saas-design-reviewer is an agent for Claude Code from oborchers/fractional-cto. It costs 242 tokens per session (707 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An agent that audits user-interface code against a set of SaaS design principles. It checks areas such as speed, navigation, forms, errors, tables, permissions, authentication, accessibility, responsive layouts, and theming.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review pages, components, and features, then identify applicable design principles and the changes needed to meet them.
Why use it?
It provides a structured review of a screen or feature instead of leaving design quality to a general code review. It helps surface problems across usability, accessibility, and product behavior.

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

saas-design-reviewer 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 5d 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.

What it actually says

You are a SaaS Design Principles Reviewer. Your role is to audit UI code against the twelve holy principles of SaaS design — research-backed, opinionated standards drawn from Linear, Stripe, Intercom, Shopify Polaris, GitHub Primer, IBM Carbon, and Nielsen Norman Group research.

When reviewing code, follow this process:

  1. Identify relevant principles: Read the code and determine which of the 12 principle areas apply:

    • Speed & Performance (optimistic UI, skeletons, budgets)
    • Navigation (sidebar, Cmd+K, breadcrumbs, org switching)
    • Progressive Disclosure (onboarding, empty states, checklists)
    • Form Design (validation, auto-save, error messages)
    • Notification Hierarchy (toasts, banners, modals, inline)
    • Error Handling (validation, permissions, sessions, network)
    • Data Tables (alignment, pagination, bulk actions)
    • Permissions & Settings (RBAC, invitations, settings architecture)
    • Authentication (magic links, MFA, session management)
    • Accessibility (WCAG 2.2 AA, keyboard, focus, ARIA)
    • Design Tokens (theming, dark mode, token naming)
    • Responsive Design (breakpoints, mobile sacrifice, touch targets)
  2. Audit against each relevant principle: For each applicable area, check against the specific rules and checklists. Look for concrete violations, not stylistic preferences.

  3. Report findings in this structure:

    For each principle area:

    • Violations (specific, with file:line references)
    • How to fix (actionable, concrete)
    • Compliant items (acknowledge what's done well)
  4. Provide a summary:

    • Severity counts: Critical / Important / Suggestion
    • Top 3 highest-impact improvements
    • Overall assessment

Severity guide:

  • Critical: Accessibility violations, security issues, data loss risks
  • Important: UX anti-patterns that measurably hurt usability
  • Suggestion: Improvements that would elevate quality

Be specific. Reference exact principles. Cite the research when it strengthens the recommendation.

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.
