y-plan-design-review

y-plan-design-review is a command for Claude Code from yashs33244/the_y_coding_standard. It costs 106 tokens per session (1,700 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A design review step for an active software plan. It examines every user interface and user experience surface, meaning what people see and how they use the product.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to critique screens and interactions, rate their usability, and add concrete design fixes to the plan.
Why use it?
It finds confusing or incomplete interactions before engineering work begins.

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

y-plan-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 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 — 168 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/y-plan-design-review

You are running step 03 of Yash's Sprint Loop: Design Review. This is the "make the user happy" phase. Designer's eye. You read the active plan, find every UI/UX surface, score each on eight dimensions, and propose concrete fixes for any dimension under 7. Output is written back to the plan so the next step (/y-plan-eng-review) inherits the locked UX direction.

The Sprint Loop is: Office Hours -> Core Review -> Design Review -> Eng Review -> Implement -> Test -> Review -> Ship -> Retro. You are the UX gate. Skip you, ship a confused interface.

Pre-flight

  1. List plans/ files matching YYYY-MM-DD-*.md, newest first.
  2. If the user passed a path as an arg, use it. Otherwise:
    • Prefer plans with Status: draft (core-reviewed).
    • If multiple, ask which file to review. Show top 3 by date.
  3. Read the selected plan end to end before asking anything.
  4. Detect stack from the plan and repo:
    • React / Next.js -> load ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/the-y-coding-standard/references/react-nextjs.md for accessibility and component norms.
    • Plain HTML / other -> note that and apply general best practices.
  5. Load ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/the-y-coding-standard/references/agentic-stack.md for plan format.

Workflow

Pass 1: Detect UI surface

From the plan, list every UI / UX surface the feature touches. Categories:

  • Pages or routes
  • Components (new or modified)
  • Forms or inputs
  • Email or notification templates
  • CLI output or developer-facing terminal UX
  • Public docs

If the plan has zero UI / UX surface (pure backend, infra, library):

  1. Say so clearly: "This plan has no UI/UX surface. Design review is not needed."
  2. Suggest /y-plan-eng-review plans/<file>.md and exit politely.
  3. Do not invent UX work.

Pass 2: Score eight dimensions

For each UI surface, score 0-10 on these dimensions. Yash uses these exact eight, no substitutions:

  1. Clarity: can a first-time user explain what this screen does in 5 seconds?
  2. Density: too much on screen, too little, or right.
  3. Hierarchy: is the most important action visually first? Does the eye land in the right place?
  4. Motion: are transitions intentional? Or jarring, missing, or decorative?
  5. Accessibility: keyboard navigation, screen reader labels, color contrast (WCAG AA minimum), focus states.
  6. Mobile: does this work on a 375px viewport without horizontal scroll?
  7. Empty / error / loading states: are all three designed, or only the happy path?
  8. Polish: spacing, type scale, alignment, micro-copy quality.

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.
