What it does

Frontend Design is an agent skill from BuilderIO/agent-native. Product-specific interface design for an Agent-Native app. Use when creating or changing any user-facing UI, including screenshot feedback, copy or density cleanup, settings, controls, or a visual redesign.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/visual-direction.md`).

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering API design. The repository describes itself as: A framework for building agentic apps.

When your agent uses it

  • Changing any user-facing UI
  • Including screenshot feedback
  • Density cleanup
  • A visual redesign

Example prompts

  • “/frontend-design”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e16da0c. 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

Frontend Design loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.6k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 718 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~56
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.6k

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 718 words (~1,209 tokens).

“Design around the user's task and the app's existing visual language. A distinctive interface comes from a clear product point of view, not extra decoration. Keep implementation accessible and responsive.”
