validate-design

validate-design is a command for Claude Code from j5ik2o/okite-ai. It costs 7 tokens per session (863 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of kiro-validate-design, MIT.

A guided review of a technical design before implementation begins. It reads the project's requirements, design documents, project guidance, and review rules, then evaluates the proposal.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check whether a design is ready to implement and to identify up to three critical concerns for the team to resolve.
Why use it?
It helps catch the most important design problems before coding starts. The review gives a balanced assessment, a GO or NO-GO decision, and specific improvements.

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 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.

Origin

This is a copy

88% identical to kiro-validate-design — 27 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.

Technical Design Validation

<background_information>

  • Mission: Conduct interactive quality review of technical design to ensure readiness for implementation
  • Success Criteria:
    • Critical issues identified (maximum 3 most important concerns)
    • Balanced assessment with strengths recognized
    • Clear GO/NO-GO decision with rationale
    • Actionable feedback for improvements if needed </background_information>

Execution Steps

  1. Load Context:

    • Read .kiro/specs/$1/spec.json for language and metadata
    • Read .kiro/specs/$1/requirements.md for requirements
    • Read .kiro/specs/$1/design.md for design document
    • Load ALL steering context: Read entire .kiro/steering/ directory including:
      • Default files: structure.md, tech.md, product.md
      • All custom steering files (regardless of mode settings)
      • This provides complete project memory and context
  2. Read Review Guidelines:

    • Read .kiro/settings/rules/design-review.md for review criteria and process
  3. Execute Design Review:

    • Follow design-review.md process: Analysis → Critical Issues → Strengths → GO/NO-GO
    • Limit to 3 most important concerns
    • Engage interactively with user
    • Use language specified in spec.json for output
  4. Provide Decision and Next Steps:

    • Clear GO/NO-GO decision with rationale
    • Guide user on proceeding based on decision

Important Constraints

  • Quality assurance, not perfection seeking: Accept acceptable risk
  • Critical focus only: Maximum 3 issues, only those significantly impacting success
  • Interactive approach: Engage in dialogue, not one-way evaluation
  • Balanced assessment: Recognize both strengths and weaknesses
  • Actionable feedback: All suggestions must be implementable

Tool Guidance

  • Read first: Load all context (spec, steering, rules) before review
  • Grep if needed: Search codebase for pattern validation or integration checks
  • Interactive: Engage with user throughout the review process

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.
