Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00134 | $0.01083 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00054 | $0.00433 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00027 | $0.00217 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00108 |
Grade A, and why
ai-design-slop-audit 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 117 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
AI Design Slop Audit
A diagnostic audit, not a redesign. Find the smallest set of removals or
corrections that would improve the interface while keeping its existing
direction. This complements frontend-ui-engineering the way
code-reviewer complements writing code: that skill says what to do
while building; this one grades what already shipped.
Boundaries
- Don't guess whether AI made the design — judge the visible result.
- Don't assign a numeric "slop score."
- Don't reject a technique in isolation. A gradient, serif, dark theme, glass effect, card, or animation can be a deliberate, working choice.
- Don't prescribe a new font, palette, layout, or design system unless asked for one.
- Don't turn the audit into an implementation task.
- Mark anything outside the visible/provided evidence as unknown rather than assuming it.
Gather evidence
Inspect whatever the request actually provides: screenshots or recordings, the rendered page at relevant viewports, interaction/state changes, and source (markup, tokens, styles, copy). Every finding cites a concrete location — a component, a behavior, a line of copy. A generic tendency with no evidence in the artifact isn't a finding.
Classify each finding
- Quality defect — an established usability, accessibility, content, responsive, or runtime problem.
- Slop pattern — a repeated default, decorative layer, or generated-looking convention that carries no useful role here.
What to look for
Decorative stacking — glow, gradient text, glass, borders, shadows, grid backgrounds, particles, and beams combined so several layers do the same decorative job or compete with the content.
Template repetition — the same card treatment on nearly every content block; repeated icon-heading-description tiles with interchangeable content; nested rounded containers that don't communicate hierarchy; a generic landing-page section order unrelated to the actual product's usage journey.
Typography and copy clutter — duplicate text, empty superlatives and generated-sounding filler, decorative type that obscures hierarchy, long centered paragraphs that are hard to scan.
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
What this file has done since we first saw 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.

ai-design-slop-audit is a skill published in the GitHub repository shennawardana23/skillme (3 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 134 tokens to every session and 1,083 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-10-16.
