visual-design-loop

visual-design-loop is a skill for Codex from giang6283623/minimal-vibe-coding-kit. It costs 71 tokens per session (951 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A process for reviewing and improving the visual quality of a user interface through screenshots and targeted changes. It first scores whether visual review is needed, then sets limits on how many review cycles to run.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for frontend polish, screenshot-based review, layout or typography changes, visual quality checks, and other work that changes what users see.
Why use it?
Automated tests may miss layout, typography, color, and other visual regressions. The process helps decide when screenshot checks are worthwhile and prevents uncontrolled redesign work.

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

visual-design-loop 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 118 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Visual Design Loop

Use this skill to improve a visible UI through controlled render-review-fix loops. Keep the brief and existing project conventions as the source of truth; do not add new product requirements just because a screen could be enhanced.

Gate

Do not start loops by default. Score the need first, 0-2 per question:

  1. Did the change alter a user-visible surface?
  2. Does the outcome depend on subjective visual judgment (layout, typography, color)?
  3. Could a visual regression reach end users unnoticed by existing tests?
  • Score 0-2: skip the loop; rely on the repo validation command.
  • Score 3-4: one screenshot check with at most one targeted fix; no loop.
  • Score 5-6: propose the loop with its budget and estimated cost, then wait for explicit user approval before the first loop.

Report the score and decision in one line, for example: "visual gate 5/6: proposing a 3-loop run, awaiting approval".

Contract

Before editing, resolve and state:

  • Goal.
  • Target surface: route, page, component, flow, or supplied screenshot.
  • Source of truth: current brief plus repo instructions, design system, nearby UI, and backbone.yml when present.
  • Render method: local URL, app command, Storybook story, preview command, static file, or supplied screenshot.
  • Screenshot method: browser screenshot, Playwright, in-app browser, provided image, or equivalent.
  • Editable paths.
  • Protected paths.
  • Budget: default 3 loops.
  • Timeout: default 10 minutes per loop.
  • Log path: /tmp/design-{project_slug}.md.

If render or screenshot capture is missing and cannot be inferred safely, ask for the missing command, URL, or image before editing.

Baseline

  1. Render the target surface.
  2. Capture or inspect the baseline screenshot.
  3. Review visible issues only; do not invent findings.
  4. Create or update /tmp/design-{project_slug}.md.
  5. Log the baseline screenshot, visual score, main issues, and any render constraints.

Derive project_slug from backbone.yml project.name when available; otherwise use the repository directory name.

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.
