design-review

design-review is a command for Claude Code from oborchers/fractional-cto. It costs 20 tokens per session (328 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review command for checking code, screenshots, or other visual work against visual design principles. It reports problems, suggested fixes, items that already comply, and scores across several design areas.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a website or component, inspect a screenshot, or evaluate another visual artifact for layout, typography, color, accessibility, consistency, and polish.
Why use it?
It turns a broad design review into a repeatable checklist with concrete findings. For code, it can point to measurable issues such as contrast, spacing, font sizes, and image handling.

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-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 5d 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.

What it actually says

Review the current code, component, screenshot, or visual artifact against the visual-design-principles skills.

Follow this process:

  1. Identify which visual design areas are relevant to the current context (layout, typography, color, whitespace, hierarchy, consistency, craftsmanship, expression, responsive, accessibility)
  2. For each relevant area, invoke the corresponding visual-design-principles skill
  3. Evaluate the current artifact against each skill's review checklist
  4. If reviewing code (HTML/CSS/JSX), check for specific measurable violations (contrast ratios, spacing values, font sizes, image optimization)
  5. If reviewing a screenshot or visual description, evaluate against the observable indicators and scoring rubrics
  6. Report findings organized by principle, using this format for each:

[Principle Name] (Score: X/5)

  • Violations found (with specific file/line references for code, or visual location for screenshots)
  • What to fix and how
  • Items that already comply
  1. Provide a summary with:
    • 8-dimension score breakdown (Layout, Typography, Color, Whitespace, Hierarchy, Consistency, Craftsmanship, Expression) — each scored 1-5
    • Total score out of 40
    • Total violations by severity (critical / important / suggestion)
    • Top 3 highest-impact improvements to make first

Focus on actionable, specific feedback. Reference the exact principle and research being violated.

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.
