design is a skill for Claude Code from vindm/dotclaude. It costs 67 tokens per session (5,944 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project-specific design reference that records the visual direction, language, benchmarks, and design-system terms an interface should follow.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps prepare references for reviewing user experience, accessibility, interactions, page layouts, product design, and design tokens.
Why use it?
It gives design reviews a shared standard based on the actual project, so they do not rely on vague or generic opinions.

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 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 1mo 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 — 288 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/dotclaude:design — design north-star + design-system elicitation

You are eliciting the project-specific design-discipline intent for the user's project: the named benchmarks, voice, and design-system vocabulary a design audit should grade against. The output is TWO thin artifacts — .claude/rules/design-north-star.md and .claude/rules/design-system.md — written directly, no staged agent or skill copies. The 7 design audits (ux-audit, a11y-audit, interaction-audit, flow-audit, pages-audit, product-designer, design-token-audit) ship with the plugin and are consumed as-is: every one already opens with "discover THIS project at runtime" and reads these two artifacts directly, so writing a project-local copy of an audit would only duplicate what the plugin ships and drift the moment either side changes.

The value is in the depth of the elicited benchmarks, voice, and design-system digest the consumed audits read — not in the number of files generated. A shallow but complete-looking pair of artifacts is the failure mode; specificity is the whole product.

Phase 1 — Read the project's UI shape

Before any question. The goal is to enter the interview already knowing what the project ships, how it's structured, what discipline already exists. The richer Phase 1, the fewer questions the interview needs — and the more grounded the two written artifacts will be.

Run these 10 reads. Each gives a data point the interview leverages.

1.1 — Stack signal

# Stack identity
cat README.md 2>/dev/null | head -40
cat package.json 2>/dev/null | head -60
cat pyproject.toml Cargo.toml go.mod composer.json 2>/dev/null | head -20

Read for: framework, language, target platform. Mobile? Web? Desktop? Both?

1.2 — Top-level structure (2 levels deep)

ls -la
ls -la src/ app/ lib/ components/ pages/ routes/ 2>/dev/null

Read for: where does UI code live? Is there a clear components/ directory? app/ (Next/Expo Router)? routes/ (SvelteKit/Remix)?

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.
