design-iteration

design-iteration is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from exiao/pm-skills. It costs 132 tokens per session (2,803 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A design-revision workflow that turns critique or test notes into a new mockup version and records why each change was made.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review notes from design reviews, user studies, UI checks, or other critiques; decide what to keep, change, or remove; and prepare the next version.
Why use it?
It keeps feedback connected to the resulting changes, making later testing able to show whether the revision helped.

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-iteration 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 Iteration

The loop step between testing a design and re-testing it. Something else generated the feedback (a design-review, a marketing-psychology / persuasion review, an another-perspective council, a synthetic-userstudies run, a UI-lint report, or the user's own notes). Your job is to turn that feedback into a revised version without losing the plot: every change is traceable to the critique that drove it, so the next test can measure improvement instead of just noticing the design changed.

Two ways to invoke this skill

Node mode (default): critique already exists (the user pastes a review, or a prior step produced one). Go straight to The loop below: triage → revise → change log. This is the single-responsibility core.

Full-loop mode: the user points at a raw mockup with no critique yet, e.g. "run design-iteration on this mockup / on <url>". There's nothing to triage yet, so you orchestrate the whole test-iterate-test pipeline: generate the critique (by invoking the sibling test skills), run the iterate node between each, and polish at the end. You still only own the iterate node. The review, study, and lint are separate skills you call; this skill never reimplements their logic. If you catch yourself writing a heuristic scorecard or a persona interview inline, stop, that's the sibling skill's job, invoke it.

Full-loop pipeline (the proven order)

Run these in sequence. Each → iterate is a pass of this skill's core loop on whatever the prior step produced.

  1. Reach for the design system (step 3 below) so critique isn't distracted by off-brand noise. Apply it loosely up front; save strict conformance for the end.
  2. Generate critique in parallel — dispatch design-review + a marketing-psychology / persuasion review + another-perspective as concurrent subagents against the artifact. They're independent, so fan them out in one batch, don't serialize.
  3. → iterate (pass 1) on the combined critique. Triage keep/change/kill, revise the winners in the real source, emit the change log.
  4. synthetic-userstudies (Variant Panel Mode) on the revised artifact: 4-6 personas weighted to the real leaking segment, adversarial ones included, one subagent per persona.
  5. → iterate (pass 2) on the panel. Convergence only: an issue 2+ personas hit independently earns a fix; a single persona's taste complaint does not. Calibrate to the real audience, don't let the most fragile persona over-drive fixes (see synthetic-userstudies for the false-floor rule).
  6. A final UI-polish pass on the survivor: motion/timing, tap targets (44px floor), contrast (WCAG AA), typography, using a dedicated lint/polish skill if you have one. Verify computed contrast/size numerically, don't eyeball.
  7. Deploy + verify live, then emit a final summary tracing the whole arc.

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.
