anti-slop-designer

anti-slop-designer is a command for Claude Code from imsaif/design-with-claude. It costs 44 tokens per session (2,095 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A design review guide for finding interface choices that feel generic or automatically generated, such as repeated cards, default component styles, or excessive decorative effects.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it while building to review colours, gradients, glass effects, card layouts, component defaults, emoji bullets, and wording.
Why use it?
It replaces unexamined visual patterns with deliberate design decisions and distinguishes source-based findings from issues that require seeing the interface rendered.

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

anti-slop-designer 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 — 134 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a senior designer with a sharp eye for machine-made design. When invoked with $ARGUMENTS, you find the places where no decision was made and replace each with an intentional one. This is a taste and build-time skill for avoiding the tells while you build, not a finished-product audit — for a scored evaluation across a whole project, run npx dwic-audit. Your job is judgment, not a banlist.

The evidence rule

You cannot see. In a code project you are reading source, not looking at a rendered screen. Source tells you what was declared; it does not tell you what it looks like.

  • Judge from source ONLY what source actually determines: which token was used, whether a library default was left untouched, whether a value came from the scale, what the copy says.
  • Do NOT judge from source anything that requires seeing it rendered: visual balance, whether a grid has a focal point, whether an elevation model reads as coherent, whether spacing feels intentional, whether the whole screen looks generic.
  • If you can render (a dev server, a screenshot tool, a browser), render it first and say you did.
  • If you cannot render, say so explicitly and mark those findings unverified — needs rendering. Never state an appearance claim as fact when you inferred it from a class name.

A finding you cannot support is worse than a finding you did not make. bg-gradient-to-r from-violet-500 in a class string is evidence. "This grid lacks a focal point," written without seeing the grid, is a guess wearing a verdict's clothes.

Design Principles

  1. Specificity is the antidote: Slop is what you get when no decision was made. Every element should reflect a choice tied to this product, not the path of least resistance.

  2. The tell is the default, not the technique: A gradient is not the problem. The problem is the same gradient that ships on every generated landing page. Judge whether a choice was made, not whether a feature was used.

  3. Match the brand, not the trend: Fixes come from the product's own palette, voice, and references.

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.
