ui-spec

ui-spec is a skill for Claude Code from tranhieutt/software_development_department. It costs 18 tokens per session (653 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A procedure for turning product requirements and prototypes into a detailed technical specification for a user interface.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to document component structure, screen states, interactive behavior, and accessibility requirements before implementation.
Why use it?
It connects acceptance criteria and prototype behavior to reusable components, interactions, and loading, error, and empty states.

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-spec 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 9d 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.

Skill: /ui-spec

Use this skill when moving from a PRD (Requirements) to a technical UI design. This skill bridges the gap between wireframes and code.

The UI Spec Lifecycle

1. Analysis Phase

  • Map ACs: Map every Acceptance Criterion from the PRD to a UI screen or interaction.
  • Prototype Ingestion: If prototype code exists (e.g., from prototyper), read it to understand components and states.

2. Decomposition Phase

  • Define the Component Tree.
  • Identify which components can be reused from the existing codebase vs. which need to be new.

3. Specification Phase

Fill out the ui-spec-template including:

  • State Matrix: Explicitly define what the user sees during Loading, Error, and Empty states.
  • Interactions: Use EARS format (Condition-Trigger-Response) for all interactive elements.

4. Integration Phase

  • Link the UI Spec in the feature's [Design Doc].
  • Use the UI Spec as the checklist for the frontend-developer.

The State x Display Matrix

Every component MUST define behavior for these 5 states:

  1. Default: The "Happy Path".
  2. Loading: Bone skeletal screens or spinners.
  3. Empty: Context-aware messages when no data exists.
  4. Error: User-friendly error messages with recovery actions (Retry/Reset).
  5. Partial: Behavior when some data is missing or loading.

Accessibility (A11y) Rules

  • Every interaction must have a keyboard equivalent.
  • Every interactive element must have an ARIA role and label.
  • Color contrast ratios must meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA (4.5:1 for normal text).

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.
