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.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00063 | $0.02159 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00032 | $0.01079 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00013 | $0.00432 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00216 |
Grade A, and why
design-polish 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 12d 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 — 155 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Perform a meticulous final pass to catch all the small details that separate good work from great work. This skill makes changes — /design-audit and /design-critique are report-only. Polish is the last step, not the first — don't polish work that isn't functionally complete.
Detector and automated QA output are defect evidence only. A clean script result is never proof that the design is strong; gather browser evidence and inspect the real interaction path.
Preparation
Read ~/.claude/skills/minoan-frontend-design/SKILL.md for aesthetic principles. Check .design-context.md for project context.
Confirm the work is functionally complete before starting. If it's not, tell the user and suggest finishing the feature first.
Pull in prior critique (optional signal): If /design-critique has been run on the same target, read the latest snapshot from .design-critique/ and fold its P0/P1 items into your polish list. The critique is one input among many — do your own pass either way.
Triage cosmetic vs functional: Classify each issue as cosmetic (looks off, doesn't impede the user) or functional (breaks, blocks, or confuses the experience). When polish time is tight, functional issues ship first; cosmetic ones can land in a follow-up. Quality should be consistent — never perfect one corner while leaving another rough.
Design System Discovery
Aligning the feature to the design system is not optional. Polish without alignment is decoration on top of drift.
- Find the design system: Search for design system documentation, component libraries, style guides, or token definitions. Study core patterns: color tokens, spacing scale, typography styles, component API, motion conventions.
- Note the conventions: How are shared components imported? What spacing scale is used? Which colors come from tokens vs hard-coded values? What flow shapes are used for comparable actions (modal vs full-page, inline vs route)?
- Identify drift, then name the root cause: For every deviation, classify as a missing token (value should exist but doesn't), a one-off implementation (shared component exists but wasn't used), or a conceptual misalignment (feature's flow/IA/hierarchy doesn't match neighboring features). The fix differs by category.
What ships with it
2 files 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.

design-polish is a skill published in the GitHub repository tdimino/claude-code-minoan (41 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 63 tokens to every session and 2,159 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-08-30.
