validate-design

validate-design is a command for Claude Code from growilabs/growi-mcp-server. It costs 7 tokens per session (371 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of validate-design, MIT.

A command that reviews a feature’s technical design against its requirements and project rules. It uses an interactive review and returns a pass or revision decision.

In plain words
What is it for?
It validates the design document for a named feature by comparing it with the requirements, project guidance, and review rules. It then guides the user either to task generation or to revise and review the design again.
Why use it?
It helps find important design problems before coding starts. This reduces the chance of generating implementation tasks from an incomplete or unsuitable design.

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

validate-design 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 6d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

86% identical to validate-design — 16 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

Technical Design Validation

Parse Arguments

  • Feature name: $1

Validate

Check that design has been completed:

  • Verify .kiro/specs/$1/ exists
  • Verify .kiro/specs/$1/design.md exists

If validation fails, inform user to complete design phase first.

Invoke Subagent

Delegate design validation to validate-design-agent:

Use the Task tool to invoke the Subagent with file path patterns:

Task(
  subagent_type="validate-design-agent",
  description="Interactive design review",
  prompt="""
Feature: $1
Spec directory: .kiro/specs/$1/

File patterns to read:
- .kiro/specs/$1/spec.json
- .kiro/specs/$1/requirements.md
- .kiro/specs/$1/design.md
- .kiro/steering/*.md
- .kiro/settings/rules/design-review.md
"""
)

Display Result

Show Subagent summary to user, then provide next step guidance:

Next Phase: Task Generation

If Design Passes Validation (GO Decision):

  • Review feedback and apply changes if needed
  • Run /kiro:spec-tasks $1 to generate implementation tasks
  • Or /kiro:spec-tasks $1 -y to auto-approve and proceed directly

If Design Needs Revision (NO-GO Decision):

  • Address critical issues identified
  • Re-run /kiro:spec-design $1 with improvements
  • Re-validate with /kiro:validate-design $1

Note: Design validation is recommended but optional. Quality review helps catch issues early.

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.
