taste-feedback

taste-feedback is a skill for Claude Code from Owl-Listener/designpowers. It costs 42 tokens per session (1,828 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review step that shows unfinished visual work during the build and asks for the user's design preferences before everything is complete.

In plain words
What is it for?
Set visual checkpoints, collect feedback during design work, and adjust subjective choices before the full interface is built.
Why use it?
It catches disagreements about colour, typography, spacing, or tone early, while changes are still cheaper to make.

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

taste-feedback 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.

Live Taste Feedback

The standard Designpowers pipeline catches taste mismatches at critique — after the full build is done. That's expensive. A wrong colour palette discovered after 8 components are built means rebuilding all 8. This skill interrupts the build at strategic moments to show intermediate output and ask: "Is this heading in the right direction?"

When to Use

  • During design-builder execution, at natural visual checkpoints
  • When the build involves subjective aesthetic decisions (colour, typography, spacing, tone)
  • When this project's taste direction (design-taste) is ambiguous on the decision at hand
  • When the project is new and there's little explicit direction yet for this decision
  • When the design-lead's direction was based on interpretation, not explicit user instruction

Do Not Use When

  • The user is in auto mode and hasn't opted into taste checks
  • The build is purely structural (data models, API integration, routing)
  • This project's design-taste direction already settles this decision clearly
  • The user has explicitly said "just build it, I'll review at the end"

Process

Step 1: Identify Checkpoints

Before the build begins, identify 2-4 moments where taste feedback is most valuable. More than 4 interruptions becomes annoying. Choose wisely.

High-value checkpoints:

Checkpoint Why It Matters When to Show
Colour and typography applied The foundational visual layer — everything else builds on this After the first component is styled
Layout structure visible Spatial relationships, density, whitespace After the primary screen scaffold is built
First interaction implemented How the interface moves and responds After the first stateful component works
Content integrated How real words look in the design After content-writer's copy is in place

Low-value checkpoints (avoid):

Checkpoint Why It's Low Value
Unstyled HTML structure Nothing to react to aesthetically
Individual component in isolation Context-free judgement is unreliable
After every small change Interruption fatigue kills the creative flow

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.
