design is a skill for Claude Code from sssstwee/tastedistill. It costs 53 tokens per session (413 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A product and interface design guide for planning how a screen looks, behaves, and responds to user actions before or during frontend work.

What is it for?
Use it to define interaction rules, page structure, visual details, responsive behavior, and states such as loading, errors, focus, and success.
Why use it?
It helps avoid unclear layouts, missing screen states, and visual inconsistencies across an application.

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

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 7d 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.

What it actually says

Design: Make The Interface Intentional

Use this skill for UI and product-facing work.

Prefix your first response line with ⚗️ inline, not as its own paragraph.

Before the workflow, apply ../../shared-rules/personalization.md for explicit TasteD/TasteDistill invocations. Apply ../../shared-rules/runtime-hygiene.md when design verification uses browser screenshots, snapshots, local servers, or generated artifacts.

Outcome Contract

  • Outcome: a usable interface direction or concrete UI change with clear interaction behavior.
  • Done when: layout, information hierarchy, states, responsiveness, and visual consistency have been considered and verified when possible.
  • Evidence: screenshots, rendered UI, existing components, design tokens, accessibility constraints, and user goals.

Workflow

  1. Identify the user workflow and the primary decision on the screen.
  2. Inspect existing UI patterns, tokens, components, and states before adding new ones.
  3. Choose a visual direction in concrete terms, not generic adjectives.
  4. Design the required states: empty, loading, error, disabled, selected, hover, focus, and success.
  5. Implement with the existing design system where available.
  6. Verify in a real browser or rendered output when the task changes visible UI.

Product Principles

  • Prefer clear hierarchy over decoration.
  • Make high-frequency tools compact and scannable.
  • Keep controls predictable and stateful.
  • Disabled controls should explain their dependency when possible.
  • Do not introduce a second visual system unless the project requires it.

Do Not

  • Ship UI based only on compilation.
  • Add decorative surfaces that do not support the workflow.
  • Hide unavailable actions when disabled-with-explanation is clearer.
  • Ignore responsive text fitting and layout overlap.

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.
