In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a live URL, local HTML file, or feature for usability, run a Nielsen Norman heuristic evaluation, and produce a visual review report.

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-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 11d 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 Review

Run a full product design review. Walk through the product as a first-time user, answer 13 design questions, run a heuristic evaluation, and deploy a shareable before/after report to Surge.

Inputs

Parameter Required Description
URL or feature Yes A live URL, local HTML file, or description of the feature to review
Context No Any additional context about the product, audience, or goals

Start immediately with defaults. Do not ask clarifying questions. Make your best assumptions for anything you don't know.

Workflow

1. Walk Through as a New User

Open the URL in the browser. Navigate screen by screen, taking screenshots. React to what you see out loud:

  • What am I being asked to do?
  • Is it clear WHY I'd do it?
  • Where would I get confused or frustrated?
  • What would I expect to happen next?

Pay special attention to:

  • Time to wow: How quickly does a new user think "this is why I came here"?
  • Dead ends: Places where the user finishes something and there's no clear next step.
  • Empty states: Screens that look broken when there's no data yet.

2. Answer the 13 Design Questions

For each question, provide a specific answer based on what you observed. Do not ask the user. Make your best assumption.

  1. What is the objective of this feature? What problem does it solve? What outcome does it drive?
  2. Who is this for? Specific user persona, not "everyone."
  3. When and why would they use it? The trigger moment. What just happened that brings them here?
  4. What are they thinking about? Their mental state, concerns, expectations when they arrive.
  5. How did they get here? The previous step in their journey. What screen or action preceded this?
  6. What do we want users to feel? The emotional response we're designing for.
  7. What would they do without this feature? The alternative. Manual workaround, competitor, nothing?
  8. What do they do next? The next step after using this feature. Is it clear?
  9. Are we confident this is better than what already exists? Compared to the current state or competitors.
  10. What can we remove to have it work just as well? Strip to the essential. What's decorative vs functional?
  11. If we throw away our constraints, would we still design it this way? Imagine unlimited time and resources.
  12. Will most users realize the value of this feature? Is the benefit obvious or hidden?
  13. Is this for user growth, engagement, or retention? Which metric does this primarily serve?

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.
