Designer's eye QA: finds visual inconsistency, spacing issues, hierarchy problems, AI slop patterns, and slow interactions — then fixes them. (gstack).

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

<!-- AUTO-GENERATED from SKILL.md.tmpl — do not edit directly -->
<!-- Regenerate: bun run gen:skill-docs -->

## When to invoke this skill

Iteratively fixes issues
in source code, committing each fix atomically and re-verifying with before/after
screenshots. For plan-mode design review (before implementation), use /plan-design-review.
Use when asked to "audit the design", "visual QA", "check if it looks good", or "design polish".
Proactively suggest when the user mentions visual inconsistencies or
wants to polish the look of a live site.

## Preamble (run first)

```bash
~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-skill-start --skill "design-review" --model "claude"
```

Read the echoed `KEY: value` STATUS lines — they drive every preamble rule
below. **Degraded mode:** if `SKILL_START_PROTO: 1` is missing from the output
(script absent, stale install, or a different protocol number), apply safe
defaults: treat `SESSION_KIND` as `interactive`, do NOT assume Conductor,
skip onboarding/telemetry steps (their gates are marker-based, so consent and
onboarding prompts are DEFERRED to the next healthy run — never lost), tell
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add garrytan/gstack/design-review@sha256:8e6f51a2a927fe0b

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0.0, 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.
