storyden: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/bolder/SKILL.md

bolder is a skill for Claude Code from Southclaws/storyden. It costs 25 tokens per session (1,452 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of bolder, MPL-2.0.

A design guide for making a safe or dull interface more visually distinctive while keeping it usable. It examines layout, color, scale, contrast, motion, and visual hierarchy.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when improving a website or product interface that looks plain, predictable, or visually weak. It first gathers the design context and checks usability constraints.
Why use it?
It helps identify why a design feels generic or lacks energy, then guides changes that make important elements stand out.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: user-invocable in frontmatter. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is Southclaws/storyden's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on storyden itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything storyden configures →

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

bolder 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 2mo 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.

Origin

89% identical to bolder — 11 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 116 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Increase visual impact and personality in designs that are too safe, generic, or visually underwhelming, creating more engaging and memorable experiences.

MANDATORY PREPARATION

Use the frontend-design skill — it contains design principles, anti-patterns, and the Context Gathering Protocol. Follow the protocol before proceeding — if no design context exists yet, you MUST run teach-impeccable first.

Assess Current State

Analyze what makes the design feel too safe or boring:

  1. Identify weakness sources:

    • Generic choices: System fonts, basic colors, standard layouts
    • Timid scale: Everything is medium-sized with no drama
    • Low contrast: Everything has similar visual weight
    • Static: No motion, no energy, no life
    • Predictable: Standard patterns with no surprises
    • Flat hierarchy: Nothing stands out or commands attention

  2. Understand the context:

    • What's the brand personality? (How far can we push?)
    • What's the purpose? (Marketing can be bolder than financial dashboards)
    • Who's the audience? (What will resonate?)
    • What are the constraints? (Brand guidelines, accessibility, performance)

If any of these are unclear from the codebase, ask the user directly to clarify what you cannot infer.

CRITICAL: "Bolder" doesn't mean chaotic or garish. It means distinctive, memorable, and confident. Think intentional drama, not random chaos.

WARNING - AI SLOP TRAP: When making things "bolder," AI defaults to the same tired tricks: cyan/purple gradients, glassmorphism, neon accents on dark backgrounds, gradient text on metrics. These are the OPPOSITE of bold—they're generic. Review ALL the DON'T guidelines in the frontend-design skill before proceeding. Bold means distinctive, not "more effects."

Plan Amplification

Create a strategy to increase impact while maintaining coherence:

  • Focal point: What should be the hero moment? (Pick ONE, make it amazing)
  • Personality direction: Maximalist chaos? Elegant drama? Playful energy? Dark moody? Choose a lane.
  • Risk budget: How experimental can we be? Push boundaries within constraints.
  • Hierarchy amplification: Make big things BIGGER, small things smaller (increase contrast)

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.
