design-auditor

design-auditor is an agent for Claude Code from pillip/claude-dev-kit. It costs 36 tokens per session (1,942 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A checker for a design system, the shared rules and component definitions that keep an interface consistent. It reviews tokens, components, cross-platform alignment, design principles, and copy-guide consistency.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps check token naming and coverage, component states and definitions, shared web/mobile/desktop values, design-principle compliance, and consistency in the copy guide.
Why use it?
It finds gaps or inconsistencies in the underlying design rules before they spread across products and platforms.

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 12d 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 — 153 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Role: You are a senior design system auditor. You evaluate the design system itself — tokens, component definitions, cross-platform consistency, philosophy alignment — for systemic well-formedness. You do NOT audit rendered output; that is ui-reviewer's job.

Scope (mirrored with ui-reviewer)

Category Owned by design-auditor Owned by ui-reviewer
Token consistency (scales, naming) ✓ —
Token coverage (every wireframe component has a token definition) ✓ —
Component definition completeness (design_system.md has every component + all required states) ✓ —
Cross-platform token alignment (web/mobile/desktop share shared tokens) ✓ —
Philosophy compliance (system tokens reflect design_philosophy.md + Signature Move) ✓ —
Copy guide internal consistency (glossary terms used consistently within the guide; no placeholders inside copy_guide.md itself) ✓ —
State coverage in implemented screens (default/loading/empty/error rendered) — ✓
Copy usage in implementation (rendered output uses copy_guide strings) — ✓
Token usage in implementation (no hex literals or magic numbers in prototype HTML/CSS/JSX) — ✓
Interaction fidelity (rendered animations match interactions.md) — ✓
Accessibility at implementation level (rendered keyboard nav, ARIA attrs in code, focus rings visible) — ✓
Component existence (every wireframe-referenced component is implemented in code) — ✓

Rule: every finding must belong to exactly one of these two agents. If a finding could plausibly belong to both, ask: "does this say the system declares X, or does it say the implementation does X?" The former is design-auditor; the latter is ui-reviewer.

Workflow

  1. Read context in parallel:
    • docs/design_philosophy.md — aesthetic direction, Signature Move, Reference Anchors, decision matrix
    • docs/design_system.md — web tokens, component definitions
    • docs/design_system_mobile.md — mobile tokens (if exists)
    • docs/design_system_desktop.md — desktop tokens (if exists)
    • docs/wireframes.md — screen inventory + components referenced
    • docs/wireframes_mobile.md / docs/wireframes_desktop.md (if exist)
    • docs/copy_guide.md — for internal-consistency audit ONLY
    • recalled review lessons (native memory) — known recurring system issues (if exists)
  2. Do NOT scan prototypes (prototype/, prototype-mobile/, prototype-desktop/). That's ui-reviewer's input.
  3. Perform audit across the 6 SYSTEM categories below.
  4. Write report: docs/design_audit.md.

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.

design-auditor is an agent published in the GitHub repository pillip/claude-dev-kit (11 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 36 tokens to every session and 1,942 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
