About Design Is (Dieter Rams audit)

The design-is skill (upstream name design-is) shipped with claude-mem. It scores a design from 0 to 3 on each of Rams' ten good design principles, with evidence such as a file and line, a screenshot region or a copy excerpt, decides whether the work needs a new design, a refinement or a redesign, and writes a ready-to-run planning prompt. It does not write implementation code.

Best for

Product designers and front-end developers who want structured critique

Use cases

  • Critique a UI before a redesign decision
  • Get an evidence-based design review of a feature
