kernel-chat-design-qa

A quality review guide for kernel.chat pages, which are editorial web pages and standalone publications. It checks how pages look and behave on different screen sizes, including accessibility and reduced-motion use.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reviewing desktop and mobile pages, interactions, document structure, overflow, broken images, control sizes, runtime errors, reduced motion, and print output.
Why use it?
It helps distinguish a page that merely runs from one that is usable and visually finished. It also checks production rendering rather than trusting a local development view alone.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

kernel-chat-design-qa 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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/audit-page.mjs), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Kernel.chat Design QA

Purpose

Prove the page works as a designed publication, not merely as compiling code. Inspect rendered output, exercise interactions, and separate hard failures from craft improvements.

Use this skill after $kernel-chat-web-design. If the problem is conceptual rather than implementation-level, return to $kernel-chat-art-direction. When the user asks for review only, report findings without editing files.

Establish the Review Target

Record:

  • Route or file under review
  • Local development, production build, or live deployment
  • Intended issue identity and core interaction
  • Required desktop and mobile widths
  • Whether print and standalone artifact filing apply

Do not treat a passing local development route as proof of a production deployment.

Run the Automated Baseline

From the repository root:

node .agents/skills/kernel-chat-design-qa/scripts/audit-page.mjs <url> <output-directory>

The script records desktop and mobile screenshots, document structure, overflow, broken images, undersized controls, runtime errors, reduced-motion activity, and a print proof. It writes audit.json beside the screenshots and exits nonzero on hard runtime failures.

Automated output is evidence, not a design verdict. Open the screenshots and inspect them visually.

Inspect in This Order

  1. Identity: confirm the page has one legible editorial argument and a recognizable issue silhouette.
  2. Hierarchy: read the page at thumbnail size, normal size, and 200% zoom. Confirm the eye encounters title, claim, evidence, and navigation in the intended order.
  3. Responsive composition: compare desktop and mobile as distinct compositions. Check every major section, long heading, bilingual lockup, caption, table, and control.
  4. Interaction: use keyboard, pointer, and touch-sized viewport. Confirm focus is visible, states are named, controls tell the truth, and content remains understandable without interaction.
  5. Motion: observe initial load, repeated navigation, fast scrolling, and reduced motion. Confirm the resting page is complete and no essential state depends on animation.
  6. Media: verify crops, resolution, loading behavior, alt text, poster states, aspect ratios, and that every asset belongs to the same visual grammar.
  7. Reading quality: check line length, widows, awkward wraps, contrast, caption proximity, density, and the rhythm between compression and release.
  8. Print and artifact filing: confirm all states remain available in print and standalone artifacts are self-contained when required.
  9. Production truth: verify the built file exists, the deployed URL resolves, assets load from production paths, and no console or page errors appear live.

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

kernel-chat-design-qa is a skill published in the GitHub repository isaacsight/kernel (16 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 73 tokens to every session and 842 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
