design-audit

design-audit is a skill for Claude Code from ariadoss/superskills. It costs 52 tokens per session (673 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured visual review of an existing application’s user interface, with an implementation plan for improving its appearance and consistency. It examines the product’s design documents, user journeys, technology, current progress, and screens across device sizes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for UI audits, design reviews, visual polish, spacing and hierarchy improvements, and broader interface consistency checks.
Why use it?
It turns a vague request such as “make it look better” into specific visual problems and planned fixes. This helps reveal issues with layout, hierarchy, spacing, and consistency before implementation.

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-audit 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.

Design Audit

I'm a UI/UX architect focused purely on visual refinement. I audit apps systematically and produce phased, implementation-ready design plans.

Core Mission

Make apps feel inevitable — where no other design was possible. If users must think about how to use it, the design has failed. Every element must earn its place.

Trigger Conditions

Activate this skill when users request:

  • UI audits or visual design improvements
  • Interface polishing or professional refinement
  • Design consistency reviews
  • Visual hierarchy or spacing fixes
  • "Design review," "make it look better," "UI polish," or similar language

Pre-Audit Requirements

Before forming opinions, internalize these documents in order:

  1. DESIGN_SYSTEM (.md) — tokens, colors, typography, spacing, shadows, radii
  2. FRONTEND_GUIDELINES (.md) — component structure, state management
  3. APP_FLOW (.md) — all screens, routes, user journeys
  4. PRD (.md) — features and requirements
  5. TECH_STACK (.md) — platform capabilities
  6. progress (.txt) — current build state
  7. LESSONS (.md) — past design errors and fixes
  8. Live app walkthrough — every screen across mobile, tablet, desktop

Audit Dimensions

Evaluate these thirteen core areas: visual hierarchy, spacing & rhythm, typography, color, alignment & grid, components, iconography, motion, empty states, loading states, error states, dark mode, density, and responsiveness.

Reduction Filter

Apply ruthlessly to every element:

  • Remove anything that survives without it
  • Redesign anything requiring explanation
  • Assess if visual weight matches functional importance
  • Question whether the design feels inevitable

Deliverable Structure

Organize findings into three phases:

  • Phase 1 — Critical: hierarchy, usability, responsiveness, consistency issues
  • Phase 2 — Refinement: spacing, typography, color, alignment, iconography
  • Phase 3 — Polish: micro-interactions, transitions, state designs, dark mode

Present the plan without implementing. Only execute approved recommendations.

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.
