Audit a website or UI and de-AI it — find the patterns that make it look template-generated (in both design and copy) and return specific, prioritized fixes that push it toward editorial, premium, human-crafted. Reviews layout, color, type, spacing, motion, accessibility, AND the words. Use after building or generating any frontend, or when a site looks "fine but generic" and you can't say why.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Claude Design Critic

Some sites are technically fine and still scream "an AI made this in one shot." This skill names exactly why and tells you what to change. It reviews the design *and* the copy, because generated-looking text gives a build away as fast as a centered hero and a purple gradient.

Use it as the finishing pass on `claude-landing-composer` output, on any vibe-coded frontend, or on a live site that feels generic. It pairs with the design tokens from `claude-design-system-architect` (audit against them when they exist).

## Step 1 — Take in the target

A URL (WebFetch + screenshot), a local project (read the components/styles), or pasted code. Establish: what is this page for, who's the audience, and what's the one action it wants? A critique without the goal is just opinion.

## Step 2 — Audit across dimensions

Go dimension by dimension and flag concrete instances, not vibes:

**Layout & composition**
- Every section a centered stack? Three-identical-cards reflex? Predictable hero → cards → CTA with no rhythm? Symmetry where asymmetry would feel crafted? Cramped or uniform whitespace?

**Color**

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add onewave-ai/claude-skills/claude-design-critic@sha256:7a7c366b46594fa4

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260605.d3d09f3, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
