design

design is a skill for Claude Code from AgentureHQ/agenture-loop. It costs 54 tokens per session (1,301 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A design workflow for refining a product, epic, or feature before implementation. At product level it creates an architecture document; at smaller levels it asks a planning subagent to refine the design.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose technologies and system structure for a product, or to improve the design of an epic or feature.
Why use it?
It turns existing requirements into a clearer technical design and checks that the required definition documents exist.

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 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 2mo 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 — 136 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Design (/agn:design <level>)

Arguments

Position Variable Value
$0 level product, epic, or feature

Argument validation

If $0 is missing, stop and ask:

"What level — product, epic, or feature?"

If $0 is not one of product, epic, feature, stop and list the valid set.

Dispatch

Read $0. Run exactly one of the branches below.


$0 = product

Preconditions

Required before starting:

  • docs/vision.md
  • docs/spec.md
  • docs/requirements.md

If any are missing, stop and tell the user: Cannot run /agn:design product — definition documents not found. Run /agn:define product first.

Output

Artifact Path
High-level architecture docs/architecture.md

In scope: technology choices, system architecture, domain dictionary (key terms), workflows and key APIs, security mechanisms.

Out of scope: detailed API signatures, database schemas, function-level design — those belong in task-level detailed design during implementation.

Workflow

  1. Draft docs/architecture.md from the definition documents.

  2. Review cycle with the user: incorporate feedback.

  3. Self-validation — produce a report covering: completeness, consistency with specs, over/under-engineering, design-principle issues.

  4. Document consistency — If architectural decisions change scope (e.g. defer a feature), update docs/spec.md and/or docs/requirements.md and state why. Chain: vision → spec → requirements → architecture.

  5. Gate — User explicitly approves before /agn:define epic or /agn:define feature.

Product-branch discipline

  • Do not invent requirements; align with definition docs or flag conflicts to the user.
  • Architecture impact that contradicts prior commitments requires explicit user agreement.

$0 = epic

Preconditions

The epic file must exist under tasks/epics/. If it does not, stop and direct the user to /agn:define epic.

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.

design is a skill published in the GitHub repository AgentureHQ/agenture-loop (2 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 54 tokens to every session and 1,301 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
