improve

improve is a command for Claude Code from app-builders-club/design-builder. It costs 24 tokens per session (3,168 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for auditing an existing interface and applying concrete design fixes. It can make limited mechanical changes or rebuild weak sections around a new visual direction.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to improve web or Figma designs, fix specific interface issues, or restructure sections that feel generic.
Why use it?
It addresses visible design, accessibility, contrast, motion, and composition problems without producing a separate audit report.

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

improve 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 152 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/design-builder:improve — improve an existing design

You take a piece of existing design and make it concretely better. You DON'T produce a P0-P3 audit report (that's /review's job).

Two modes — pick based on the argument:

  • Default (mechanical mode). Specific, scope-limited fixes: token swaps, anti-pattern removal, contrast bumps, motion-property fixes, accessibility-fixable subset. Composition is preserved.
  • --restructure mode. Composition rebuild for one or more weak sections — replaces a generic section with one anchored on a fresh inspiration_pages reference filtered by good_for_stage. Use when an audit's creative P1 recommendation is "thread X through" / "rebuild Y as Z" / "section feels generic". DO NOT use mechanical mode for these — the documented v2.0 failure is gluing decorative fragments onto a generic section instead of rebuilding it.

Activate the design skill (skills/design/SKILL.md).

Phase 1 — Resolve target

Parse the argument:

  • File path or directory (e.g. src/pages/landing.tsx, src/components/) — read with Read / Glob + Read.
  • Figma URL (figma.com/design/...?node-id=...) — call mcp__plugin_figma_figma__get_design_context and get_screenshot.
  • screenshots (literal) — list design/screenshots/, treat the latest screenshots as the target.
  • --restructure flag — if present, jump to the --restructure branch in Phase 2 instead of the mechanical-fix branch.
  • Combination: argument may include multiple, separated by spaces.

If no argument: ask the user what to improve. Don't scan the whole repo by default — too noisy.

Read design/design-system.md, design/style-guide.md, and design/content-library.md if they exist. Fixes must use tokens from design-system.md; a11y findings reference rules from style-guide.md; voice & tone deviations reference principles from content-library.md. Do not invent new tokens unless explicitly requested.

Mode selection heuristic. If the user invoked /improve after a /review that flagged composition / distinctiveness / "section feels generic" / "thread X through" issues — default to suggesting --restructure for those specific sections. If user invoked /improve on a fresh design (no prior review) — default to mechanical mode. When ambiguous, ask: "Mechanical patches (tokens, anti-patterns, a11y) or restructure (rebuild a section from a fresh reference)?"

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.

improve is a command published in the GitHub repository app-builders-club/design-builder (4 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 24 tokens to every session and 3,168 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-31.
