delight is a skill for Claude Code from Southclaws/storyden. It costs 28 tokens per session (2,162 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of delight, MPL-2.0.

A design-guidance skill for adding personality, polished interactions, and small moments of enjoyment to user interfaces.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to refine success, empty, loading, error, hover, onboarding, and other interaction states after the product's design context is understood.
Why use it?
It helps identify where extra character can improve an interface without distracting from its main job.

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

delight 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 12d 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

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 303 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Identify opportunities to add moments of joy, personality, and unexpected polish that transform functional interfaces into delightful 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. Additionally gather: what's appropriate for the domain (playful vs professional vs quirky vs elegant).


Assess Delight Opportunities

Identify where delight would enhance (not distract from) the experience:

  1. Find natural delight moments:

    • Success states: Completed actions (save, send, publish)
    • Empty states: First-time experiences, onboarding
    • Loading states: Waiting periods that could be entertaining
    • Achievements: Milestones, streaks, completions
    • Interactions: Hover states, clicks, drags
    • Errors: Softening frustrating moments
    • Easter eggs: Hidden discoveries for curious users
  2. Understand the context:

    • What's the brand personality? (Playful? Professional? Quirky? Elegant?)
    • Who's the audience? (Tech-savvy? Creative? Corporate?)
    • What's the emotional context? (Accomplishment? Exploration? Frustration?)
    • What's appropriate? (Banking app ≠ gaming app)
  3. Define delight strategy:

    • Subtle sophistication: Refined micro-interactions (luxury brands)
    • Playful personality: Whimsical illustrations and copy (consumer apps)
    • Helpful surprises: Anticipating needs before users ask (productivity tools)
    • Sensory richness: Satisfying sounds, smooth animations (creative tools)

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

CRITICAL: Delight should enhance usability, never obscure it. If users notice the delight more than accomplishing their goal, you've gone too far.

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.
