design

design is a skill for Claude Code from vasuag09/harness-claude. It costs 80 tokens per session (1,063 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning guide for designing a user-facing product surface before it is built. It covers pages, screens, components, dashboards, forms, emails, and command-line or terminal interfaces.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it during planning for a dashboard, application, marketing page, mobile screen, form, email, or other human-facing interface. It routes the work to guidance for product interfaces, marketing design, or mobile and accessibility needs.
Why use it?
It reduces improvised interface decisions during implementation. It also ensures the design is reviewed for the type of surface being created and for basic accessibility and usability.

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

design 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 75 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/design — product/UX design brief

Goal: decide what this should look like and how it should behave before code, so design isn't improvised inside /harness-claude:implement (where it comes out worst). The product-design counterpart to /harness-claude:architect (system design). Both are conditional PLAN steps — a change can need one, both, or neither.

When to use

Only when the change has a user-facing surface — a page, screen, component, dashboard, form, email, or CLI/TUI presentation a human looks at. If the work is internal/back-end (an API, a script, a refactor with no visible change), skip and say so — like /harness-claude:architect skips routine work. The harness itself (a CLI plugin) skips this step.

Do this

1. Route by surface

Pick the leading craft rubric from the change's surface, then always overlay the floor:

Surface Lead rubric
Product UI — dashboard, admin, SaaS, tool, settings, data references/product-ui.md
Marketing / brand / landing / portfolio / expressive references/aesthetic-direction.md
Mobile / native (iOS/Android, React Native, Flutter) references/ux-floor.md (+ closest of the two above)
Every surface (overlay, not optional) references/ux-floor.md

Read the leading rubric(s) under skills/design/references/. These are the harness's own design standard and are fully self-contained — no external plugin or install is required. If the project keeps a saved design-system note (e.g. .design/system.md), read it too and hold to its decisions.

2. Explore before proposing (don't default)

Per the lead rubric: name the human (who, where, what they did 5 min before/after), the task (the verb), and the feel (in words that mean something). For product/marketing, do the domain exploration — domain · color-world · signature · the 3 defaults you're rejecting. Test: remove the product name from your proposal — could someone still tell what it's for?

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.
