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.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →
- medium Rogue Agent · line 42 Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.
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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00104 | $0.02905 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00052 | $0.01452 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00021 | $0.00581 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00291 |
Grade A, and why
minoan-frontend-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 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 100 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Build frontend interfaces that are unmistakably designed, not generated. Every interface should feel like a specific designer made specific choices for a specific context.
Context Protocol
Before designing, check for .design-context.md in the project root. If absent and this is a new project, run /shape for a full design brief — or ask the user directly: who uses this, what should it feel like, what should it NOT look like. Don't infer audience from code — code tells you what was built, not who it's for.
Creative Direction
Name the conceptual direction before coding—"Bloomberg Terminal," "medical journal," "zine collage," "VHS dreamworld," "intelligence dossier." The name anchors every subsequent decision.
Root every aesthetic choice in the subject itself. A jazz club's website should feel like smoke and brass. A children's reading app should feel like opening a pop-up book. A fintech dashboard should feel like a control room, not a toy. The design should be so fitted to its context that transplanting the aesthetic to a different project would feel wrong.
Commit to a singular direction: brutally minimal, maximalist chaos, luxury/refined, lo-fi/zine, dark and moody, editorial/magazine, brutalist/raw, retro-futuristic, art deco/geometric, cinematic/widescreen, data-dense/scientific, or something entirely unnamed. The final design should feel like nothing else.
Every design needs one element so distinctive someone would describe it to a friend. Find that element and let everything else serve it.
Typography
Typography carries the design's voice—it should have weight you can feel. Default fonts signal default thinking: skip Arial, Inter, Roboto, Space Grotesk, system stacks. Display type should provoke. Body text should be legible and refined. Pair them like actors in a scene—tension creates character. Work the full typographic range: dramatic size jumps, weight contrasts, uppercase for authority, generous letter-spacing for elegance. Control hierarchy through weight and color, not just scale.
What ships with it
60 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.
- 12d ago First seen · 100 lines · 104 tokens per session scan A 6afaf28da323
minoan-frontend-design is a skill published in the GitHub repository tdimino/claude-code-minoan (41 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 104 tokens to every session and 2,905 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-08-30.
