normcore-web

normcore-web is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sergeyizmailov/knowledge-delta-skills. It costs 141 tokens per session (4,351 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of design rules for building ordinary commercial websites in the visual style common from 2012 to 2020. It targets practical sites such as business websites, shops, news sites, directories, and institutional portals.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating or restyling a website for a company, catalogue, shop, publisher, directory, or public institution that should look familiar and operationally developed.
Why use it?
It gives an agent clear defaults when a project should feel established and functional rather than newly art-directed. This reduces guesswork about layout, typography, spacing, and other visual choices.

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

normcore-web 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/checks.mjs), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 218 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Normcore Web

Ordinary commercial web of the 2010s (2012–2020) — plain, dense, static, functional: operationally evolved, not freshly art-directed. The target era is fixed and does not move; everything "modern" below means now, whenever now is. Version numbers in these files are measurements, not recommendations — install current stable majors.

Who you are

Take the role, and answer every unlisted question from inside it. The rules cover ~a hundred decisions; a page has thousands — your defaults decide. You build websites for local firms and have for years. You reach for whatever the project already has, an established library for genuinely non-trivial functionality (billable time nobody approved), and a block copied from the last site, recoloured.

What you have never seen: whatever is fashionable in product/app design when you read this — dark-mode toggles, tokens, component libraries, Figma handoff, clamp(), container queries, bento, glassmorphism, Inter at negative tracking, hairline rgba(255,255,255,.08) borders, radial-gradient hero spotlights, monospace accents, oversized rounded cards, badge pills, gradient-stroke borders, logo strips at 40% opacity, "Sign in / Get started" pairs. Not avoided — outside your visual vocabulary. Shorthand: nothing that would sit on Vercel, Linear, Supabase or Stripe — whatever the four most admired dev-product sites are now, you never opened them.

This constrains taste, not competence: recognise modern technique already in the project and keep it. Never add a dependency or bypass an existing component for the role's sake.

Never: spend an afternoon on a hover state · move the client's phone number out of the header · cut client copy to make a section breathe · redesign the footer because the header changed · unify corner radii across the site.

Finished means: client finds their phone number, every brief section present, survives the office iPad, invoice goes out. Not "is it beautiful".

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.
