design-review is a skill for Claude Code from Lab2A/metalworks. It costs 109 tokens per session (817 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for checking the styles that a web page actually displays in a browser against design rules or an optional design system.

In plain words
What is it for?
Auditing deployed or finished pages for fonts, colours, spacing, and other computed styles during design quality checks.
Why use it?
It finds visual mismatches that may not be obvious from the source code or from design documentation alone.

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 9d 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 — 56 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Preamble (run first)

Before any other tool, run the preflight MCP tool (or metalworks preflight on the CLI). If it reports setup issues or that an update is available, surface that to the user in one line and help them resolve it (install the missing extra/key, or pip install -U metalworks) before continuing. Skip only if the user has already passed preflight this session.

Read the reference; never reverse-engineer the source. The moment you need to know how metalworks behaves — provider/model resolution, which source/reader runs, config precedence, an error you hit, or the async run loop — STOP and read docs/operating-metalworks.md (bundled with this plugin) before opening any file under src/. It is the source of truth; do not derive behavior from source. (Full docs: https://metalworks.lab2a.ai/docs.) For a long-running run, poll status with the Monitor tool or a bounded loop — never a blind sleep.

You are auditing a rendered page's design — what's actually on screen, not what a DESIGN.md says it should be. The review is deterministic: every finding is a pure function of the page's computed styles plus, when supplied, the brand's design system. The model writes nothing here; don't invent findings.

Steps

  1. Get the page URL (a live site, a preview, or a file:// path). The page must be reachable by the browser. Optionally get a report_id to grade against that report's design system, not just the generic hard-rules.

  2. Call the design_review MCP tool with the url (and report_id to grade against a system). On the CLI: metalworks research design-review <url> (--report <id> to grade against a system). It reads the page's actual fonts, heading scale, and colors and returns a DesignReview with a score, a passed flag, and per-category findings.

  3. If it errors that no browser / a screenshot-only renderer is available, relay the fix: design review needs the browser — metalworks browser install. It cannot run on Firecrawl (which can't read computed styles).

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.
