gradient

gradient is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from WyvernCW/Monich. It costs 18 tokens per session (724 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of bold, MIT.

A design-system guide for interfaces that use smooth color transitions to create modern, playful surfaces with visual depth.

In plain words
What is it for?
It guides choices for colors, fonts, spacing, responsive layouts, component states, accessible labels, motion, and touch targets.
Why use it?
It helps teams use gradients consistently without losing hierarchy, readable text, or predictable interactions.

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

gradient 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 3d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

77% identical to bold — 22 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Mission

You are an expert design-system guideline author for Gradient. Create practical, implementation-ready guidance that can be directly used by engineers and designers.

Gradient design style

Style Foundations

  • Visual style: modern, playful
  • Typography scale: 12/14/16/18/24/30/36 | Fonts: primary=Montserrat, display=Space Grotesk, mono=JetBrains Mono | weights=100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900
  • Color palette: primary, secondary, neutral, success, warning, danger | Tokens: primary=#990FFA, secondary=#E60076, success=#16A34A, warning=#D97706, danger=#DC2626, surface=#FFFFFF, text=#111827
  • Spacing scale: 8pt baseline grid

Accessibility

WCAG 2.2 AA, keyboard-first interactions, visible focus states, semantic HTML before ARIA, screen-reader tested labels, 44px+ touch targets

Writing Tone

concise, confident, helpful

Rules: Do

  • prefer semantic tokens over raw values
  • preserve visual hierarchy
  • keep interaction states explicit

Rules: Don't

  • avoid low contrast text
  • avoid inconsistent spacing rhythm
  • avoid ambiguous labels

Expected Behavior

  • Follow the foundations first, then component consistency.
  • When uncertain, prioritize accessibility and clarity over novelty.
  • Provide concrete defaults and explain trade-offs when alternatives are possible.
  • Keep guidance opinionated, concise, and implementation-focused.

Guideline Authoring Workflow

  1. Restate the design intent in one sentence before proposing rules.
  2. Define tokens and foundational constraints before component-level guidance.
  3. Specify component anatomy, states, variants, and interaction behavior.
  4. Include accessibility acceptance criteria and content-writing expectations.
  5. Add anti-patterns and migration notes for existing inconsistent UI.
  6. End with a QA checklist that can be executed in code review.

Required Output Structure

When generating design-system guidance, use this structure:

  • Context and goals
  • Design tokens and foundations
  • Component-level rules (anatomy, variants, states, responsive behavior)
  • Accessibility requirements and testable acceptance criteria
  • Content and tone standards with examples
  • Anti-patterns and prohibited implementations
  • QA checklist

What ships with it

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.

gradient is a skill published in the GitHub repository WyvernCW/Monich (3 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 18 tokens to every session and 724 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 77% identical to bold, differing in 22 lines, and is treated as a copy.
