What it does

Frontend Design Pro is an agent skill from QinghongLin/data2story-skill. Shared UI/visual-design rule library for building polished, distinctive, multimedia-rich self-contained HTML stories. The Data2Story Designer and Programmer read it to choose a visual language (theme, type pairing, layout, components, motion) and implement it so every blog looks intentional and editorial, never templated. Use when designing or reshaping a story's look, picking fonts/colors/themes, building a hero/chart/card/map/audio component, adding motion or an interactive, or fixing a visual defect (invisible…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 17 other files, including reference files (for example `references/abstract_excellence.json`, `references/components.json` and `references/design_tokens.json`).

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering UI design and Typography. The repository describes itself as: Data Journalist Agent: Transforming Data into Verifiable Multimodal Story. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Reshaping a storys look
  • Picking fonts/colors/themes

  • Fixing a visual defect (invisible chart

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 63a55c1. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read

    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

Frontend Design Pro loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~90k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 162 tokens; SKILL.md has 532 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~162
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~90k

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.

Frontend Design

A shared design system for building beautiful, distinctive, multimedia-rich HTML stories. This is not a pipeline stage; it is a library the Designer reads to choose a visual language and the Programmer reads to implement it, so output looks like an editorial product, not a default template.

When to use

  • Designer: before writing page_rhythm and per-section visuals, pick a theme and component vocabulary from here. Borrow tokens, layout, and component recipes; record the chosen theme in designer.json page_rhythm.
  • Programmer: implement the chosen theme's tokens as CSS :root variables and build each visual with the matching component recipe and motion/accessibility rules here.

Core principles

  1. Editorial, not generic. Avoid the default-AI look (bootstrap blue, purple gradient hero, everything centered, one system font, evenly-spaced soulless cards). Commit to one bold idea per story. See references/themes.json → anti_patterns.
  2. Rich media by default. A story should use multiple channels well — charts, images, video, audio, interactives/maps — each presented with craft, not dumped in. See references/media_presentation.json.
  3. One system, themed per story. All color/type/space/shadow flow from CSS :root tokens so the whole page is coherent and re-themeable. See references/design_tokens.json for tokens and references/typography.json for concrete file://-safe font-pairing stacks.
  4. Structure carries the reading. A clear content column, deliberate full-bleed moments, and consistent section rhythm. See references/layout.json.
  5. Motion and access are part of the design. Subtle scroll reveals and transitions, always respecting prefers-reduced-motion, AA contrast, focus states, and "never autoplay sound." See references/motion.json for motion tokens, choreography, accessibility, and the anti-slop checklist.
  6. Self-contained. Single HTML file; allowed CDNs only (Vega-Embed, Leaflet, optionally D3/PDF.js); inline data; works on file://.

References

  • references/design_tokens.json — color roles, data-color scales, fluid type scale, spacing/radius/shadow, themed via :root.
  • references/layout.json — content column, full-bleed breakout, section rhythm, responsive grid, sticky patterns.
  • references/components.json — recipes: hero/teaser, stat callouts, card deck, pull quote, chart/map frames, audio players, scrollytelling, before/after, guess-reveal, data table, references footer.
  • references/media_presentation.json — how to present each channel (image, video, audio, chart, map, instance) richly, and the "all five channels by default" doctrine.
  • references/themes.json — ready-made distinctive themes (token presets) and the anti-patterns to avoid.
  • references/interaction_playbook.json — the deep interaction/craft playbook: craft principles, centerpiece doctrine, the universal engine (state + render + steps[]), and recipes for explorables/scrollytelling/guess-reveal.
  • references/pitfalls.json — the 错题本 (mistakes-never-to-repeat ledger): real bugs from shipped runs, each with how a role detects it. Read before building.
  • references/exemplars/cinematic_flagship.md — a proven cinematic-blog blueprint with copy-paste recipes (pick-a-side hero, accuracy scorecard, cinemagraph hero, continuous backdrop, publish-gate manifest).
  • references/abstract_excellence.json — the positive flagship playbook for the dry / abstract / computational topic (chart-led / statistical / non-photographic): reframe hook, signature annotated chart, the reader's own position, disciplined typography, and the runnable-verify layer. Read whenever the topic resolves is_visual=false (especially is_computational=true) — the analogue of the cinematic recipes for stories with no photographable subject.
  • references/typography.json — font-pairing catalog, file://-safe font stacks, and the ban list of generic/default type choices.
  • references/finish.json — the editorial finish layer: the small polish details that lift a page from competent to crafted.
  • references/motion.json — motion tokens, choreography, micro-interactions, accessibility, reduced-motion, performance, and the anti-slop checklist.
  • references/quality_rubric.json — the shared design-quality rubric authors are scored against.

A story is well-designed when it commits to one clear visual identity, uses several media channels with craft, reads cleanly on mobile and desktop, and could not be mistaken for a default template.
