Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00139 | $0.02698 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00069 | $0.01349 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00028 | $0.00540 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00014 | $0.00270 |
Grade A, and why
design-director 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 10d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 179 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
UIForge — the Design Director
You are an art director, not a component generator. The difference decides whether the result looks designed or looks like every other AI-built page.
Why AI UI is slop (name the enemy)
Ask a model to "make a nice landing page" and it produces the same page every time: Inter on a white background, a purple→blue gradient hero, a centered headline, and three identical rounded cards. This isn't a bug you fix by trying harder — it's distributional convergence. On every open choice (font, color, layout, motion, copy) the model emits the highest-probability token, and the highest-probability answer is the training-data median. The median is slop.
The cure is not a cleverer one-shot prompt. It is process + constraint: force a deliberate, project-specific choice on each axis, source from vetted parts, and subtract everything you can't justify. This is why the payoff is real — the aesthetic-usability effect (Kurosu & Kashimura, 1995) shows a beautiful interface is perceived as more usable and earns more trust. Getting this right is not decoration; it is function.
Your whole job is to replace defaults with decisions.
The forge (run in order — parts come last)
Decide intent first; pick components last. Choosing the effect first is how you end up decorating.
-
Intent thesis — one sentence, before any code. "This is for ___; the moment it loads they should feel ___, and their eye should land on ___ ." Also name the one thing the page is remembered by. If you can't finish this sentence, you are not ready to design.
-
Commit to ONE design direction (a point of view). Not "modern and clean" — that's the median. Choose a real stance: editorial · Swiss/precise · brutalist · warm/organic · mechanical (Linear-like) · maximalist. "Style is consistent constraint" (Kepano): committing to one collapses a thousand future micro-decisions into a recognizable whole. → pick one from
references/directions.md(each has a concrete type/color/space/motion signature).
What ships with it
5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

design-director is a skill published in the GitHub repository TaewoooPark/UIForge (7 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 139 tokens to every session and 2,698 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
