visual-review

visual-review is a skill for Claude Code from lucasfcosta/backpressured. It costs 60 tokens per session (1,329 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured visual check for a changed user interface against a design reference, such as a Figma screen or ticket image.

In plain words
What is it for?
Capturing the current screen and comparing its regions with the reference during front-end work. It is not for non-UI changes or automatic pixel-by-pixel regression testing.
Why use it?
Automated tests and quick clicking may not catch incorrect spacing, layout, contrast, or visual consistency. It makes those defects visible before the work is considered complete.

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

visual-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 7d 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.

Visual Review

Overview

You are the machine the producer ran so a visual defect wouldn't reach a human — or a user — first. Lint, types, and tests say nothing about whether the page looks right: layout, spacing, color contrast, and overall aesthetics live in a gap that automated checks and a quick manual click-through don't cover. This review is backpressure for that gap.

Core principle: structured region-by-region comparison against the real design, not one gestalt glance. A single "looks fine to me" glance reliably catches gross breakage and reliably misses the spacing, weight, and color mismatches that make a UI feel off. Break it down so the subtle issues have nowhere to hide.

When to Use

  • A backpressured loop has a front-end/UI change and a design reference to check it against — per-iteration on the changed view, and on the whole feature before done.

Not for: non-UI changes (skip it); pixel-perfect automated regression diffing (this is a structured human-style review, not a pixel diff). If there is no design reference available, say so and don't fake a pass — a review against nothing is not a review.

Step 1 — Capture the current UI

Run the app locally and drive a real browser with the Playwright MCP. Navigate to the changed view and screenshot it at the viewport(s) the design targets (e.g. 1280/1440 desktop; the design's mobile width if it specifies one). Take a full-page screenshot plus per-region screenshots so you can look at each area closely — a full-page shot alone is too coarse to catch local issues. Capture each region with a per-element screenshot (Playwright's locator(...).screenshot() / element clip), not by cropping the full-page image by eye — a real element shot is what lets you measure against the design.

Step 2 — Get the design reference

Obtain the source of truth and actually look at it: the Figma frame, or the images attached to the Linear ticket (pull them via the Linear MCP). Read the image files so you can see them — you cannot compare against a reference you haven't loaded. If you genuinely can't get one, stop and report that; do not approve by default. If a Figma frame and a ticket image disagree, treat Figma as authoritative unless the ticket explicitly overrides 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.
