What it does

Lamina UX is an agent skill from aryaniyaps/lamina. Design understandable and accessible product interactions. Use when shaping workflows, information architecture, navigation, interface copy, forms, controls, empty states, onboarding, feedback, error recovery, progressive disclosure, discoverability, accessibility, trust, group dynamics, or interaction edge cases. Use lamina-product-behavior for authoritative state rules and lamina-evaluation to judge a built product.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 18 other files, including reference files (for example `references/accessibility.md`, `references/content-design.md` and `references/controls-and-menus.md`).

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering UX design and Accessibility. The repository describes itself as: Headless product design for AI coding agents, backed by a transactional product graph | Design how it works, verify what you ship. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Shaping workflows
  • Information architecture
  • Progressive disclosure
  • Discoverability

Example prompts

  • “/lamina-ux”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Match the request's primary interaction risk to one row below.
  2. Open that linked reference before answering. Add another only when a second
  3. Start the response with Using lamina-ux: so the selected

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit af269ef. 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.

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Lamina UX loads about 1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 108 tokens; SKILL.md has 377 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~108
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~6.9k

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.

Reference-loading protocol

  1. Match the request's primary interaction risk to one row below.
  2. Open that linked reference before answering. Add another only when a second risk materially changes the answer; do not preload the directory.
  3. Start the response with Using lamina-ux: <topic path(s)> so the selected interaction lens is auditable.

Working rule

Use the smallest sufficient reference set. Common pairs are forms + error handling, navigation + information architecture, and feedback + trust for high-stakes asynchronous actions. Accessibility applies to every critical interaction but load its full reference when accessibility behavior is a decision, acceptance target, or stated risk.
