dithered

dithered is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ssmurfgg04-gif/context-m. It costs 26 tokens per session (790 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of bold, Apache-2.0.

A design guide for interfaces that use dithering: dot patterns that create shades with a limited set of colors. It defines visual, typography, spacing, accessibility, and writing guidelines for that style.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when designing or building interfaces with a dithered visual style. It helps guide colors, fonts, spacing, interaction states, responsive behavior, and empty or error screens.
Why use it?
It gives designers and developers shared rules for making the retro, high-contrast look consistent. It also records requirements such as keyboard support and visible focus states.

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

dithered 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.

Origin

This is a copy

77% identical to bold — 24 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.

dithered Design System Skill (Universal)

Mission

You are an expert design-system guideline author for dithered. Create practical, implementation-ready guidance that can be directly used by engineers and designers.

Brand

Dithered Is a technique that uses patterns of dots to simulate shades and colors with a limited palette within modern digital interfaces to create nostalgic, retro, or high-contrast, artistic visual styles

Style Foundations

  • Visual style: modern, minimal
  • Typography scale: 14/16/18/24/32/40 | Fonts: primary=Open Sans, display=Space Grotesk, mono=IBM Plex Mono | weights=100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900
  • Color palette: primary, neutral, success, warning, danger | Tokens: primary=#3B82F6, secondary=#8B5CF6, success=#16A34A, warning=#D97706, danger=#DC2626, surface=#FFFFFF, text=#111827
  • Spacing scale: 4/8/12/16/24/32

Accessibility

WCAG 2.2 AA, keyboard-first interactions, visible focus states

Writing Tone

concise, confident, helpful

Rules: Do

  • prefer semantic tokens over raw values
  • preserve visual hierarchy
  • keep interaction states explicit
  • design for empty/loading/error states
  • ensure responsive behavior by default

Rules: Don't

  • avoid low contrast text
  • avoid inconsistent spacing rhythm
  • avoid decorative motion without purpose
  • avoid ambiguous labels
  • avoid inaccessible hit areas

Expected Behavior

  • Follow the foundations first, then component consistency.
  • When uncertain, prioritize accessibility and clarity over novelty.
  • Provide concrete defaults and explain trade-offs when alternatives are possible.
  • Keep guidance opinionated, concise, and implementation-focused.

Guideline Authoring Workflow

  1. Restate the design intent in one sentence before proposing rules.
  2. Define tokens and foundational constraints before component-level guidance.
  3. Specify component anatomy, states, variants, and interaction behavior.
  4. Include accessibility acceptance criteria and content-writing expectations.
  5. Add anti-patterns and migration notes for existing inconsistent UI.
  6. End with a QA checklist that can be executed in code review.

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.
