design

design is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from wyattowalsh/agents. It costs 60 tokens per session (4,274 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A design and review guide for user-facing interfaces, including screens, components, accessibility, motion, and design systems. It covers how an interface looks, works, and communicates status to people.

In plain words
What is it for?
Designing or auditing pages, dashboards, settings screens, forms, badges, status indicators, AI interfaces, and reusable visual styles.
Why use it?
It provides focused guidance when creating, improving, or checking an interface instead of treating every software task as a design problem.

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.

ModelPer sessionOnce invoked
Fable 5 $0.00060 $0.04274
Opus 5 $0.00030 $0.02137
Sonnet 5 $0.00012 $0.00855

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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 9 executable files (scripts/asset_toolkit/__init__.py, scripts/asset_toolkit/_shared.py, scripts/asset_toolkit/common.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 403 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Design

Create and critique user-facing interfaces with strong product judgment, accessible implementation, domain-appropriate taste, and rendered evidence.

Input: $ARGUMENTS - optional mode keyword plus a request, path, URL, or natural-language interface problem. Infer mode by default.


Dispatch

Route by intent, not by wording alone. Explicit mode words are primary hints, not hard locks; still attach secondary modules required by the target.

  • Refactor + Chrome Proof: edit existing UI code, then verify in the browser with Chrome DevTools MCP when available.
  • Badge Surface + System: add or audit project status badges, README badge rows, ShieldCN/shields styling, icon slugs, dynamic endpoints, and marker boundaries without rewriting the README.
  • Parallel Design Team + System: broad app redesign, design-system cleanup, or many-screen audit with file ownership and merge gates.

Changes

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.
