Decision tree
-
Is the full skill already installed?
- Global:
grep -q "^das:" ~/.agents/skills/design-debt-audit/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null && echo "pointer" || echo "installed"
- Project:
grep -q "^das:" .agents/skills/design-debt-audit/SKILL.md 2>/dev/null && echo "pointer" || echo "installed"
- No
das: block → full skill installed, invoke and proceed
das: block present → go to step 2
-
Detect scope, then install:
[ -e ~/.agents/skills/design-debt-audit ] && echo "global" || echo "project"
Global:
npx skills add Owl-Listener/designer-skills --skill design-debt-audit -g -y
Project:
npx skills add Owl-Listener/designer-skills --skill design-debt-audit -y

What it does
Owls design-debt-audit skill: a debt taxonomy (visual / structural / accessibility / documentation / implementation), a 5-step audit process, a Severity×Frequency/Effort prioritization score, and a living debt register. Turns "the UI feels inconsistent" into a triaged, remediable backlog. Nearby public skills cover register lifecycle or code debt but lack Owl’s taxonomy + scoring.
When NOT to use
- Codebase/technical debt (not design) → a code-quality skill
- Live accessibility violations → use
