review-design

review-design is a skill for Claude Code from mgiovani/cc-arsenal. It costs 185 tokens per session (3,214 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A user-interface and user-experience audit for a live website or static codebase, covering layout, text, colour, components, feedback, and accessibility.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review a running URL, inspect a static site's CSS and components, or assess both against WCAG 2.2 AA, Material Design, Apple interface guidance, and other listed standards.
Why use it?
It helps identify design problems and explain them using established accessibility and interface guidelines, without changing the code.

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

review-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 22d 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 Review

Comprehensive UX/UI/design quality analysis across 8 audit dimensions, each mapped to authoritative standards. This skill only analyzes: it identifies design issues, explains findings against a cited criterion, and suggests fix approaches without making code changes.

It supports two input modes:

  • Live mode: audits a running URL via the agent-browser CLI (screenshots + DOM/accessibility snapshot).
  • Static mode: audits a codebase (CSS/components/design tokens) via Grep.

When both a URL and a codebase target are supplied, it runs both and emits two separate reports.

Audit Taxonomy (8 Dimensions)

# Dimension Key Standards
1 Visual Hierarchy & Layout NN/g, Refactoring UI, Laws of UX, MD3 8pt grid
2 Typography Butterick, Refactoring UI, MD3, Apple HIG
3 Color & Theming (incl. Dark Mode) MD3 color roles, 60-30-10, WCAG 1.4.1/1.4.3
4 Depth & Elevation (Shadows) MD3 elevation, Refactoring UI, Josh Comeau
5 Components & Affordance (Buttons/Icons) MD3 buttons/icons, Apple HIG, NN/g
6 Feedback & States NN/g visibility-of-status, MD3 state layers
7 Motion & Microinteractions NN/g animation, Laws of UX (Doherty), MD3 motion
8 Accessibility (cross-cutting) WCAG 2.2 AA

Measurable criteria for dimensions 1–4 are in references/criteria-foundations.md; dimensions 5–8 are in references/criteria-interaction.md.

Anti-hallucination guidelines

Design reviews must be based on actual evidence, never assumptions. This is critical:

  1. Observe before claiming: never report an issue without reading the code (static) or viewing the screenshot/snapshot (live)
  2. Evidence-based findings: every finding cites a file path + line number (static) OR a screenshot region + DOM ref (live)
  3. Cite a criterion: every finding maps to a criterion ID and an authoritative citation (WCAG SC, MD3 spec, etc.)
  4. Measure, don't estimate: report actual values (contrast ratio, px size, ms duration), not guesses. In static mode there is no rendered page to sample from, so compute the contrast ratio from the two hex/rgb values found in the CSS/tokens with the sibling product-design-tokens skill's scripts/contrast.py --pair FG BG (otherwise a python3 one-liner of the WCAG relative-luminance formula, given in references/agent-prompts.md); never eyeball a ratio
  5. Applicable-only scoring: only score dimensions that apply to the target; never penalize what cannot be observed
  6. State what was NOT checked: every report ends with an explicit coverage gap section
  7. No invented standards: only reference real WCAG SCs, MD3 specs, and HIG guidance

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.

review-design is a skill published in the GitHub repository mgiovani/cc-arsenal (8 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 185 tokens to every session and 3,214 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-31.
