What it does

Aster Atelier is an agent skill from nexu-io/open-design. Use this template when the user wants an artistic creative-studio website with classical imagery, cobalt skies, elegant serif typography and cinematic scrolling.

Its SKILL.md is about 910 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files (for example `ASSET-SOURCES.md`, `README.md` and `open-design.json`).

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Typography. The repository describes itself as: 🎨 Best DeepSeek Harness Design Plugin. The open-source Claude Design alternative. 🖥️ Local-first desktop app. 🖼️ Your coding agent becomes the design engine: prototypes… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Wants an artistic creative-studio website with classical imagery
  • Elegant serif typography and cinematic scrolling

Example prompts

  • “/aster-atelier”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read the seed and the user's brand/context; keep sensible defaults for missing optional details.
  2. Edit copy, semantic content and brand without flattening the layout.
  3. Keep it self-contained. Do not introduce external scripts, paid images or fonts.
  4. Render the page; check hero, all chapter links, menus, modal focus, forms and mobile overflow.
  5. Read references/checklist.md and pass its P0 gates before delivery.
  6. Deliver the runnable artifact according to the host execution profile: write canonical files when filesystem tools are available, or emit…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 17e2559. 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

Aster Atelier loads about 908 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 371 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~44
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~908
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.1k

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.

Aster Atelier

Start from example.html. It is the full runnable source, with embedded original artwork, styles and JavaScript. Keep its visual composition and functional interactions while adapting the brand and copy to the user's brief. Do not substitute a screenshot or use an unrelated website as source.

Visual system

  • Palette: cobalt #0758bc, deep night #083d86, ivory #fffaf0, parchment #fff6e3, bronze #f5cf7c.
  • System serif typography: Georgia / Times New Roman; system sans and monospace for body and coordinates. No fonts are distributed.
  • Editorial composition: generous side margins, large serif headings, small uppercase coordinates, fine rules and open space.
  • Five chapters: astronomer hero, point-cloud instrument / approach, observatory artwork and services, questions / contact, oversized wordmark footer.
  • The two original illustrations are embedded WebP data URIs. Reuse them directly, preserving aspect and focus; do not fetch the previous inspiration site's resources.
  • The armillary instrument is original Canvas 2D point-cloud code with three-dimensional rotation, drawn procedurally. Preserve its animation visibility gating and DPR cap.

Interaction contract

  • Hero CTA scrolls to approach. Navigation has functioning chapter anchors.
  • Navigation and contact use native dialog, with close buttons, Escape handling and focus return.
  • Services and FAQ use native details / summary.
  • Form inputs have visible labels, HTML validation and local-only save feedback. No fake submission or external endpoint. The user can download a text brief.
  • Honor reduced motion. Stop the canvas loop while offscreen or in a hidden tab.
  • Preserve mobile layout at 390px, legible headings, usable controls and no horizontal overflow.

Workflow

  2. Edit copy, semantic content and brand without flattening the layout.
  3. Keep it self-contained. Do not introduce external scripts, paid images or fonts.
  4. Render the page; check hero, all chapter links, menus, modal focus, forms and mobile overflow.
  5. Read references/checklist.md and pass its P0 gates before delivery.
  6. Deliver the runnable artifact according to the host execution profile: write canonical files when filesystem tools are available, or emit one complete artifact when the host requires text artifacts. Describe backend behavior honestly. Never fabricate project metrics, awards or client endorsements.

ASSET-SOURCES.md records the original generated art and code provenance. The demo brand does not represent a real client or imply endorsement.
