What is ux-navigation?

A design guide for navigation systems, including menus, sidebars, tabs, breadcrumbs, and pagination. It matches the navigation pattern to the structure of the content and how people move through it.

Use it to design or review headers, navbars, sidebars, menus, tabs, breadcrumbs, pagination, and other ways of moving around a product or website.

It helps prevent important sections from being hidden and gives users clear signs of where they are and how to get elsewhere.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00089	$0.02930
Opus 5.5	$0.00036	$0.01172
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00018	$0.00586
Haiku 4.5	$0.00009	$0.00293

Security

Grade A, and why

ux-navigation 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 2mo 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 — 144 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

How this skill behaves (read first)

This is a generative skill. The default failure modes: pattern-by-habit (a top bar with a hamburger regardless of IA depth, breadth, or platform), hidden essentials (core sections buried behind icons), and missing wayfinding (no "you are here" signals, so users dropped in by search are lost). Navigation is chosen by the structure of the content and how users move through it — not by what modern sites look like. This skill gates:

Establish the IA shape and platform — these mostly decide the pattern.
Apply the always-true core — system layering, wayfinding signals, visible essentials, interaction basics.
Surface the pattern decisions (top bar vs. sidebar, hamburger, mega menu, tabs, breadcrumbs, pagination vs. infinite scroll) with trade-offs.

Then it hands off to ux-heuristics-audit, ux-accessibility-audit, ux-aesthetics-audit, and ux-microcopy-audit — and, as a multi-screen structure, to ux-information-architecture-audit.

Step 0 — Establish context before designing

Ask if not known; state the assumption if proceeding without an answer:

IA shape — how many top-level sections, how deep the hierarchy, and is it expected to grow? (Breadth/growth pushes toward vertical nav and mega menus; shallow + stable fits a top bar or tabs.)
Platform — desktop, mobile, or responsive? Mobile flips defaults: bottom nav for top destinations, single-breadcrumb, hamburger placement by OS convention.
Content-focused or task-based? Content apps (news, video) can minimize chrome and hide secondary nav; task apps (booking, fitness) need persistent, visible navigation.
Entry points — do users land deep via search/links? Then wayfinding signals (breadcrumbs, titles, URLs) matter far more than the homepage path.

The always-apply core (correct for almost every case)

Layer the navigation systems — each has a job

Global (main sections, consistent on every page) · local (within a section; inverted-L with global on top) · contextual (related links in/after content) · utility (login, search, language, account — top corner, familiar labels, text language names not flags) · footer (legal, sitemap, contact, social; a "fat footer" can carry rich secondary nav). Don't make one layer do another's job — breadcrumbs never replace global nav.

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.
