What it does

I Colorize is an agent skill from boussadjra/vuestrata. Add strategic color to features that are too monochromatic or lack visual interest. Makes interfaces more engaging and expressive.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Frontend & Design. The repository describes itself as: A modern, production-ready Vue 3 template with multi-theme support, Reka UI wrappers, and enterprise-grade tooling. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Frontend & Design work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/i-colorize”

Workflow steps

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

  1. If you don't find exact information and have to infer from existing design and functionality, you MUST STOP and ask the user directly to…
  2. Otherwise, if you can't fully infer or your level of confidence is medium or lower, you MUST ask the user directly to clarify what you…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 73cbf9f. 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

I Colorize loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 35 tokens; SKILL.md has 939 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~35
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k

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.

Strategically introduce color to designs that are too monochromatic, gray, or lacking in visual warmth and personality.

MANDATORY PREPARATION

Context Gathering (Do This First)

You cannot do a great job without having necessary context, such as target audience (critical), desired use-cases (critical), brand personality/tone, and especially existing brand colors.

Attempt to gather these from the current thread or codebase.

  1. If you don't find exact information and have to infer from existing design and functionality, you MUST STOP and ask the user directly to clarify what you cannot infer. whether you got it right.
  2. Otherwise, if you can't fully infer or your level of confidence is medium or lower, you MUST ask the user directly to clarify what you cannot infer. clarifying questions first to complete your context.

Do NOT proceed until you have answers. Guessing leads to generic AI slop colors.

Use frontend-design skill

Use the i-frontend-design skill for design principles and anti-patterns. Do NOT proceed until it has executed and you know all DO's and DON'Ts.


Assess Color Opportunity

Analyze the current state and identify opportunities:

  1. Understand current state:

    • Color absence: Pure grayscale? Limited neutrals? One timid accent?
    • Missed opportunities: Where could color add meaning, hierarchy, or delight?
    • Context: What's appropriate for this domain and audience?
    • Brand: Are there existing brand colors we should use?
  2. Identify where color adds value:

    • Semantic meaning: Success (green), error (red), warning (yellow/orange), info (blue)
    • Hierarchy: Drawing attention to important elements
    • Categorization: Different sections, types, or states
    • Emotional tone: Warmth, energy, trust, creativity
    • Wayfinding: Helping users navigate and understand structure
    • Delight: Moments of visual interest and personality

If any of these are unclear from the codebase, ask the user directly to clarify what you cannot infer.

CRITICAL: More color ≠ better. Strategic color beats rainbow vomit every time. Every color should have a purpose.

Plan Color Strategy

Create a purposeful color introduction plan:

  • Color palette: What colors match the brand/context? (Choose 2-4 colors max beyond neutrals)
  • Dominant color: Which color owns 60% of colored elements?
  • Accent colors: Which colors provide contrast and highlights? (30% and 10%)
  • Application strategy: Where does each color appear and why?

IMPORTANT: Color should enhance hierarchy and meaning, not create chaos. Less is more when it matters more.

Introduce Color Strategically

Add color systematically across these dimensions:

Semantic Color
  • State indicators:

    • Success: Green tones (emerald, forest, mint)
    • Error: Red/pink tones (rose, crimson, coral)
    • Warning: Orange/amber tones
    • Info: Blue tones (sky, ocean, indigo)
    • Neutral: Gray/slate for inactive states
  • Status badges: Colored backgrounds or borders for states (active, pending, completed, etc.)

  • Progress indicators: Colored bars, rings, or charts showing completion or health

Accent Color Application
  • Primary actions: Color the most important buttons/CTAs
  • Links: Add color to clickable text (maintain accessibility)
  • Icons: Colorize key icons for recognition and personality
  • Headers/titles: Add color to section headers or key labels
  • Hover states: Introduce color on interaction
Background & Surfaces
  • Tinted backgrounds: Replace pure gray (#f5f5f5) with warm neutrals (oklch(97% 0.01 60)) or cool tints (oklch(97% 0.01 250))
  • Colored sections: Use subtle background colors to separate areas
  • Gradient backgrounds: Add depth with subtle, intentional gradients (not generic purple-blue)
  • Cards & surfaces: Tint cards or surfaces slightly for warmth

Use OKLCH for color: It's perceptually uniform, meaning equal steps in lightness look equal. Great for generating harmonious scales.

Data Visualization
  • Charts & graphs: Use color to encode categories or values
  • Heatmaps: Color intensity shows density or importance
  • Comparison: Color coding for different datasets or timeframes
Show full SKILL.md (371 more words)Show less
Borders & Accents
  • Accent borders: Add colored left/top borders to cards or sections
  • Underlines: Color underlines for emphasis or active states
  • Dividers: Subtle colored dividers instead of gray lines
  • Focus rings: Colored focus indicators matching brand
Typography Color
  • Colored headings: Use brand colors for section headings (maintain contrast)
  • Highlight text: Color for emphasis or categories
  • Labels & tags: Small colored labels for metadata or categories
Decorative Elements
  • Illustrations: Add colored illustrations or icons
  • Shapes: Geometric shapes in brand colors as background elements
  • Gradients: Colorful gradient overlays or mesh backgrounds
  • Blobs/organic shapes: Soft colored shapes for visual interest

Balance & Refinement

Ensure color addition improves rather than overwhelms:

Maintain Hierarchy
  • Dominant color (60%): Primary brand color or most used accent
  • Secondary color (30%): Supporting color for variety
  • Accent color (10%): High contrast for key moments
  • Neutrals (remaining): Gray/black/white for structure
Accessibility
  • Contrast ratios: Ensure WCAG compliance (4.5:1 for text, 3:1 for UI components)
  • Don't rely on color alone: Use icons, labels, or patterns alongside color
  • Test for color blindness: Verify red/green combinations work for all users
Cohesion
  • Consistent palette: Use colors from defined palette, not arbitrary choices
  • Systematic application: Same color meanings throughout (green always = success)
  • Temperature consistency: Warm palette stays warm, cool stays cool

NEVER:

  • Use every color in the rainbow (choose 2-4 colors beyond neutrals)
  • Apply color randomly without semantic meaning
  • Put gray text on colored backgrounds—it looks washed out; use a darker shade of the background color or transparency instead
  • Use pure gray for neutrals—add subtle color tint (warm or cool) for sophistication
  • Use pure black (#000) or pure white (#fff) for large areas
  • Violate WCAG contrast requirements
  • Use color as the only indicator (accessibility issue)
  • Make everything colorful (defeats the purpose)
  • Default to purple-blue gradients (AI slop aesthetic)

Verify Color Addition

Test that colorization improves the experience:

  • Better hierarchy: Does color guide attention appropriately?
  • Clearer meaning: Does color help users understand states/categories?
  • More engaging: Does the interface feel warmer and more inviting?
  • Still accessible: Do all color combinations meet WCAG standards?
  • Not overwhelming: Is color balanced and purposeful?

Remember: Color is emotional and powerful. Use it to create warmth, guide attention, communicate meaning, and express personality. But restraint and strategy matter more than saturation and variety. Be colorful, but be intentional.
