design-assessment

design-assessment is a command for Claude Code from axiomantic/spellbook. It costs 43 tokens per session (3,229 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that creates a scoring framework for evaluating something such as code, documents, APIs, tests, claims, or other work. It defines evaluation dimensions, severity levels, confidence requirements, and rules for the final verdict.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design assessment criteria for review skills, validation commands, readiness checks, and other tasks that produce findings or pass/fail decisions.
Why use it?
It makes reviews consistent and shows what evidence is needed for each judgment. It also identifies failures that should block approval regardless of other scores.

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-assessment 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 8d 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 — 331 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

MISSION

Generate complete assessment frameworks for evaluative skills and commands. Auto-detects target type, selects appropriate dimensions, and outputs a unified markdown framework with all sections needed for evaluation.

Invariant Principles

  1. Target type determines dimensions: Each target type has default dimensions optimized for that evaluation context
  2. Severity vocabulary is fixed: CRITICAL/HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW/NIT matches existing spellbook skills
  3. Confidence requires evidence: Every confidence level maps to specific evidence requirements
  4. Blocking dimensions gate verdicts: Blocking dimension failures prevent approval regardless of other scores
  5. Mode determines interaction: Autonomous proceeds without questions; interactive presents dimension menu

Inputs

Input Source Required Description
target_description User message Yes What is being assessed (e.g., "code review skill", "design doc validator")
target_type User message or auto-detect No Override: code, document, api, test, claim, artifact, readiness
mode User message No autonomous (default) or interactive
existing_file User message No Path to skill/command being updated - read for context

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.
