What it does

User Interface is an agent skill from scott-fryxell/brayness. Designs or reviews user interfaces that are self-evident, low-friction, and easy to understand with minimal explanation. Use when simplifying UI text, removing helper copy, improving affordances, tightening hierarchy, making forms more obvious, or evaluating whether an interface works without instructions.

Its SKILL.md is about 710 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Frontend & Design. The repository describes itself as: A harness for the anxious digital mind. A safe place for creatives to keep their creative soul while exploring digital skills. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

Simplifying UI text
Removing helper copy
Improving affordances
Tightening hierarchy

Example prompts

“Use the user-interface skill to design or reviews user interfaces that are self-evident, low-friction, and easy to understand with minimal explanation”
“/user-interface”

Workflow steps

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

Structure over text. Layout, grouping, and affordances make meaning;
Defaults and constraints over instructions. Preselect the common
Feedback lives at the point of interaction. No top-of-page error
Show, don't tell. Real previews, inline examples, visible state
Hierarchy over whitespace. Strong grouping, one obvious primary

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 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

User Interface loads about 705 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 81 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: ~81
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~705

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.

UX Interface Design

If the UI needs instructions, fix the UI - not the copy. Structure, hierarchy, constraints, and interaction carry meaning; text confirms it.

Not for: marketing copy, pure visual styling critiques, long-form docs, or interfaces where detailed explanation is the product.

Rules

Structure over text. Layout, grouping, and affordances make meaning; labels and helper copy are a last resort. Before adding text: better layout, more specific controls, better defaults. Never repeat what context shows ("Submit Form" -> "Submit"); never narrate ("Click below to continue").
Defaults and constraints over instructions. Preselect the common option; start in the most useful state. Prevent invalid input with constraints and live validation instead of explaining rules up front.
Feedback lives at the point of interaction. No top-of-page error summaries, no disconnected instructions. Explain only when an error occurs or the system genuinely needs input.
Show, don't tell. Real previews, inline examples, visible state changes - not instructional paragraphs. If explanation is unavoidable, one short sentence; needing more means redesign.
Hierarchy over whitespace. Strong grouping, one obvious primary action, visible priority. Dense is fine if it stays scannable. Don't name every section - that's the AI verbosity bias.

Review

Remove the descriptive text - does the interface still work?
Is there exactly one obvious next action?
Fix layout, grouping, defaults, constraints before adding copy.
Are errors prevented rather than explained?
Delete anything that does not directly enable action - helper text under every input, onboarding tooltips for simple flows, pages that explain before allowing interaction.

Integration

useless: the right element is its own affordance - <details> discloses, <dialog> is modal; boolean attributes (open, disabled) are state CSS reads without JS.
motion-systems: what changes is decided here; how it moves is decided there.

Questions about User Interface

What does User Interface do?

Designs or reviews user interfaces that are self-evident, low-friction, and easy to understand with minimal explanation. User Interface is an agent skill from scott-fryxell/brayness. Designs or reviews user interfaces that are self-evident, low-friction, and easy to understand with minimal explanation.

When should I use User Interface?

User Interface fits situations like: simplifying UI text; removing helper copy; improving affordances; tightening hierarchy.

How do I install User Interface in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add scott-fryxell/brayness --skill user-interface -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/user-interface in scott-fryxell/brayness) into .claude/skills/user-interface in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

How do I install User Interface in Codex?

Run `npx skills add scott-fryxell/brayness --skill user-interface -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/user-interface in scott-fryxell/brayness) into .agents/skills/user-interface in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use User Interface in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add scott-fryxell/brayness --skill user-interface -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/user-interface, .gemini/skills/user-interface, .github/skills/user-interface and .opencode/skills/user-interface in your project.

What does User Interface need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: User Interface is instructions for the agent only.

Does User Interface access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is User Interface safe to install?

Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.

What licence does User Interface use?

User Interface is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does User Interface use?

About 705 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.8k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.

What are the alternatives to User Interface?

Skills that share tags, products or a category with User Interface: Web Artifacts Builder (anthropics/skills, 180k stars), React Doctor (makeplane/plane, 61k stars), Impeccable (bestofjs/bestofjs, 3.1k stars) and Figma Design System Builder (warpdotdev/warp, 65k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
