Design Review

This runs a structured UX audit against Nielsen's 10 heuristics and scores your design across six weighted dimensions: visual hierarchy, consistency, accessibility, usability, responsiveness, and performance. You get a scored table with an overall quality number, plus a prioritized findings list sorted by severity from critical to enhancement. It includes a WCAG accessibility pass and even flags "anti-slop" design patterns like banned defaults. Best used when you need to justify design decisions with data, prep a handoff to engineering, or catch problems before they ship. The output is concrete enough to hand directly to a designer or include in a PR review.

Skill: Design Review

Requirements

This skill needs the full UX/UI Agent Skills kit: the gates, the references and the design-system library. Install it with npx ux-ui-agent-skills@3.1.0 init or as the Claude Code plugin. npx skills@1.7.6 add copies the skill folder and nothing else. Installed that way, this skill runs in guidance-only mode: no gate runs, so it gives no verdict.

Step 0: is the kit here? Check once: ls ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../../tokens >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo KIT_OK || echo KIT_MISSING On KIT_MISSING, open your reply with: "Guidance-only mode: the UX/UI Agent Skills kit is not installed here, so no gate ran and nothing below is measured." Then work from this file and general practice, under three rules. Do not guess or cite the contents of a kit file you could not open. State no measured number (no contrast ratio, no N/N, no "passes WCAG"): write "not verified" where one would go. End with a line Skipped (kit not installed): that names every gate script this file tells you to run, then the install command above.

Run a structured, scored review.
