What it does

Ordinus UI System is an agent skill from muratgur/ordinus. Build Ordinus renderer UI in the intended product style. Use when changing React UI, layout, Tailwind styling, shadcn-style components, status panels, navigation, empty states, forms, tables, task views, or user-facing product text.

Its SKILL.md is about 880 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Design systems and CSS and styling. It works with shadcn/ui, Tailwind CSS and React. The repository describes itself as: Your local-first command center for working with AI agents like a real team. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Changing React UI
  • Tailwind styling
  • Shadcn-style components
  • User-facing product text

Example prompts

  • “/ordinus-ui-system”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read DESIGN.md and identify the workflow the UI supports.
  2. Choose the smallest design-system component vocabulary that fits that workflow.
  3. Put the primary state and next action above secondary details.
  4. Use existing components before creating new primitives.
  5. Keep labels concise and user-centered.
  6. Check mobile/narrow and desktop layouts for overflow.
  7. Run typecheck, lint, and build.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c27f289. 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

Ordinus UI System loads about 881 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 431 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~63
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~881

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.

Ordinus UI System

Objective

Make Ordinus feel like a calm, practical command center for AI-assisted work.

Design System Source

Read DESIGN.md before changing renderer UI, layout, Tailwind styling, shadcn-style components, status surfaces, empty states, forms, task views, provider views, or user-facing product copy.

Treat DESIGN.md as the canonical source for visual tokens, component vocabulary, status language, density, and copy guidance. If it conflicts with AGENTS.md, the secure Electron boundary and product principles in AGENTS.md win.

Product Feel

  • Work-focused, not marketing-focused.
  • Clear status over decorative flourish.
  • Dense enough for repeated use, but not crowded.
  • User-facing text should describe product state and next actions, not internal implementation.
  • Avoid turning the app into a generic chat page.
  • Distinctive but calm. Ordinus should feel intentionally designed without becoming loud or theatrical.

Avoid Generic AI UI

  • Do not default to generic assistant layouts, oversized prompt boxes, purple gradients, vague glowing panels, or decorative AI-themed backgrounds.
  • Choose a clear product direction before styling: desktop command center, operational workspace, project cockpit, or agent control surface.
  • Let the product context drive visual choices. Agent status, work progress, outputs, and attention states matter more than visual novelty.
  • Use typography, spacing, color, and motion deliberately. The interface should feel polished because details are consistent, not because effects are abundant.
  • Prefer subtle useful motion for state transitions, loading, reveal, and feedback. Avoid animations that distract from work.
  • Make empty states, status labels, and action hierarchy feel designed, not placeholder-like.

UI Rules

  • Align colors, typography, spacing, radius, status labels, and component naming with DESIGN.md.
  • Use shadcn-style components and local reusable primitives.
  • Prefer restrained cards for individual panels, not nested card-heavy layouts.
  • Use lucide icons for recognizable actions.
  • Keep typography readable and proportional to the UI surface.
  • Avoid decorative gradients, orbs, bokeh, and oversized hero sections.
  • Make status visible: planned, running, blocked, completed, needs attention.
  • Avoid one-note palettes. Use a restrained base with purposeful accent colors for state and hierarchy.
  • Match component density to the workflow: dashboards and work boards should be scan-friendly, not spacious landing pages.

Workflow

  1. Read DESIGN.md and identify the workflow the UI supports.
  2. Choose the smallest design-system component vocabulary that fits that workflow.
  3. Put the primary state and next action above secondary details.
  4. Use existing components before creating new primitives.
  5. Keep labels concise and user-centered.
  6. Check mobile/narrow and desktop layouts for overflow.
  7. Run typecheck, lint, and build.

Copy Guidelines

  • Say what the user can understand now.
  • Avoid references to browser/session/localStorage/Electron internals unless the screen is explicitly diagnostic.
  • Prefer "Workspace ready" over "IPC bridge initialized".
  • Prefer "No work items yet" over "No database rows".
