What it does

UI Guide is an agent skill from ad-repo/nullplayer. Coordinate systems, scaling architecture, hit testing, skin sprite rendering, window layout, and Compact Mode for NullPlayer's UI. Use when working on window scaling, skin rendering, coordinate transforms, visual layout, compact/status-item windows, or playlist/marquee text rendering.

Its SKILL.md is about 24k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: nullPlayer is a free open source macOS media player with some unique features.

When your agent uses it

  • Working on window scaling
  • Coordinate transforms
  • Compact/status-item windows
  • Playlist/marquee text rendering

Example prompts

  • “/ui-guide”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Shared non-UI logic in a neutral folder (for example Waveform/)
  2. Classic chrome in Windows/...
  3. Modern chrome in Windows/Modern...
  4. Registration and docking behavior in WindowManager

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3d87ce1. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are swift).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • skins.webamp.org

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

UI Guide loads about 24k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 12,089 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~74
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~24k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 12,089 words (~24,211 tokens).

“Reference for working on NullPlayer's skin-style UI and skin system.”
