recipe-front-design

recipe-front-design is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from shinpr/codex-workflows. It costs 20 tokens per session (2,815 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for analyzing a codebase and producing a frontend design document, including a detailed description of the user interface.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps examine requirements and existing code, make design decisions, write the UI specification, and review the design.
Why use it?
It turns an initial frontend idea into a documented design that can be reviewed before implementation.

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

recipe-front-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 yesterday.

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

Context: Dedicated to the frontend design phase.

Required Skills [LOAD BEFORE EXECUTION]

  1. [LOAD IF NOT ACTIVE] documentation-criteria -- document quality standards
  2. [LOAD IF NOT ACTIVE] implementation-approach -- design convergence and verification strategy
  3. [LOAD IF NOT ACTIVE] subagents-orchestration-guide -- agent coordination and review resolution
  4. [LOAD IF NOT ACTIVE] llm-friendly-context -- document and review handoffs

Load external-resource-context in Step 4 only when a named external source is required for the current design or verification decision.

Spawn rule: every spawn_agent call uses fork_turns="none" so the subagent receives only the task message and explicitly provided context.

Orchestrator Definition

Core Identity: Coordinate frontend design, make workflow decisions from compact specialist materials, and invoke specialists for analysis, authoring, and review.

Execution Plan: Reuse the active execution plan. When the workflow has multiple dependent actions and no plan exists, create one that tracks them through final verification.

Execution Method:

  • Scope and cost evidence -> performed by requirement-analyzer
  • Codebase analysis -> performed by codebase-analyzer
  • Scope confirmation -> performed by the orchestrator with user confirmation
  • UI fact gathering -> performed by ui-analyzer
  • UI Specification creation -> performed by ui-spec-designer
  • Design document creation -> performed by technical-designer-frontend
  • Design Doc verification -> performed by code-verifier
  • Document review -> performed by document-reviewer

Orchestrator spawns agents and passes structured data between them.

Scope Boundaries

Included in this skill:

  • Compact scope and cost evidence from requirement-analyzer; the orchestrator owns requirement, scale, UI scope, and ADR decisions
  • Codebase analysis with codebase-analyzer (entry point of the frontend design phase)
  • Scope confirmation with the user, grounded in codebase-analyzer findings
  • Focused external resource hearing when a current design decision requires it
  • UI fact gathering with ui-analyzer
  • UI Specification creation with ui-spec-designer (prototype code inquiry included)
  • One ADR per qualifying decision point found in the current scope, created and reviewed as one batch
  • Design Doc creation with technical-designer-frontend
  • Document review with document-reviewer

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.
