design-review — Claude Code skill: what it does, how to install
Audits UI visually, fixes flaws with atomic commits, and captures before/after screenshots. Useful for tightening shipped interface code right before launch.
npx skills add nexu-io/open-design --skill design-review -a claude-codeWhat design-review does
This skill embodies the designer who codes workflow. The agent audits frontend screens, identifies visual flaws, and modifies CSS or markup directly. Every correction lands in an atomic git commit accompanied by before-and-after screenshots. You can verify every single UI change immediately.
The entry comes from Garry Tan's gstack repository and sits under the creative-direction category with design-system mode. It hooks into triggers like visual audit and pre-launch design checks.
Keep in mind that this entry only registers the skill so the agent discovers it during task planning. Running the complete workflow with its original helper scripts and assets requires installing the upstream gstack bundle into your agent's skills directory.
What it helps with
- Audit interface elements for visual discrepancies before shipping
- Apply design fixes through individual atomic commits
- Capture before and after screenshots to confirm styling changes
Example prompts for the agent
- Run design-review on the landing page before launch
- Perform a visual audit of the dashboard and show before after screenshots
- Do a pre launch design check on the checkout flow
