SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Design reviews often produce vague or inconsistent feedback, and AI-generated interfaces frequently ship with generic visual patterns that undermine brand identity. This Skill provides a structured, design-director-style critique that identifies concrete problems and actionable fixes. ## Core Features & Use Cases - AI Slop Detection: Flags generic AI-generated design tells such as gradient text, glassmorphism, and identical card grids before they reach production. - Ten-Dimension Evaluation: Assesses visual hierarchy, information architecture, emotional resonance, discoverability, composition, typography, color, states, and microcopy. - Prioritized Critique Report: Produces a structured report with an anti-patterns verdict, priority issues with concrete fixes, and recommended follow-up commands. - Use Case: After building a new dashboard page, run a critique to receive a brutally honest assessment of whether the layout communicates the right hierarchy and which three issues to fix first. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to critique the current page or component design and generate a prioritized feedback report.

FAQPage Schema
How do I get structured UX feedback on my interface design?▼

Run a design critique that evaluates the interface across ten dimensions including visual hierarchy, information architecture, and typography. The output is a structured report with an overall impression, priority issues, and concrete fixes for each problem.

How to detect AI-generated design patterns in a UI?▼

Check for common AI slop tells such as gradient text, glassmorphism, dark mode with glowing accents, identical card grids, and generic fonts. The critique's anti-patterns verdict gives a pass/fail assessment with specific tells listed.

What does a design critique report include?▼

The report contains an anti-patterns verdict, overall impression, what is working, three to five priority issues each with a fix and recommended command, minor observations, and provocative questions to unlock better solutions.

Does the critique skill require other design resources?▼

It applies the Design Context from CLAUDE.md and relevant frontend-design principles. The frontend-design skill is loaded only if those principles are not already available in context.

When should I not use a design critique?▼

Avoid it for purely technical correctness checks like accessibility audits or performance testing, since the critique focuses on experiential design quality rather than code-level validation.
