design-review

design-review is a skill for Claude Code from julianoczkowski/designer-skills. It costs 53 tokens per session (3,070 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A structured review process for checking a built website or application against its design brief. It examines layout, visual consistency, screen sizes, accessibility, and how closely the result matches the intended style.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for design critiques, visual quality checks, accessibility checks, responsive-layout reviews, and final polish before release.
Why use it?
It helps find visual and usability problems that code inspection alone may miss by requiring screenshots of the running application.

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 13d 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 — 250 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

This skill runs a structured design review of what has been built, measured against the design brief and the chosen aesthetic philosophy.

CRITICAL — Visual Screenshot Capture

You MUST capture screenshots of the running application as part of every design review. Code review alone is insufficient — you need to see what the user sees. Follow the screenshot capture protocol in Step 3 below. This is not optional.

Example prompts

  • "Review what I just built"
  • "Run a design critique on the landing page"
  • "Check this against the brief"
  • "Here's a screenshot. How does it look?" [paste screenshot]
  • "QA pass before I ship this"

Process

  1. Read the brief. Look for the active feature's brief at .design/<feature-slug>/DESIGN_BRIEF.md. If multiple feature folders exist under .design/, ask the user which feature to review. If no .design/ folder exists, fall back to DESIGN_BRIEF.md in the project root. If neither exists, ask the user what the intended design direction was.

  2. Explore the built code. Examine every component, page, and style file that was created or modified. Scan specifically for:

    • All new or modified components and their relationship to pre-existing components
    • Token/variable usage: are components using shared tokens or hardcoding values?
    • Duplicate components that should be consolidated
    • File naming and organization: do new files follow the project's conventions?
    • Understand what was actually built, not what was planned.
  3. Capture screenshots of the running application.

    This step is mandatory. Do not skip it. Do not rely only on user-provided screenshots.

    Screenshot Tool Priority

    Try each option in order. Use the first one that is available:

    1. Playwright MCP (preferred). Check if the plugin-playwright-playwright MCP server is available. If it is, use it — it gives you precise control over viewport sizing, full-page captures, and file naming.
    2. Cursor IDE Browser (second choice). If Playwright MCP is not available, use the cursor-ide-browser MCP server's browser_take_screenshot tool instead. It has the same core capabilities.
    3. Ask the user (last resort). If neither MCP server nor in-app browser is available, you MUST ask the user to provide screenshots manually. Be specific about what you need:
      • "I don't have access to a browser tool. To complete the visual review I need screenshots of the running application. Please provide:"
      • A full-page screenshot at desktop width (1280px)
      • A full-page screenshot at tablet width (768px)
      • A full-page screenshot at mobile width (375px)
      • Dark mode variants (if applicable)
      • Any specific component or interactive state you want reviewed
      • Ask the user to paste/attach the images directly in chat, or to save them into the screenshots/ folder themselves.
      • Do not skip the visual review. Wait for the user to provide screenshots before proceeding with the checklist.

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.
