design-perspective

design-perspective is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from shinpr/claude-code-discover. It costs 49 tokens per session (731 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of design checks that applies product principles, WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility guidance, user personas, and interface states such as loading, empty, error, partial, and success.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review user experiences, check accessibility, guide design decisions, and define the states a feature must handle.
Why use it?
It helps teams account for different users and possible interface conditions while making product decisions and acceptance criteria.

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-perspective 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 5d 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 Perspective

Core Philosophy

Design is not a phase — it is a perspective applied across all product processes.

Process Design's Role
Opportunity Discovery Journey maps, pain point visualization
Solution Generation Design principle-driven ideation
Assumption Validation Prototype generation → usability testing
PRD Definition Usability risk confirmation for user stories
Reflection UX learning accumulation

Design Principles Reference

Reference only the product-specific principles from docs/product/design-principles.md that can change the current design decision.

Design principles are product-specific guardrails that guide all design decisions. They are not generic best practices but choices that reflect this product's values and trade-offs.

State Design

State Design checks Loading, Empty, Error, Partial, and Success, then specifies the states that can change observable behavior or verification.

In practice:

  • PRDs specify applicable state behavior and preserve an exclusion reason when omission would be ambiguous
  • Prototypes implement the states needed to test the hypothesis
  • User stories addressing Usability risk should consider all relevant states

Accessibility Standards

Baseline: WCAG 2.2 AA compliance

Key requirements:

  • Perceivable: Text alternatives for non-text content, sufficient color contrast (4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large text), content adaptable to different presentations
  • Operable: All functionality available via keyboard, sufficient time for interactions, no content that causes seizures, clear navigation mechanisms
  • Understandable: Readable text, predictable behavior, input assistance for error prevention
  • Robust: Compatible with assistive technologies, valid markup

Accessibility is a Usability risk dimension — factor it into confidence scoring.

Persona and Context Integration

When they can change the current design decision, reference:

  • Personas (docs/product/personas/) — Who is using this? What's their context, skill level, environment?
  • Journey Maps (docs/discovery/journeys/) — Where in their journey does this interaction happen?

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.

design-perspective is a skill published in the GitHub repository shinpr/claude-code-discover (10 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 49 tokens to every session and 731 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 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.
