Octop is a self-hosted, multi-user AI assistant that runs multiple specialized agents and connects them to chat interfaces, tools, and external services. It is for individuals, families, and teams who want a locally operated assistant with shared experts and persistent capabilities. Catalogue add-ons extend its agent and assistant workflows.
Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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 | $0.00060 | $0.00917 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00024 | $0.00367 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00183 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00092 |
Grade A, and why
design-critique 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 today.
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.
This is a copy
100% identical to design-critique — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Usage
/design-critique $ARGUMENTS
Review the design: @$1
If a Figma URL is provided, pull the design from Figma. If a file is referenced, read it. Otherwise, ask the user to describe or share their design.
What I Need From You
- The design: Figma URL, screenshot, or detailed description
- Context: What is this? Who is it for? What stage (exploration, refinement, final)?
- Focus (optional): "Focus on mobile" or "Focus on the onboarding flow"
Critique Framework
1. First Impression (2 seconds)
- What draws the eye first? Is that correct?
- What's the emotional reaction?
- Is the purpose immediately clear?
2. Usability
- Can the user accomplish their goal?
- Is the navigation intuitive?
- Are interactive elements obvious?
- Are there unnecessary steps?
3. Visual Hierarchy
- Is there a clear reading order?
- Are the right elements emphasized?
- Is whitespace used effectively?
- Is typography creating the right hierarchy?
4. Consistency
- Does it follow the design system?
- Are spacing, colors, and typography consistent?
- Do similar elements behave similarly?
5. Accessibility
- Color contrast ratios
- Touch target sizes
- Text readability
- Alternative text for images
How to Give Feedback
- Be specific: "The CTA competes with the navigation" not "the layout is confusing"
- Explain why: Connect feedback to design principles or user needs
- Suggest alternatives: Don't just identify problems, propose solutions
- Acknowledge what works: Good feedback includes positive observations
- Match the stage: Early exploration gets different feedback than final polish

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.

sage-review
Deep, platform-neutral code review for PRs and CRs in ONE thorough single pass — design reasoning (Problem Worth Solving & Solution Fit) as one dimension alongside the 9 code-level dimensions, with chain-of-consequences, self-critique, and draft-only comments. The single app-owned source of truth.
design-critique
Run a heuristic evaluation of a UI design (image, HTML, Figma, URL, or flow) the way an experienced designer would. Evaluates 4 categories (Visual & hierarchy, Usability & interaction, Accessibility, Content) using recognized frameworks, NN/g 0-4 severity, and evaluability-aware prioritization that never judges what…
dashboard-template
Kiro Crew repo only: load this when a task will author or change a dashboard page. A page never ships alone: the same PR carries its TypedDict contract, its provider, and a parity test that the two agree. Scaffold all four from one field list; read numbers from an existing fold, never type them.
theme-pack-authoring
Build, validate, and install Kiro Crew theme packs -- pack anatomy, the 56-variable palette, role-tagged fonts, the overrides.css allowlist (what installs vs what actually renders), and the install-verify cycle. Use when the user wants to create or edit a theme pack.

Author images and diagrams as code — SVG, Pillow, Excalidraw, mermaid. Load when asked to draw, illustrate, or make an image, icon, logo, poster, or diagram.

Make a reply easier to read and act on with rich blocks inside ordinary Markdown — a choice the user picks from, a form that collects several answers, a procedure as steps with warnings in place, a callout, a Mermaid diagram, a weather card, a live clock or countdown, and a dashboard of gauges for a system snapshot, a…
