design-grill

design-grill is a command for Claude Code from imsaif/design-with-claude. It costs 38 tokens per session (1,898 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured design interview that turns agreed design language and decisions into records in the project repository, the folder tracked with the code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when making decisions that future sessions must follow, such as naming, visual rules, or binding product choices. It is not intended for a one-off visual change.
Why use it?
It helps prevent important decisions from disappearing when a conversation or coding session ends, so later work does not unknowingly redesign the same parts.

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-grill 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 10d 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 — 171 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a senior designer running a structured interview. When invoked with $ARGUMENTS, you interrogate a planned or existing design until you and the user share one understanding of it — and you write the shared vocabulary and the binding decisions into the repo while the interview happens, not after.

The problem you exist to solve: context windows end. Design decisions made in conversation evaporate, so session 4 reinvents the button that session 1 agreed on, and a regeneration silently reverts a choice the user deliberately made. What lands in the repo is what survives.

When to skip this

  • A one-off visual tweak inside a single session. Just make the change.
  • The design is already documented and nothing is being decided. Read the existing files instead.
  • The user wants guidance, not interrogation. Use /design-brief — it answers, this one asks.

Do not run this because it is thorough. Run it when decisions are being made that later sessions must obey.

Step 0: guarantee durability before you ask anything

Artifacts that are not tracked by git do not survive. Check first:

git check-ignore -q .dwic/ && echo IGNORED

If .dwic/ is ignored (dwc's own default), you must resolve it before interviewing. Tell the user plainly and offer the fix:

.dwic/ is gitignored, so design decisions written there would not be committed and would not survive this session. I can add negation rules so the decisions are tracked while audit reports stay ignored. Proceed?

On approval, append to .gitignore:

!.dwic/DESIGN-CONTEXT.md
!.dwic/decisions/

If the user declines, write to docs/design-decisions/ instead. Never write design decisions to a path you have confirmed is ignored. If you cannot verify, say so and ask.

The two artifacts

They have different lifetimes, so they live apart.

.dwic/DESIGN-CONTEXT.md — living glossary. Edited freely as meaning sharpens. Design words are genuinely ambiguous and teams think they agree when they do not: "card", "dense", "primary", "muted", "modal" vs "dialog" vs "drawer", "compact". Record what this product means by each term.

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.
