What it does
Typeui Fundamentals is an agent skill from bergside/typeui. Universal UI/UX design principles covering visual hierarchy, interaction laws, typography foundations, and WCAG accessibility requirements. Use when making design decisions not covered by a specific design system, validating principle compliance, or resolving conflicts between aesthetics and accessibility. Design-system-agnostic and applies to every surface.
Its SKILL.md is about 860 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files (for example `accessibility.md`, `spacing-principles.md` and `typography-principles.md`).
It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Accessibility, Design systems and UI design. The repository describes itself as: Build better UI with AI. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Making design decisions not covered by a specific design system
- Validating principle compliance
- Resolving conflicts between aesthetics and accessibility
Example prompts
- “/typeui-fundamentals”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Design system wins for concrete values (colors, sizes, spacing tokens, component specs).
- Fundamentals (this layer) win for structural principles (hierarchy, accessibility, motion logic).
- Vertical wins for process decisions AND content architecture (section order, required sections, industry tone).
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2a977f1. 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
Typeui Fundamentals loads about 861 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 95 tokens; SKILL.md has 330 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

Design Fundamentals — Agent Instructions
Universal design principles that define why patterns work, how to apply them correctly, and what accessibility requirements are non-negotiable. These are timeless, design-system-agnostic foundations that apply to every surface regardless of vertical or workflow phase.
Load order
Read these files after loading the design system (SKILL.md / DESIGN.md + token modules). The design system tells you what token to use; these files explain why that decision is correct and how to avoid common principle violations.
Module index
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
| ui-principles.md | Universal visual design principles — hierarchy, layout rhythm, typography placement, color theory, depth & layering, interaction design, responsive adaptation, component behavior |
| spacing-principles.md | Spacing-specific principles — 4-point grid, proximity grouping, inner vs outer gaps, vertical and horizontal rhythm, heading→paragraph spacing, section and component spacing tiers |
| ux-principles.md | Interaction & control principles — 30 UX laws, button/control state contracts (9 states), hover/active technique palettes, touch targets, cognitive load, feedback loops |
| typography-principles.md | Typography-specific principles — type system foundations, scale & modular ratios, readability & measure, accessibility, responsive type, brand tone expression through type |
| accessibility.md | WCAG 2.1/2.2 compliance — contrast ratios, color-as-information rules, focus visibility, keyboard navigation, motion safety, target sizes, text spacing, semantic structure, ARIA |
What these files are NOT
These files do not define:
- Workflow phases (think → build → check → ship) — see
skills/vertical/SKILL.md - Quality gates or audits — see
skills/vertical/inspect.md,review.md,preflight.md - Anti-pattern catalogs — see
skills/vertical/anti-patterns.md - Industry-specific content — see
skills/vertical/team-social-saas.md - Design tokens or component specs — see
skills/design-system/SKILL.md
Conflict resolution
When sources disagree:
- Design system wins for concrete values (colors, sizes, spacing tokens, component specs).
- Fundamentals (this layer) win for structural principles (hierarchy, accessibility, motion logic).
- Vertical wins for process decisions AND content architecture (section order, required sections, industry tone).
Accessibility is non-negotiable at every level — it overrides aesthetic preferences everywhere.
When the design system is silent, these principles decide
Any design decision not covered by the system's tokens or component rules falls back to the principles here. Never contradict the design system — if a principle and a design-system rule conflict, the design system wins. Flag the conflict for review.
