ui-design

A guide for deciding how a web or mini-program interface should look and be organised before it is built. It covers layout, typography, colours, visual hierarchy, design specifications, and prototypes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose a visual direction, plan screen layouts, define design rules, or create a prototype for a web interface or mini program.
Why use it?
It helps turn an unclear interface idea into concrete visual and structural decisions before implementation begins.

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

ui-design scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 341 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Sibling skills (local only)

Sibling CloudBase skills ship beside this skill. Use local relative paths such as ../auth-tool-cloudbase/SKILL.md.

If a referenced sibling skill file is missing from this environment, ask the user to install the full CloudBase plugin (or the missing skill). Do not HTTP-fetch remote skill or protocol markdown into the agent context.

Activation Contract

Use this first when

  • The request is to decide visual direction, produce a design specification, create a prototype, or make layout, typography, color, and visual hierarchy choices for an interface.
  • The implementation should follow a deliberate aesthetic rather than directly coding an already-approved design.

Read before writing code if

  • The response must choose typography, color, spacing, layout strategy, or other visual rules before code exists.
  • The user asks for "design", "prototype", "look and feel", or "style" rather than straight implementation.

Then also read

  • Web implementation -> ../web-development/SKILL.md
  • Mini program implementation -> ../miniprogram-development/SKILL.md

Do NOT use for

  • Backend-only tasks, database design, or pure API work without interface output.
  • Straight implementation of an already-approved UI without new design decisions.
  • Generic frontend coding requests where the visual direction is already settled.

Common mistakes / gotchas

  • Writing JSX, WXML, or CSS before outputting the design specification.
  • Falling back to generic AI layouts instead of an explicit aesthetic direction.
  • Jumping into implementation when the design intent is still unclear.
  • Ignoring platform constraints after the visual concept is defined.

Minimal checklist

When to use this skill

Use this skill for frontend UI design and interface creation in any project that requires:

  • Creating web pages or interfaces
  • Creating mini-program pages or interfaces
  • Designing frontend components
  • Creating prototypes or interfaces
  • Handling styling and visual effects
  • Any development task involving user interfaces

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.

ui-design is a skill published in the GitHub repository TencentCloudBase/CloudBase-AI-Toolkit (1,087 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 30 tokens to every session and 3,591 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
