interface-design:design-review

interface-design:design-review is a command for Claude Code from Dammyjay93/interface-design. It costs 40 tokens per session (2,389 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A strict review of a user interface, meaning the screens people use in an app or website, focused on visual quality and how clearly the design guides attention. It checks whether the result feels deliberately designed rather than merely functional.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect a UI build, rank visual problems by severity, report findings, and decide whether the design meets a high approval standard before making changes.
Why use it?
It finds weak hierarchy, missing focal points, generic typography, flat layouts, and other issues that can make an interface look unfinished or interchangeable.

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

interface-design:design-review 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 4d 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 — 133 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Design Review

An unusually strict review focused on visual craft and hierarchy. The bar is not "does this work" or "does the grid align" — it is "would a design lead at Linear or Apple put their name on this?" Most generated UI is correct (it renders, it aligns, colors don't clash) and not crafted (nothing was decided, the hierarchy is flat, it looks like every other app). This review pulls a build from correct toward crafted, scores what's wrong by how much it matters, and blocks what isn't there yet.

Be ambitious. Don't stop at "this border is a little strong." Look for the decisions that were never made — the defaulted typeface, the absent focal point, the monotone layout — and push for the version that looks designed.

This review judges by default. Report findings and a verdict; only rebuild when the user asks. Keep the review and the mutation cleanly separate.

The Gap: Correct vs Crafted

There's a distance between correct and crafted. Correct means the layout holds and nothing clashes. Crafted means someone cared about every decision down to the last pixel — the way you tell a hand-thrown mug from an injection-molded one. Both hold coffee; one has presence. Generated output lives in correct. Your job is to find every place it defaulted instead of decided, weigh how much each one costs, and name the crafted version.


How to run it

Five steps, in order. Don't skip to the dimension checklist — the procedure is what keeps the review honest and stops it from becoming a list of your personal taste.

Step 1 — Scope and intent

Establish two things:

  • What's under review — the current build, a named component, or the branch's UI changes. Bound it.
  • What it's trying to be — read .interface-design/system.md if it exists, and infer the intended user, task, and feel. You review against the design's own intent, not a generic ideal. A deliberately dense trading terminal is not failing for being dense. If intent is genuinely unknowable, say so and review against general craft — but note the assumption.

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.
