blueprint-standards

blueprint-standards is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from shinpr/nautilus. It costs 45 tokens per session (498 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of formats for describing a product’s pages, user journeys, data, visual style, and AI interactions before building a prototype.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or review information architecture, user flows, content models, brand direction, and AI interaction plans.
Why use it?
It gives design and coding work a shared structure, reducing missing pages, unclear journeys, and inconsistent visual decisions.

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

blueprint-standards 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 9d 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.

Blueprint Standards

Purpose

Blueprint artifacts define the structural and visual foundation that prototypes and downstream specs build upon.

They answer:

  • What pages and flows exist?
  • What data lives where?
  • What should the product feel like?
  • What concrete visual rules should AI tools reuse?

Artifact Overview

Artifact Question It Answers Template
Information Architecture What pages exist and how are they organized? references/ia-template.md
User Flows How do users move through the product to achieve goals? references/flow-template.md
Content Model What data types exist and how do they relate? references/content-model-template.md
Brand Direction What does the product look and feel like? references/brand-direction-template.md
AI Interaction Model How do users interact with AI features? references/ai-interaction-model-template.md

Scope

Blueprint defines: structure, navigation, data relationships, visual direction, Visual Tokens, interaction patterns
Blueprint defers: component APIs, production-ready design systems, pixel-perfect responsive specs

Key Principles

  • Opportunity-grounded: Every major page or flow traces to a real opportunity or support need
  • Persona-informed: Flows and terminology reflect actual users
  • Consistent across prototypes: Shared blueprint context prevents prototype-to-prototype drift
  • AI-readable: Visual Tokens and decisions are written in markdown so coding agents can consume them directly
  • Reusable downstream: PRDs, UI specs, and implementation can reference the same artifacts

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.

blueprint-standards is a skill published in the GitHub repository shinpr/nautilus (4 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 45 tokens to every session and 498 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
