metis: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/23-uiux-design-principles/SKILL.md

uiux-design-principles is a skill for Claude Code from terrene-foundation/metis. It costs 92 tokens per session (1,350 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A set of general principles for designing user interfaces and user experiences, especially for business software. It covers layout, navigation, visual emphasis, responsive screens, accessibility, and common interface patterns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when planning or building pages, forms, search and filtering, bulk actions, buttons, loading states, empty states, and accessible responsive layouts.
Why use it?
It gives you practical guidance for making screens understandable and usable across devices, without depending on a particular coding framework.

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

uiux-design-principles 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 11d 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.

UI/UX Design Principles

Framework-agnostic design principles and patterns for building professional enterprise applications. This skill is CRITICAL for all frontend work and should be invoked proactively before any UI implementation.

Overview

This skill provides:

  • Top-down design methodology (layout → features → components → details)
  • Layout and information architecture patterns
  • Visual hierarchy principles (F-pattern, Z-pattern, inverted pyramid)
  • Enterprise UX patterns (action hierarchy, search & filter, bulk actions)
  • Component design guidelines (cards, buttons, empty states, loading states)
  • Responsive design patterns for all breakpoints
  • Accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1 AA compliance)
  • Design system principles and naming conventions
  • Common pitfalls and solutions

    • Edge cases & boundary conditions (empty, loading, data volume, concurrency)
    • Accessibility resilience (zoom, keyboard, screen reader, touch)
    • Performance under stress (lazy loading, virtual scrolling, debouncing)

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.
