normalize

A design-consistency guide for bringing a feature into line with an existing design system, including its visual rules, components, and reusable style values.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to study design documentation and UI libraries, compare a feature with established patterns, and redesign inconsistent parts.
Why use it?
It helps uncover differences caused by one-off styles, missing shared values, or mismatched design decisions before changes are made.

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

normalize 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 2d 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

94% identical to normalize — 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 — 70 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Analyze and redesign the feature to perfectly match our design system standards, aesthetics, and established patterns.

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.


Plan

Before making changes, deeply understand the context:

  1. Discover the design system: Search for design system documentation, UI guidelines, component libraries, or style guides (grep for "design system", "ui guide", "style guide", etc.). Study it thoroughly until you understand:

    • Core design principles and aesthetic direction
    • Target audience and personas
    • Component patterns and conventions
    • Design tokens (colors, typography, spacing)

    CRITICAL: If something isn't clear, ask. Don't guess at design system principles.

  2. Analyze the current feature: Assess what works and what doesn't:

    • Where does it deviate from design system patterns?
    • Which inconsistencies are cosmetic vs. functional?
    • What's the root cause—missing tokens, one-off implementations, or conceptual misalignment?
  3. Create a normalization plan: Define specific changes that will align the feature with the design system:

    • Which components can be replaced with design system equivalents?
    • Which styles need to use design tokens instead of hard-coded values?
    • How can UX patterns match established user flows?

    IMPORTANT: Great design is effective design. Prioritize UX consistency and usability over visual polish alone. Think through the best possible experience for your use case and personas first.

Execute

Systematically address all inconsistencies across these dimensions:

  • Typography: Use design system fonts, sizes, weights, and line heights. Replace hard-coded values with typographic tokens or classes.
  • Color & Theme: Apply design system color tokens. Remove one-off color choices that break the palette.
  • Spacing & Layout: Use spacing tokens (margins, padding, gaps). Align with grid systems and layout patterns used elsewhere.
  • Components: Replace custom implementations with design system components. Ensure props and variants match established patterns.
  • Motion & Interaction: Match animation timing, easing, and interaction patterns to other features.
  • Responsive Behavior: Ensure breakpoints and responsive patterns align with design system standards.
  • Accessibility: Verify contrast ratios, focus states, ARIA labels match design system requirements.
  • Progressive Disclosure: Match information hierarchy and complexity management to established patterns.

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.

normalize is a skill published in the GitHub repository subhansh-dev/agent-maxxing (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 12 tokens to every session and 783 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 94% identical to normalize, differing in 11 lines, and is treated as a copy.
