Design Review
openclaw/openclaw-enterprise
Assess designs, public interfaces, state ownership, readability, and refactor proposals when the task calls for design review or structural simplification; not for unrelated routine edits.
A skill your agent uses to evaluate architecture, design proposals, refactors, module boundaries, dependency direction, data flow, concurrency model, and maintainability tradeoffs across any codebase.

What it does
Architecture Design Review is an agent skill from bbartling/open-fdd. Use to evaluate architecture, design proposals, refactors, module boundaries, dependency direction, data flow, concurrency model, and maintainability tradeoffs across any codebase.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/output-contracts.md` and `references/severity-rubric.md`).
It sits in Media & Creative, covering Design review and critique, Refactoring and Proposals and quotes. The repository describes itself as: Fault Detection Diagnostics (FDD) for HVAC datasets.
When your agent uses it
- Evaluate architecture
- Design proposals
- Module boundaries
- Dependency direction
Example prompts
- “/architecture-design-review”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Objective: one sentence describing the question to answer.
- Scope: files, folders, PR diff, services, packages, or docs to inspect.
- Constraints: read-only vs write, commands allowed, network/doc lookup allowed, and timeout.
- Required evidence: exact files/symbols/commands/sources to cite.
- Output schema: use the schema requested by the skill.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4002de0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Architecture Design Review loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 558 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 558 words (~1,314 tokens).
“When the user asks for design review, refactor review, architecture review, modularization, dependency cleanup, long-term maintainability, or tradeoff analysis.”
