What it does
Interface Redesign is an agent skill from cbrock84/headcount. Upgrades an existing interface to a higher standard without rebuilding it — auditing what is there, identifying what reads as generic or unfinished, and sequencing changes by impact. Use this when a product works but looks dated or default, when a redesign is being considered, when deciding whether to restyle or rebuild, or when a screen needs to look substantially better with limited effort.
Its SKILL.md is about 810 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/sources.md`).
The repository describes itself as: An agent organization structured as a company — 15+ departments, 125+ skills, each independently installable, citing the standards and regulators that settle the question. Runs… The licence is MIT.
Example prompts
- “Use the interface-redesign skill to upgrade an existing interface to a higher standard without rebuilding it — auditing what is there, identifying…”
- “/interface-redesign”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Structural — unclear primary action, competing focal points, navigation that does not match
- Systemic — inconsistent spacing, more type sizes than a scale would allow, palette drift,
- Craft — weak hierarchy, poor contrast, unfinished states, cramped density.
- Cosmetic — dated shadows, default border radii, stock illustration.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 98d1c17. 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
Interface Redesign loads about 805 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 104 tokens; SKILL.md has 432 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.

- description
- Upgrades an existing interface to a higher standard without rebuilding it — auditing what is there, identifying what reads as generic or unfinished, and sequencing changes by impact. Use this when a product works but looks dated or default, when a redesign is being considered, when deciding whether to restyle or rebuild, or when a screen needs to look substantially better with limited effort.
Interface redesign
Most interfaces do not need rebuilding. They need a dozen specific things fixed, in the right order.
Audit first
Go through the real product, on a real device, doing a real task. Record what you find in these categories — the order is the priority order:
- Structural — unclear primary action, competing focal points, navigation that does not match the mental model. These are the only ones worth a rebuild.
- Systemic — inconsistent spacing, more type sizes than a scale would allow, palette drift, components that exist in variants. High impact, mechanical to fix.
- Craft — weak hierarchy, poor contrast, unfinished states, cramped density.
- Cosmetic — dated shadows, default border radii, stock illustration.
The generic-AI-product tells
These are the specific things that make a product read as unconsidered. They are worth naming because they are all cheap to fix:
- Default framework styling left in place — the untouched button, the starter-template card.
- One accent color used for every emphasis, so nothing is emphasized.
- Uniform spacing everywhere, so nothing groups.
- Centered everything, including body copy.
- Emoji standing in for iconography.
- Gradients on surfaces that carry no meaning.
- Empty and error states that were never designed.
Sequencing
Fix in this order, because each makes the next easier to see:
- Tokens — spacing scale, type scale, palette. This alone resolves most systemic findings.
- Hierarchy on the two or three highest-traffic screens.
- States: empty, loading, error, overflow.
- Component consolidation.
- Cosmetic pass.
Restyle or rebuild
Rebuild only when the structure is wrong — when the information architecture does not match how people work. Everything else is a restyle, and a restyle that ships beats a rebuild that stalls.

Sources
references/sources.md in this skill lists the outside authorities that settle the questions
here — what each one is authoritative for, and what you may do with it. Check them before
answering on anything they cover, and cite what you used. Most are free to read and not free
to reproduce; the use note on each is binding.
Never
- Restyle a screen whose problem is structural. New paint on a broken flow buys nothing.
- Change navigation and visual language in the same release. When something breaks you will not know which one did it.
- Remove a path because it looks unused without checking who uses it and what they do next.
- Ship a redesign with no way back. Keep the old path reachable until the new one is proven.
Return contract
Findings by category with severity, the sequenced plan, what you would do first if only one day were available, and what you deliberately are not touching.

Can I use Interface Redesign in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add cbrock84/headcount --skill interface-redesign -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/interface-redesign, .gemini/skills/interface-redesign, .github/skills/interface-redesign and .opencode/skills/interface-redesign in your project.
What does Interface Redesign need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Interface Redesign is instructions for the agent only.
Does Interface Redesign access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Interface Redesign safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Interface Redesign use?
Interface Redesign is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
How many tokens does Interface Redesign use?
About 805 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3.2k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 549 tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
