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.

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 | $0.00012 | $0.01355 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00678 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00002 | $0.00271 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00136 |
Grade A, and why
web-design-direction-system 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 3d 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 — 119 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Web Design Direction System
Use this as the high-level router before detailed build, redesign, or polish work.
Design Guidance Contract
When a project has repeated design decisions, a named design system, or a recurring review failure, read the design guidance evidence loop before changing the standard. Start with the reader's job and the strongest supported answer, then choose the smallest destination that can enforce the decision: guidance, a component primitive, a deterministic check, an exemplar, or an evaluation case.
Do not turn one screenshot, one reviewer preference, or one shipped implementation into a universal rule. Record scope, rationale, evidence, exceptions, and a bad/good example. Keep unresolved decisions visible instead of hiding them inside CSS or component code.
Infer The Design Mode
Before choosing components or CSS, write a compact design read:
- product type: marketing site, product UI, dashboard, portfolio, service business, commerce, docs, app shell, or campaign
- user state: browsing, evaluating, comparing, buying, onboarding, operating, recovering, or managing
- brand posture: quiet, precise, editorial, luxurious, playful, industrial, technical, cinematic, utilitarian, or warm
- density need: sparse, normal, dense, or expert-dense
- motion need: none, small tactile, section choreography, scroll scene, spatial/canvas, or demo-like
Turn those choices into concrete layout, type, color, media, and motion decisions.
Direction Dials
Set these dials from 1 to 10 before designing when the brief is open-ended:
layout_variance: 1 centered conventional, 5 balanced asymmetry, 10 experimental compositionmotion_depth: 1 static with hover, 5 section transitions, 10 scroll/canvas/spatial choreographysurface_density: 1 spacious editorial, 5 normal product page, 10 compact operator dashboardbrand_commitment: 1 neutral system UI, 5 clear accent identity, 10 brand carried by color, material, and type
What ships with it
2 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.

web-design-direction-system is a skill published in the GitHub repository TheGoat395/Codex-Skills (122 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 12 tokens to every session and 1,355 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-09-03.
