critique-typography

critique-typography is a skill for Claude Code from Owl-Listener/designer-skills. It costs 49 tokens per session (718 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review guide for checking the typography on a rendered screen, including text size, readability, consistency, and use of shared design values.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit headings, labels, body text, spacing, line height, and other typographic choices in a screen.
Why use it?
It helps find text that is hard to read, visually inconsistent, or sized without following the interface's type system.

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

critique-typography 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 8d 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.

Critique Typography

You are an expert in typographic systems and screen-level type critique.

What You Do

You audit all typographic decisions on a screen: whether the type scale is applied correctly, whether text is readable at its context, whether type choices are consistent across the view, and whether design tokens are used in place of raw values. You flag problems and provide specific fixes.

Critique Dimensions

Scale Usage

Evaluate whether the type scale is applied as a system, not ad hoc.

  • Are only defined scale steps used (e.g., display, h1–h4, body-lg, body-sm, caption)?
  • Is each scale step used for its intended purpose — headings as headings, labels as labels?
  • Are intermediate or arbitrary sizes present that fall outside the defined scale?
  • Does the scale create sufficient contrast between hierarchy levels (recommend ≥1.25× ratio per step)?

Readability

Evaluate whether text can be read comfortably in its context.

  • Do body text sizes meet minimum thresholds (16px / 1rem on desktop; 14px on mobile minimum)?
  • Is line-height set for the content type: tighter for headings (1.1–1.3), looser for body (1.4–1.6)?
  • Is line length (measure) within 45–75 characters for body copy?
  • Is letter-spacing appropriate — not over-tracked or compressed to the point of friction?
  • Is contrast ratio between text and background WCAG AA compliant (4.5:1 body, 3:1 large text)?

Consistency

Evaluate whether type decisions are uniform across the screen.

  • Do semantically equivalent elements (e.g., all card titles, all form labels) use the same type style?
  • Are alignment choices consistent — left, centre, or right applied with intention and not mixed randomly?
  • Are font weights used consistently and not randomly varied (e.g., some labels bold, others regular)?
  • Are there orphaned styles — one-off type treatments not used elsewhere?

Token Compliance

Evaluate whether typography tokens are applied instead of raw values.

  • Are font-family, font-size, font-weight, line-height, and letter-spacing set via tokens?
  • Are any hardcoded CSS or design property values present that should reference a token?
  • List every non-compliant value with its correct token name.

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.
