design

design is a skill for Claude Code from juicesharp/rpiv-mono. It costs 121 tokens per session (8,696 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning workflow for complex software changes. It splits a feature into vertical slices, meaning small parts that each cover the needed layers, and records the resulting design for later implementation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to research a feature, break it into slices, verify each slice with checkpoints, and create a design artifact that can guide an implementation plan.
Why use it?
It makes large changes easier to review and resume by defining architecture decisions, dependencies, files, and the order of work before coding.

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 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (compaction-boundary.test.ts), 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.

Design

You are tasked with designing how code will be shaped for a feature or change. This iterative variant decomposes features into vertical slices and generates code slice-by-slice with developer micro-checkpoints between slices. The design artifact feeds directly into plan, which sequences it into phases.

Input

$ARGUMENTS takes two forms:

  1. Start — path to a research artifact (.rpiv/artifacts/research/*.md) or a solutions artifact (.rpiv/artifacts/solutions/*.md).
  2. Resume--resume <path-to-.rpiv/artifacts/designs/*.md>. The design must have status: in-progress; the artifact, not a compaction summary, is authoritative for locked slices and the next pending slice.

Metadata

node "${SKILL_DIR}/../_shared/now.mjs"
echo
node "${SKILL_DIR}/../_shared/git-context.mjs"
echo
echo "### recent (read only in case of empty user input)"
echo "recent research:"
node "${SKILL_DIR}/../_shared/list-recent.mjs" .rpiv/artifacts/research 4
echo
echo "recent solutions:"
node "${SKILL_DIR}/../_shared/list-recent.mjs" .rpiv/artifacts/solutions 4

Copy values verbatim — do not reformat the timezone offset.

Flow

  1. Input → 2. Research → 3. Dimension sweep → 4. Checkpoint → 5. Decompose → 6. Generate slices (code + Success Criteria) → 7. Finalize → 8. Present artifact → 9. Handle follow-ups

The final artifact is plan-compatible: ## Slices boundaries become phase boundaries 1:1, and Success Criteria pass through unchanged. Post-finalization code + coverage review runs inside /skill:plan Step 4.

Steps

Step 1: Input Handling

When this command is invoked:

  1. Resume mode first — when $ARGUMENTS contains --resume:
    • Parse exactly one design artifact path after the flag. If it is missing, outside .rpiv/artifacts/designs/, unreadable, or not status: in-progress, print the specific error and stop.
    • Read the design artifact FULLY. Extract Decisions, Architecture, Slices, Verification Notes, Developer Context, and Design History.
    • Find the first Design History entry still marked pending. Treat every earlier approved entry and its persisted code fences/Success Criteria as locked; never reconstruct them from conversation or a compaction summary.
    • Read the current source files for that pending slice FULLY, plus Architecture entries for files the slice shares with locked predecessors.
    • Skip Steps 2–5. Enter Step 6 at the pending slice. If no slice is pending, go directly to Step 7.

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.

design is a skill published in the GitHub repository juicesharp/rpiv-mono (779 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 121 tokens to every session and 8,696 once invoked, about $0.0006 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.
