes fudge://agent/guide.md, read it before the first Fudge query in a task. The guide describes the current query contract and available evidence. Do not guess a relation, field, or taxonomy label that the guide does not establish.

Choose the right workflow

Find references

For inspiration, critique, or an open-ended design direction:

  1. Search two or more meaningfully different angles from the request, such as page purpose, layout, component, typography, or visual treatment.
  2. Pool and deduplicate repeated pages and domains.
  3. Inspect the strongest available screenshots before describing visible traits.
  4. Present a small set of genuinely different references and explain what each contributes.

Do not treat one result list as a complete answer when the request is exploratory.

Inspect a website

For a named website or saved page, retrieve evidence for the exact page or domain. Answer with the captured details that matter to the request, such as typography, color roles, spacing, layout, components, borders, shadows, gradients, media, or page context.

Make it clear when evidence comes from a saved capture rather than the current live website. Do not fill missing details with assumptions.

Compare or recommend

Keep hard facts separate from recommendations. Use captured evidence to explain why references differ, then make a recommendation tied to the user's stated goal. Similarity is useful for ranking candidates, not for proving that two designs or fonts are identical.

Review a design

When the user asks for design feedback, search for relevant references before giving substantial advice unless they explicitly want an attachment-only review. Connect each recommendation to a visible problem and a useful example.

Present the result

  • Show visual results when the MCP response provides screenshots, pin cards, font previews, palettes, or other rendered evidence.
  • Keep the explanation close to the evidence it describes.
  • Prefer direct language such as "Fudge found", "the capture uses", and "this reference shows".
  • State missing, stale, or unavailable evidence plainly.
  • Do not expose internal schema names or retrieval mechanics in ordinary user-facing answers.
  • Do not infer font licensing from captured usage or visual similarity.

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.
