At a glance

Produces one self-contained HTML and Tailwind mockup for UI inspiration, with detailed rules on fonts, icons, dark versus light mode and chart handling.

  • Exploring a UI concept as a single HTML mockup before building it
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Getting a quick visual direction for a dashboard or landing page
  • Turning a rough design reference into a styled HTML page

What it does

The rules ask for a single HTML code block using Tailwind classes inline on body tags rather than a Tailwind config, with any custom CSS placed in style attributes and full html, head and body tags present. Icons come from Lucide at 1.5 stroke width, charts use Chart.js with a note about a canvas-nesting bug to avoid, and font weights are set one level thinner than the named weight, for example Semibold instead of Bold.

Unless the user specifies a style, the output should follow a design sensibility associated with well-known product sites, without naming them, and favor dark mode for technical or futuristic subjects and light mode for professional or traditional ones. Interactive elements like checkboxes and toggles should be custom-styled rather than default browser controls, animations should use Tailwind transitions rather than JavaScript, and a floating download button in the bottom right should be avoided. If a design, code or image is supplied, the original style should be respected as closely as possible.

When your agent uses it

  • Exploring a UI concept as a single HTML mockup before building it
  • Getting a quick visual direction for a dashboard or landing page
  • Turning a rough design reference into a styled HTML page

Example prompts

  • “Design a dashboard UI for a fitness tracking app, dark mode, with charts.”
  • “Make a pricing page mockup in the style I described, with custom toggles.”
  • “Build a single HTML page exploring a settings screen with light mode.”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 150736f. 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

Single-File UI Design Exploration loads about 493 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 22 tokens; SKILL.md has 291 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~22
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~493

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 291 words (~493 tokens).

“Only code in HTML/Tailwind in a single code block. Any CSS styles should be in the style attribute. Start with a response, then code and finish with a response. Don't mention about tokens, Tailwind or HTML. Always include the html…”
