create-mockups

create-mockups is a skill for Claude Code from tomzx/agents. It costs 34 tokens per session (2,379 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A visual design document for a feature, such as a wireframe or screen mockup, showing layout, interface parts, interaction states, and user flows.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to settle screen layouts, components, accessibility considerations, and interaction flows from approved requirements and specifications. Skip it for features without a user interface.
Why use it?
It gives the team a shared picture of the interface before coding begins, reducing improvised design and rework during review.

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

create-mockups 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 22d 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.

Create Mockups

Produces UI mockups for a feature from its requirements and specification, settling the visual layout, component breakdown, interaction states, and flows before a line of UI code is written.

Each screen is delivered as a self-contained HTML document under .sdlc/features/N-<slug>/mockups/, with a companion mockups.md that carries the narrative: regions, components, states, flow, responsiveness, accessibility, and copy.

Without this step, UI work starts with no shared picture of what to build, so layout, states, and accessibility are improvised during implementation and reworked in review.

For features with no user interface (a pure API, a background job, a CLI), skip this phase and state the skip explicitly.

Prerequisites

  • Apply the shared SDLC conventions in skills/sdlc/references/shared.md.
  • If no argument is provided, locate the feature directory under .sdlc/features/ whose frontmatter issue field references $ISSUE_NUMBER.
  • .sdlc/features/N-<slug>/requirements.md (must have passed review with findings verdict approved), or a requirements document provided in context or as a file path ($1)
  • .sdlc/features/N-<slug>/specification.md (must have passed review with findings verdict approved, if produced): reuse the data models, API contracts, and flows it defines so the mockups stay faithful to what the system can actually deliver
  • .sdlc/features/N-<slug>/lifecycle.md (optional, if a lifecycle document was produced): reflect resource states and transitions in the UI states (e.g., show different views or disabled actions based on the resource's current state)
  • .sdlc/features/N-<slug>/codebase-analysis.md (optional, if existing code was analyzed): reuse existing UI components and patterns it inventoried, and honor any "must not change" constraints on shared components

Steps

  1. Read the requirements, the specification if present, and the codebase analysis if present.
  2. Decide whether the feature has a UI surface. If it does not, emit verdict: skipped (do not write mockups.md and do not create the mockups/ directory). The skipped verdict routes the pipeline straight to the next phase, bypassing /review-mockups.
  3. Inventory every screen, view, or dialog the feature needs, cross-referenced against the requirements and the spec's flows.
  4. For each screen, author a self-contained HTML mockup at .sdlc/features/N-<slug>/mockups/<screen-slug>.html. The document shows the layout, labels each region, highlights the primary action, and renders every interaction state as its own labelled section. It uses inline CSS only (no external stylesheets, scripts, fonts, or images, and no build step) so it opens directly in a browser from file://. Media queries cover the target viewports so resizing the window demonstrates the responsive behavior.
  5. Break the UI down into components, marking which already exist in the codebase (reuse), which must be extended, and which are new.
  6. For each key component and screen, enumerate its interaction states: empty, loading, populated, error, and disabled or read-only where relevant. Each state also appears as a labelled section in the screen's HTML mockup.
  7. Map the navigation between screens as a flow, including entry points, exits, and the back path, rendered as a Mermaid flowchart in mockups.md.
  8. Specify responsive behavior across the viewports the feature targets (mobile, tablet, desktop), noting what collapses, reorders, or hides.
  9. Call out accessibility requirements: keyboard reachability, focus order and visible focus, screen-reader labels, color-contrast targets, and minimum touch-target sizes.
  10. Note copy and content as placeholders so writers can fill them without changing layout.
  11. Flag where a static HTML mockup is insufficient (motion, drag-and-drop, canvas, real data density, interactive prototype behavior) and a Figma file or clickable prototype is warranted, with a pointer or request.
  12. Write the narrative to .sdlc/features/N-<slug>/mockups.md, linking each screen to its HTML mockup.

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.

create-mockups is a skill published in the GitHub repository tomzx/agents (13 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 34 tokens to every session and 2,379 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-31.
