What it does
Gpui Kit Design Guides is an agent skill from StudentWeis/ropy. The normative Design Guides for GPUI Kit desktop applications. Read in full before designing or changing any screen, layout, spacing, visual hierarchy, color, density, component choice, interaction state, overlay, motion, data-heavy view, or interface copy in a GPUI Kit (gpui-kit / gpui-component) application, and before reviewing UI work for design quality. Also use when asked what the design rules are, or whether a UI decision follows them.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/design-guides.md`).
It sits in Media & Creative, covering Design review and critique. The repository describes itself as: Cross-platform, lightweight clipboard manager written in Rust and GPUI. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Asked what the design rules are
- Whether a UI decision follows them
Example prompts
- “/gpui-kit-design-guides”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 13fa639. 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
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
gpui-kit.com
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
Gpui Kit Design Guides loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~14k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 117 tokens; SKILL.md has 396 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

- gpui-kit-design-guides
- description
- The normative Design Guides for GPUI Kit desktop applications. Read in full before designing or changing any screen, layout, spacing, visual hierarchy, color, density, component choice, interaction state, overlay, motion, data-heavy view, or interface copy in a GPUI Kit (gpui-kit / gpui-component) application, and before reviewing UI work for design quality. Also use when asked what the design rules are, or whether a UI decision follows them.
GPUI Kit Design Guides
The guide is references/design-guides.md. It is a requirement, not inspiration. Read the guide file itself before doing UI work. Do not answer from this page, from an existing screen in the codebase, or from training data.
If the file is missing, fetch https://gpui-kit.com/docs/design-guides.md.
The guide is a verbatim copy of that page, so its link to ./coding-guides.md
means the Coding Guides in the gpui-kit skill (or https://gpui-kit.com/docs/coding-guides.md).
How to read it
Read the whole guide for a new screen or a redesign. For a narrow change, read
"Design thesis" and "Start from the task" first, then the section for the
change. Sections, in order (grep -n '^## ' references/design-guides.md):
| Section | Read when |
|---|---|
| Design thesis | Always |
| Learning from Shadcn | Choosing what to borrow from web component libraries |
| Start from the task | Always; task hierarchy, interaction promise, what to leave out |
| Visual language | Color, typography, spacing, radius, borders, elevation, density, icons |
| Layout patterns | Window structure, sidebars, toolbars, panels, forms, resizable regions |
| Components and composition | Picking a component, composing parts, when to build a new one |
| Interaction states | Hover, focus, pressed, selected, disabled, loading, validation, danger |
| Feedback and overlays | Dialog, sheet, popover, menu, notification, tooltip, dismissal, focus |
| Motion | Any animation or transition |
| Designing data-heavy interfaces | Tables, lists, trees, dashboards, dense inspectors |
| Interface language | Any user-facing text: labels, buttons, titles, errors, empty states |
| Internationalization and platform fit | Multi-locale copy, Chinese terminology, macOS/Windows conventions |
| Guidance for AI-generated interfaces | Always when an agent produces UI |
| Accessibility checklist | Before finishing |
| Design review checklist | Before finishing; run every item against the work |

Non-negotiables
A floor, not a substitute for the guide.
- Desktop before web convention. Keyboard access, window chrome, menus, dense data views, resizable regions, persistent navigation.
ButtonvsLink.Buttonfor every in-app command,ghostoroutlinewhen it should read quietly.Linkonly for external URLs and email addresses.- Tokens before values. No raw hex or
rgb(...); usecx.theme()semantic tokens and rem-based helpers. Any spacing number quoted in the guide is the current default scale, not a literal to repeat. - State must be visible. Hover, focus, selection, disabled, loading, validation, and destructive states each need distinct, consistent treatment.
- Overlays. Escape dismisses the topmost surface and returns focus to its trigger.
- Copy. Name the object and the verb:
Delete "Roadmap"?with aDeletebutton, notAre you sure?withOK.
Finish by running the Design review checklist against the work.
