kiro-validate-design

kiro-validate-design is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Bilal140202/the-lord-of-the-skills. It costs 13 tokens per session (1,075 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of kiro-validate-design, MIT.

An interactive review of a technical design before implementation. It examines the specification, requirements, design document, and relevant project guidance, then gives a readiness decision.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review implementation readiness, identify up to three critical issues, recognize strengths, and decide whether work should proceed.
Why use it?
It helps expose important design concerns before developers build the feature, when changes are usually easier to make.

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

kiro-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 12d 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.

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. Gather Context:
    • Read {{KIRO_DIR}}/specs/$1/spec.json for language and metadata
    • Read {{KIRO_DIR}}/specs/$1/requirements.md for requirements
    • Read {{KIRO_DIR}}/specs/$1/design.md for design document
    • Core steering context: product.md, tech.md, structure.md
    • Additional steering files only when directly relevant to architecture boundaries, integrations, runtime prerequisites, domain rules, security/performance constraints, or team conventions that affect implementation readiness
    • Relevant local agent skills or playbooks only when they clearly match the feature's host environment or use case and provide review-relevant context
Parallel Research

The following research areas are independent and can be executed in parallel:

  1. Context & rules loading: Spec documents, core steering, task-relevant extra steering, relevant local agent skills/playbooks, and rules/design-review.md from this skill's directory for review criteria
  2. Codebase pattern survey: Gather existing architecture patterns, naming conventions, and component structure from the codebase to use as reference during review

If multi-agent is enabled, spawn sub-agents for each area above. Otherwise execute sequentially.

After all parallel research completes, synthesize findings for review.

  1. Execute Design Review:
    • Reference conversation history when available: leverage prior requirements discussion and user's stated design intent
    • Follow design-review.md process: Analysis → Critical Issues → Strengths → GO/NO-GO
    • Limit to 3 most important concerns
    • Engage interactively with user — ask clarifying questions, propose alternatives
    • Use language specified in spec.json for output

Changes

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.
