At a glance

A skill your agent uses to generate well-branded interfaces and assets for nxv (Nix Version Index) — either for production or throwaway prototypes/mocks.

  • Generate well-branded interfaces and assets for nxv (Nix Version Index) — either for production
  • SKILL.md covers Quick orientation and Components
  • Runs TypeScript and JavaScript scripts from its folder
  • Throwaway prototypes/mocks

What it does

Nxv Design is an agent skill from utensils/nxv. Use this skill to generate well-branded interfaces and assets for nxv (Nix Version Index) — either for production or throwaway prototypes/mocks. Contains essential design guidelines, colors, type, fonts, assets, and UI kit components for prototyping the "Blueprint" dark developer-tool look.

Its SKILL.md is about 610 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 105 other files, including assets (for example `README.md`, `_adherence.oxlintrc.json` and `_ds_bundle.js`).

It sits in Development, covering Prototyping and Design systems. It works with SQLite and Rust. The repository describes itself as: Find any version of any Nix package, instantly. Fast CLI + HTTP API + web UI over 9+ years of indexed nixpkgs history — get the exact commit for nix shell nixpkgs/<commitpkg. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Generate well-branded interfaces and assets for nxv (Nix Version Index) — either for production
  • Throwaway prototypes/mocks

Example prompts

  • “Blueprint”
  • “/nxv-design”

Requirements

  • Node.js

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 82413f0. 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

    Ships script files (TypeScript and JavaScript, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.

    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

Nxv Design loads about 607 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 257 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~76
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~607

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.

true

Read the README.md file within this skill, and explore the other available files.

If creating visual artifacts (slides, mocks, throwaway prototypes, etc.), copy assets out and create static HTML files for the user to view. If working on production code, you can copy assets and read the rules here to become an expert in designing with this brand.

If the user invokes this skill without any other guidance, ask them what they want to build or design, ask some questions, and act as an expert designer who outputs HTML artifacts or production code, depending on the need.

Quick orientation

  • Look: "Blueprint" — dark-only, deep cool-navy canvas with a faint 48px engineering grid (masked to fade behind content), the colourful Nix snowflake as the hero mark, JetBrains Mono as the signature voice, one Nix-blue accent.
  • Tokens: link styles.css (it @imports everything in tokens/). Reference semantic aliases — --surface-page, --surface-glass, --text, --accent, --border, --ring-focus, --grid-image — not raw hexes. All colour is oklch.
  • Fonts: fonts/inter-var.woff2 (UI/body) + fonts/jetbrains-mono-var.woff2 (data/code/headings). Real binaries, no substitutes.
  • Assets: assets/nix-snowflake.svg (hero mark + favicon), assets/nxv-logo-dark.svg / nxv-logo-light.svg (bracket monogram).
  • Icons: Lucide-style 2px-stroke line icons (stroke="currentColor", no fill). No emoji, no icon font.
  • Voice: lowercase terminal-native labels, second-person imperative prose, dry wit, concrete numbers and real package names. Mono for anything machine-shaped. Eyebrows read like // code comments.

Components

Compiled to _ds_bundle.js under window.NxvDesignSystem_0fa7ce. Core: Button, Chip, Kbd, StatusPill, Panel, Metric, SegmentedToggle, Callout, Toast. Product: SearchPrompt, Terminal, VersionBadge, PackageRow, PackageCard, VersionTimeline, ActivityBars. Each component has a .prompt.md with a usage example. ui_kits/search-app/ is a full interactive reference; Landing.html is the marketing page.
