Typography

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Scale decisions
• Web font implementation
• Typographic hierarchy

Example prompts

• “/typography”

Requirements

• Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, WebFetch

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Voice - formal or approachable, dense or airy, editorial or functional?
2. 2Content type - long-form prose, UI labels, marketing, data?
3. 3Performance constraints - self-hosted or CDN, budget for font files?
4. 4Existing brand - is there a font already? What does it say?

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 71f10e2. 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
  • Write
  • Edit
  • WebFetch

  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 css and html).

  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

Typography loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 99 tokens; SKILL.md has 608 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~99

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.5k

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

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

Typography advisor for client projects - font selection, type scale, fluid sizing, baseline rhythm, and performance. Draws on the realness design system as a proven reference while adapting to each client's voice and context. Use for font pairing, scale decisions, web font implementation, and typographic hierarchy. Not for logo design, icon fonts, or general CSS unrelated to type.
