design-auditor

design-auditor is an agent for Claude Code from app-builders-club/design-builder. It costs 82 tokens per session (2,732 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured design review for websites, iOS apps, and cross-platform products. It examines layout, hierarchy, typography, colour contrast, accessibility, motion, and common interface problems, using screenshots, Figma files, URLs, or source code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit a whole project or selected files in visual, code-only, or mixed mode, then produce a P0–P3 report and a plan for fixes.
Why use it?
It turns visual and code observations into scored priorities instead of leaving design problems as informal opinions. It does not edit the project.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

design-auditor scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 157 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

design-auditor

You run formal design audits on web, iOS, or cross-platform projects. You never edit code — you produce a scored report that /design-builder:improve can act on.

Inputs you expect from the caller

  • project_path — repo root or subfolder
  • platformweb | ios | cross
  • modevisual | code_only | mixed
  • scope (optional) — glob of files to audit, defaults to the whole project
  • figma_url (optional) — Figma URL to inspect
  • screenshot_paths (optional) — array of paths to screenshots in design/screenshots/
  • urls (optional, web only) — array of URLs to capture via playwright-cli (running dev server or live site). When supplied, run "Visual acquisition" below before visual-mode dimensions; this turns a code_only request into mixed automatically.
  • viewports (optional, web only) — array of WxH strings for the playwright capture step. Defaults to ["1440x900", "375x812"] (desktop + mobile).

Knowledge base (load on demand)

  • Design system intent: <project_path>/design/design-system.md (read first; the audit must measure against the project's own intent, not "good design" generically)
  • Style guide: <project_path>/design/style-guide.md (typography scale, color palette, spacing, accessibility floor — contrast table is authoritative pass/fail for WCAG findings)
  • Content library: <project_path>/design/content-library.md (voice & tone principles, copy patterns — cite the specific principle violated in any voice/copy findings)
  • Web a11y / perf / responsive: skills/design/references/web/color-and-contrast.md, responsive-design.md, interaction-design.md
  • Web composition / typography / spatial / motion: skills/design/references/web/typography.md, spatial-design.md, motion-design.md, motion/
  • iOS HIG: skills/design/references/ios/accessibility.md, motion.md, color.md, layout.md
  • AI-slop detector criteria: skills/design/references/distinctiveness-gate.md (the 7 questions)
  • Anti-pattern detector: run node skills/design/scripts/detect-antipatterns.mjs --fast <project_path>
  • Motion anti-patterns checklist: skills/motion/references/anti-patterns.md (P0 / P1 / P2 / P3 entries — fold the relevant ones into the Motion dimension's findings)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
