frontend

A set of visual-design guidelines for building and reviewing web pages, components, and other user interfaces.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when choosing a web style, writing CSS, building a UI, or assessing why an interface feels unfinished or inexpensive.
Why use it?
It helps avoid interfaces that look generic by guiding visual direction, typography, spacing, colour, depth, motion, and design critique.

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.

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

frontend 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.

What it actually says

Frontend — taste, styles, craft, and what to refuse

Rule content lives in the five files below; this SKILL.md only routes (duplicating rule text here is drift — doctrine/04-maintenance.md governs edits to this bundle too).

Route by moment

You are about to… Read (in this folder)
Start any page/component/artifact — brief to shipped process.md first; it routes onward
Pick a visual direction, or choose between styles styles.md
Understand what makes a design striking vs mediocre; make a boring design memorable taste.md
Write actual CSS values — type, space, color, depth, motion, dark mode craft.md
Judge a design (yours or anyone's); name precisely why something feels cheap garbage.md

Start with the ONE file that matches and follow its cross-references — they are required inputs, not optional reading. Starting from scratch usually means process.md + the two files it points you to.

Scope and neighbors

This bundle is the visual/aesthetic layer only. Server-side design (stack, APIs, data) → the backend bundle; whether to delegate → doctrine; how to think → methods. If the environment provides an artifact-design skill (harness-side), it calibrates how much to invest per request; THIS bundle governs direction and craft once you're building.

The stance

Left unguided, every model produces the same page (garbage.md §A names it precisely). What taste means here — and why a clean-but-forgettable page counts as a failure — is taste.md's opening; read it before judging any design.

Files

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.

Changes

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.

frontend is a skill published in the GitHub repository telagod/code-abyss (240 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 80 tokens to every session and 470 once invoked, about $0.0004 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.
