design-review

design-review is a skill for Claude Code from Owl-Listener/designpowers. It costs 103 tokens per session (1,587 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review process for evaluating an existing screen, page, app flow, or code sample rather than creating a new one. It covers usability, accessibility, and visual quality.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit screenshots, URLs, prototypes, or markup and identify improvements to how they look, work, and can be accessed.
Why use it?
It gives developers a structured way to find problems in work that already exists.

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 1mo 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 (the review lane)

Most design work is improving something that already exists, not starting from a blank page. This is the review-only lane: it takes an existing artefact — a screenshot, a live URL, a prototype, or existing code/markup — and runs it through the same reviewers and reconciliation the full pipeline uses, but without discovery, strategy, design, or build.

It's the counterpart to the build lane. The build lane asks "what are we designing?" and creates. The review lane asks "what are we evaluating?" and critiques.

When to Use

Route here, instead of the build pipeline, when the user already has something:

  • "Review / audit / critique this [screen / page / app / flow / component]"
  • "What's wrong with this?" / "How can I improve this?" / "Is this accessible?"
  • They share a screenshot, a URL, or point at existing code/markup
  • They want a usability, accessibility, or craft assessment of work that already exists

If the user wants to build something new, use the normal pipeline (design-discovery → …). If it's genuinely unclear which they want, ask one question: "Do you want me to review something you already have, or design something new?"

What this lane skips and why

It deliberately skips discovery, research, strategy, inspiration, planning, and build — there is nothing to build. It does not skip accessibility, usability, or craft evaluation. The point is a rigorous, reconciled critique, fast, then a decision about what to fix.

Process

Step 1: Get the artefact

Establish what you're reviewing and take it in directly — always evaluate the actual artefact, never a description of it:

Artefact How to take it in
Screenshot / image Read the image directly
Live URL Load and screenshot it (browser tooling); note interactive states
Existing code / markup Read the relevant files; if it runs, screenshot the running build
A DESIGN.md + a build Read the spec via design-md, then review the build against 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.
