design

design is a skill for Claude Code from juicesharp/rpiv-pi. It costs 61 tokens per session (6,398 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided design workflow for planning complex software changes in small vertical slices, where each slice covers the parts needed for one usable piece. It includes research, design decisions, code generation, and developer checkpoints.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design features that affect several parts of an application, review the design slice by slice, and create a plan that another workflow can implement.
Why use it?
It helps break large changes into manageable pieces and surfaces unclear decisions before they spread across the codebase. The resulting design can guide later implementation 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

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 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

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.

How it works:

  • Read input and key source files into context (Step 1)
  • Spawn targeted research agents for depth analysis (Step 2)
  • Identify ambiguities — triage into simple decisions and genuine ambiguities (Step 3)
  • Holistic self-critique — review the combined design for gaps and contradictions (Step 4)
  • Developer checkpoint — resolve genuine ambiguities one at a time (Step 5)
  • Decompose into vertical slices holistically before generating code (Step 6)
  • Generate code slice-by-slice with developer micro-checkpoints (Step 7)
  • Verify cross-slice integration consistency (Step 8)
  • Finalize the design artifact (Step 9)
  • Review and iterate with the developer (Step 10)

The final artifact is plan-compatible.

Step 1: Input Handling

When this command is invoked:

  1. Read research artifact:

    Research artifact provided (argument contains a path to a .md file in thoughts/):

    • Read the research artifact FULLY using the Read tool WITHOUT limit/offset
    • Extract: Summary, Code References, Integration Points, Architecture Insights, Developer Context, Open Questions
    • Read the key source files from Code References into the main context — especially hooks, shared utilities, and integration points the design will depend on. Read them FULLY. This ensures you have complete understanding before proceeding.
    • These become starting context — no need to re-discover what exists
    • Research Developer Context Q/As = inherited decisions (record in Decisions, never re-ask); Open Questions = starting ambiguity queue, filtered by dimension in Step 3
    • If a discover artifact is also provided, read it for additional discovery context

    No arguments provided:

    I'll design a feature iteratively from a research artifact. Please provide:
    
    `/skill:design [research artifact] [discover] [task description]`
    
    Research artifact is required. Discover and task description are optional, in any order.
    

    Then wait for input.

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-pi (11 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 61 tokens to every session and 6,398 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
