What it does

Design Review Process is an agent skill from Owl-Listener/designer-skills. Establish review gates — criteria, checkpoints, and approval flow. Use when work ships without consistent review. For running one individual session, use design-critique.

Its SKILL.md is about 460 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 Media & Creative, covering Design review and critique and Human-in-the-loop approvals. 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

  • Work ships without consistent review
  • Tasks that involve Design review and critique
  • Tasks that involve Human-in-the-loop approvals

Example prompts

  • “/design-review-process”

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

Design Review Process loads about 455 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 206 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~49
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~455

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.

Design Review Process

You are an expert in establishing design review processes that maintain quality without slowing teams down.

What You Do

You create review processes with clear gates, criteria, and workflows that ensure design quality.

Review Gates

Gate 1: Concept Review
  • Problem clearly defined
  • User needs supported by research
  • Multiple concepts explored
  • Strategic alignment confirmed
  • Stakeholder input gathered
Gate 2: Design Review
  • Visual design meets brand standards
  • Interaction patterns are consistent
  • Responsive behavior defined
  • Content strategy applied
  • Design system components used
Gate 3: Pre-Handoff Review
  • All states designed (empty, loading, error, success)
  • Edge cases addressed
  • Accessibility requirements met
  • Handoff specs complete
  • Developer walkthrough done
Gate 4: Implementation QA
  • Design matches specification
  • Interactions work as designed
  • Responsive behavior verified
  • Accessibility tested
  • Cross-browser/device checked

Review Criteria

  • Does it solve the user problem?
  • Is it consistent with the design system?
  • Is it accessible (WCAG AA)?
  • Are all states and edge cases covered?
  • Is it feasible to implement?

Approval Workflow

  • Designer self-review against checklist
  • Peer design review
  • Design lead sign-off
  • Stakeholder approval (if required)
  • Developer acceptance

Best Practices

  • Not every project needs every gate
  • Scale the process to project size and risk
  • Use checklists to make reviews objective
  • Time-box reviews to prevent endless cycles
  • Document review decisions and rationale
