css-structure

css-structure is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from TheDecipherist/claude-code-mastery-project-starter-kit. It costs 104 tokens per session (882 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for keeping web-page styles in separate CSS files linked to the HTML, instead of putting them directly in the page.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps when building or editing web pages and components, especially when deciding where new styles should go.
Why use it?
It prevents large, messy HTML files and scattered inline styles that are harder to reuse, override, and make responsive.

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

css-structure 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 4d 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 — 57 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CSS Structure: Where Styles Live

Claude's default is to pour everything into one HTML file, either a big <style> block or style="..." attributes on each element. In a real project that's the wrong default. Styles belong in a .css file.

Default: an external stylesheet, linked

When building a page or component in a project that has a file structure, put the CSS in its own file and link it:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/styles/app.css" />

It's reusable across pages, cached separately by the browser, keeps the markup readable, and lets the cascade and media queries work. This is the default to reach for instead of an inline block, not the thing to do only when asked.

Avoid scattered inline style="..." attributes

Inline style attributes are the worst of the three options, for concrete reasons, not style preference:

  • They can't be responsive or interactive. No media queries, no :hover/:focus, no ::before/::after, no keyframes. An inline-styled element literally cannot be made responsive (see responsive-css), so it fights everything that skill is about.
  • They have the highest specificity short of !important. Overriding an inline style later means escalating to !important, which starts a specificity war.
  • No reuse, no caching, noisy markup. The same declarations get repeated on every element, ship on every page load, and bury the HTML structure.

A single <style> block is fine for a deliberately single-file deliverable

Don't over-correct into "never embed." One <style> block in the head is the right call for a genuinely single-file thing: a standalone demo, a self-contained artifact, a quick reproduction. Email HTML is the opposite special case, mail clients strip <style> and external sheets, so email actually requires inline attributes. The rule is about defaults: the moment there's a project with folders, move the CSS into a file rather than defaulting to one big file because it's easier to paste.
