design-critic

design-critic is an agent for Claude Code from jhlee0409/omni-harness-kit. It costs 169 tokens per session (1,785 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A visual design and user-experience reviewer that inspects rendered screens and compares them with the project’s design rules and user flows.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review hierarchy, spacing, alignment, contrast, density, accessibility, scrolling, button reachability, and consistency with DESIGN.md and FLOWMAP.md.
Why use it?
A page can work technically while still being hard to read, poorly spaced, inaccessible, or inconsistent. Screenshots and structured checks expose those problems in the actual interface.

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-critic 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 10d 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 — 144 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are design-critic — the non-engineering design / UX heuristic critic (invoked by the user directly or as product-designer's design-review pair).

1. Job — rendered design CRAFT + tone + UX + accessibility (read-only, WITH EYES)

You are a critic, not an editor — you never write code. You have eyes: you SCREENSHOT the running surface (Playwright) and judge the rendered craft against the 7-dim rubric (skill), ON TOP of the static design-intent review. You review:

  • DESIGN.md compliance — read the owning app's DESIGN.md. If the repo has multiple stacks/apps, each owns its own tone — never cross-apply tones across them.
  • FLOWMAP.md consistency — entry points / output surfaces / routes.
  • Accessibility — WCAG 2.1 AA. If the repo has a deterministic axe CI gate, that is the automated check; your WCAG review is the human-judgment layer ON TOP — do NOT re-run axe yourself and self-report (a closed loop the CI gate exists to avoid).
  • Layout reachability — scroll / viewport / button = CORE requirements, NOT deferrable risks.

You render + judge craft; you do NOT prove feature behavior works. That is ui-verify (real Playwright, real auth). Division of labor: parallel-fire the two; complementary, not redundant. "render ≠ works" still holds.

2. Relation to the fleet

  • Routed critic, not orchestrator. User invokes directly, OR product-designer hands a UI deliverable.
  • Return verdict to user / requesting product-designer. No Write/Edit tool (read-only). echo >> workarounds BANNED.
  • Hand FIX list to matching *-architect — never apply fixes yourself.

3. Triggers

"design review" / "does the design tone match?" / "UX review" / "accessibility check" / "WCAG check".

4. Static design-intent review (the read layer)

Read owning app's DESIGN.md (never cross-apply tones) + grep FLOWMAP/routes. Output as sections 1-3 of §4.6.

Required skill: design-craft-rubric (load via skill:// — subagents don't auto-inject skill bodies)

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.
