What it does

Dev Design Context is an agent skill from hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins. Establish or update persistent product and visual design guidance in .design-context.md. Use for initial design setup, a deliberate design-direction reset, or explicit 设计上下文 requests. Discover existing users, components, tokens, assets, and constraints before asking about material gaps. Does not implement UI; ordinary UI work does not require repeating this setup.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/dev-baseline.md`).

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering UI design. The repository describes itself as: A curated list of awesome OpenAI Codex / ChatGPT plugins, skills, and resources. The 1 Codex Marketplace. See live plugins at: https://hol.org/plugins/best-codex-plugins. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Initial design setup
  • A deliberate design-direction reset
  • Explicit 设计上下文 requests

Example prompts

  • “/dev-design-context”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 16b4156. 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 (its code samples are markdown).

    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

Dev Design Context loads about 1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 96 tokens; SKILL.md has 394 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~96
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~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.

description
Establish or update persistent product and visual design guidance in .design-context.md. Use for initial design setup, a deliberate design-direction reset, or explicit 设计上下文 requests. Discover existing users, components, tokens, assets, and constraints before asking about material gaps. Does not implement UI; ordinary UI work does not require repeating this setup.

Dev Design Context

Persist the project-specific design decisions future UI work needs. Read references/dev-baseline.md. This skill writes design guidance, not application code, mockups, or implementation reviews.

Establish what is already known

Read existing .design-context.md, product/brand documentation, representative screens, reusable components, design tokens, and actual assets. Inspect relevant paths rather than cataloging every style declaration. Distinguish deliberate conventions from isolated inconsistencies or legacy accidents.

Capture the audience and their recurring tasks, product context, visual hierarchy, typography, color roles, layout density, component patterns, asset identity, supported devices, and interaction/accessibility constraints where evidenced. Reference source paths so future agents can find authoritative tokens and components rather than duplicating them.

An existing valid design context usually needs no update. An absent .design-context.md does not block implementation when existing instructions, code, or supplied designs already establish the direction.

Resolve material gaps

Ask only what affects the design and cannot be inferred: a conflicting audience, undefined brand constraints, a major direction change, target device needs, or an explicit accessibility requirement. Use focused questions, not a fixed questionnaire or mandatory three-word personality exercise.

Choose reversible details from established conventions and record consequential assumptions. Do not invent a brand direction unsupported by the brief, and do not label accessibility compliance as achieved without evidence. References describe intent; copying arbitrary reference styling is not a substitute for understanding the product.

Write the reusable context

Default output is .design-context.md in the project root. If it exists, update its ## Design Context section in place, preserving unrelated content. Follow a user-specified destination or chat-only instruction instead when present.

Include only sections that guide actual decisions:

markdown
## Design Context

### Users and tasks
<Audience, context of use, and recurring workflows>

### Product and brand
<Supported voice, identity, and visual constraints>

### Existing design system
<Authoritative tokens, components, assets, and relevant source paths>

### Design direction
<Hierarchy, density, typography, color roles, imagery, responsive and motion expectations>

### Design principles
<Concrete project-specific rules and the decisions they guide>

### Open assumptions
<Material unresolved assumptions only; omit if none>

Keep guidance concise and evidence-based; avoid universal design advice, invented requirements, task checklists, or duplicate token tables that will drift. Update another assistant configuration such as .github/copilot-instructions.md only when that destination is requested; do not add an unsolicited synchronization question.

Re-read the result to check consistency with the sources and the user's direction. Report the path and the principles that materially guide future work, plus remaining uncertainty. Do not claim UI parity, responsiveness, or accessibility from a documentation edit alone.

Multi-Agent Profile

Recommended agent_type: explorer

When delegation is available and authorized, a bounded explorer can inspect components, tokens, assets, and representative screens and return facts with source paths. One agent owns user questions and the final context file. In the source repository, docs/multi-agent-policy.md is optional guidance, not a required standalone resource.
