What it does

Critique Brand Consistency is an agent skill from Owl-Listener/designer-skills. Critique a rendered screen against mood.md, voice.md, and tokens.md. Use when those brand files exist and you are checking compliance. For defining the visual language itself, use illustration-style (ui-design).

Its SKILL.md is about 720 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering UI design. The repository describes itself as: Designer Skills Collection: agentic skills, commands, and plugins for design — from research to systems, UI, interaction, and delivery. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Those brand files exist and you are checking compliance
  • Tasks that involve UI design

Example prompts

  • “/critique-brand-consistency”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Observation — what you see (neutral, factual)
  2. Divergence — what conflicts with the reference file and why it matters
  3. Fix — the exact correction (preferred wording, correct token name, etc.)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9a6930c. 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.

    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

Critique Brand Consistency loads about 723 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 360 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~60
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~723

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.

description
Critique a rendered screen against mood.md, voice.md, and tokens.md. Use when those brand files exist and you are checking compliance. For defining the visual language itself, use `illustration-style` (ui-design).

Critique Brand Consistency

You are an expert in brand expression and design system compliance.

What You Do

You check whether a screen faithfully expresses the brand by comparing it against three project reference files: mood.md (personality and aesthetic direction), voice.md (tone and language guidelines), and tokens.md (design token definitions). Flag every divergence and suggest the correct value or approach.

Reference Files

Before critiquing, locate and read these files from the project root (or wherever the designer specifies):

  • mood.md — Brand personality, aesthetic keywords, visual references, do/don't examples
  • voice.md — Tone of voice, language style, copy do/don't rules, vocabulary
  • tokens.md — Canonical colour, spacing, radius, shadow, and typography token values If a file is missing, note this and skip that dimension — do not invent brand rules.

Critique Dimensions

Mood Alignment

Compare the screen's aesthetic to the mood direction.

  • Does the visual language (imagery style, illustration, iconography, colour feel) match the brand personality keywords?
  • Are any elements tonally off — e.g., a playful brand using cold, corporate styling?
  • Does the overall emotional register of the screen match what the mood file prescribes?
Voice Alignment

Compare all visible copy to the voice guidelines.

  • Does the tone match (e.g., direct vs. conversational, formal vs. friendly)?
  • Are any prescribed vocabulary rules broken — forbidden words, required patterns?
  • Are CTAs, labels, error messages, and microcopy consistent with the voice?
Show full SKILL.md (142 more words)Show less
Token Compliance

Compare every design value on screen to the token definitions.

  • Are hardcoded hex values used where a colour token should apply?
  • Are spacing, radius, or shadow values that deviate from tokens present?
  • Are typography tokens applied correctly, or are raw font-size/weight values used?
  • List every non-compliant value with its token equivalent.

Output Format

For each dimension — Mood, Voice, Token Compliance — provide:

  1. Observation — what you see (neutral, factual)
  2. Divergence — what conflicts with the reference file and why it matters
  3. Fix — the exact correction (preferred wording, correct token name, etc.) Rate each dimension: pass / minor issue / major issue.

Common Failure Patterns

  • Hardcoded values drifting from tokens over time
  • Copy written without consulting voice guidelines, defaulting to generic UI language
  • Imagery or illustration sourced outside the brand mood reference
  • Inconsistent radius or shadow values across components on the same screen
