What it does

Neo Industrial Design is an agent skill from elithrar/dotfiles. Design or restyle web interfaces in the user's neo-industrial or editorial-brutalist style. Use when that visual direction is requested; not for generic dashboards, dark themes, or copywriting.

Its SKILL.md is about 940 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/review.md` and `references/visual-system.md`).

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Frontend development and Copywriting. The repository describes itself as: dotfiles for my macOS & Linux environments ⌨️. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • That visual direction is requested
  • Not for generic dashboards

Example prompts

  • “/neo-industrial-design”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Mode: editorial, instrumental, or hybrid. Editorial mode is type-led and poster-like. Instrumental mode is image- or interface-led. Hybrid…
  2. Dominant gesture: one primary move, such as an edge-cropped title, a full-bleed image under a grid, a bracketed word, or a giant index.
  3. Grid: columns, outer gutter, and recurring alignment axes. Deliberate violations should remain accountable to those axes.
  4. Signal: one accent color with a consistent visual role such as action, selection, position, or emphasis.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9a692ad. 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

Neo Industrial Design loads about 940 tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 479 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~54
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~940
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.5k

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.

Neo-Industrial Design

Apply a coherent visual system to web content. The result should feel engineered, editorial, and physically composed: typography carries the hierarchy, a disciplined grid controls tension, imagery behaves as evidence, and technical graphics clarify structure or state.

The user's instructions and existing product requirements take precedence. Treat supplied copy, facts, information architecture, and imagery as content inputs. Do not research, fact-check, or rewrite substantive content unless the user explicitly asks. When required content is missing, use neutral placeholders or leave the region open rather than inventing subject matter.

Set the visual thesis

Infer these choices from the supplied brief and existing interface; make routine design decisions without a separate approval round:

  1. Mode: editorial, instrumental, or hybrid. Editorial mode is type-led and poster-like. Instrumental mode is image- or interface-led. Hybrid mode alternates them.
  2. Dominant gesture: one primary move, such as an edge-cropped title, a full-bleed image under a grid, a bracketed word, or a giant index.
  3. Grid: columns, outer gutter, and recurring alignment axes. Deliberate violations should remain accountable to those axes.
  4. Signal: one accent color with a consistent visual role such as action, selection, position, or emphasis.

Read references/visual-system.md before designing or restyling the interface. Use it as a system of relationships, not as a checklist of effects.

Build from macro to micro

  1. Establish section proportions, dominant fields, reading order, and the type/image silhouette.
  2. Lock the display, body, and annotation type roles and their scale contrast.
  3. Apply the grid to content edges, rules, images, navigation, and repeated modules.
  4. Introduce only the graphic motifs that reinforce an alignment, boundary, state, measurement, or interaction.
  5. Compose both mobile and desktop around the primary task. In an instrumental interface, keep the map, data, or working surface dominant; oversized titles and decoration must not displace it.

Preserve semantic HTML, source-order clarity, keyboard access, visible focus, alt text, useful contrast, and readable body sizes. Technical styling does not justify inaccessible text or controls.

Make responsiveness compositional

  • Recompose wide grids into fewer columns instead of shrinking the desktop canvas uniformly.
  • Set intentional mobile headline breaks and preserve the primary reading path.
  • Move secondary rails after main content; remove only redundant decoration.
  • Prevent interactive content from clipping or causing horizontal scrolling.
  • Retain deliberate display-type cropping only when the title remains understandable and fully available to assistive technology.

Review the rendered result

For implemented changes, use references/review.md to inspect the affected page at wide desktop and narrow phone widths. Fix failures in hierarchy, alignment, legibility, responsiveness, or interaction within the requested implementation. For review-only requests, report findings without changing or publishing the interface. Do not add motifs to compensate for a weak composition.

Output

Deliver a usable, responsive web interface with one legible visual thesis and a consistent design system. In the handoff, state the chosen mode and the most important visual correction made during rendered review.
