Description
industrial-brutalist-ui is an agent skill in the OpenDesign project for building raw, mechanical web interfaces that combine mid-century Swiss typographic print with military and aerospace terminal aesthetics. It asks for rigid modular grids, extreme contrast in type scale, utilitarian color, and the simulation of analog wear, such as halftones, CRT scanlines and bitmap dithering. The skill describes two visual archetypes, and it says to pick one for a project and not mix them. The first is Swiss industrial print, drawn from 1960s corporate identity systems and heavy machinery manuals: a light, newsprint-like background, heavy sans-serif type, visible dividing lines, asymmetric use of negative space, oversized numerals, and primary red as the alert accent. The second is tactical telemetry and CRT terminal, drawn from military databases and head-up displays: dark mode only, dense tabular data, monospaced type, technical framing such as ASCII brackets and crosshairs, and simulated hardware limits like phosphor glow and scanlines. It is listed on skills.sh, with its security audit results shown there.…

industrial-brutalist-ui FAQ
What does the industrial-brutalist-ui skill do?
It guides an agent in building raw, mechanical interfaces that combine Swiss print typography with terminal and telemetry aesthetics.
How do I install it?
Run: npx skills add https://github.com/nexu-io/open-design --skill industrial-brutalist-ui
Can a project mix the two archetypes?
No. The skill says to pick one archetype per project and not alternate or mix them.
What do the two archetypes look like?
Swiss industrial print uses light newsprint backgrounds and heavy sans-serif type. The terminal archetype is dark mode only with monospaced type and scanline effects.
What security checks has it passed?
skills.sh lists three audits: Gen Agent Trust Hub Pass, Socket Pass and Snyk Pass.
