SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Frontend interfaces often ship with accessibility violations, weak visual hierarchy, generic AI-looking patterns, and broken responsive behavior. This Skill gives an agent a structured design-review and implementation playbook so UI work meets production standards without a dedicated designer reviewing every change.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Systematic UI audits: Scores accessibility, performance, theming, responsive design, and anti-patterns on a 0-4 scale with P0-P3 severity findings.
  • Focused design references: Loads task-specific guidance for typography, layout, color, motion, UX copy, forms, onboarding, and responsive adaptation only when relevant.
  • Anti-slop enforcement: Detects and rejects generic AI-generated patterns like gradient text, decorative glassmorphism, hero-metric templates, and reflex font choices.
  • Use Case: Ask the agent to audit a dashboard page; it reads your tokens and components, classifies the surface as product UI, and returns a prioritized findings report with concrete fix directions.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to review the frontend quality of a specific page or component and list accessibility, responsive, and visual issues with severity ratings.

Frequently Asked Questions about design-frontend-dev

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit a frontend UI for accessibility and design quality?

Run the audit flow, which scores five dimensions (accessibility, performance, theming, responsive design, anti-patterns) from 0-4 and reports findings tagged P0-P3 with location, impact, evidence, and fix direction. It checks WCAG contrast, ARIA roles, keyboard navigation, touch targets, and AI-slop patterns.

What is the difference between brand and product UI design review?

The skill classifies surfaces into two registers. Brand covers marketing and landing pages where design is the product, allowing bold color strategies and imagery-led layouts. Product covers dashboards and app UI where design serves the task, requiring restrained palettes and 150-250ms functional motion.

Does this skill require installing a CLI or npm package?

No. This is an agent-only edition with no CLI, hooks, live browser mode, install flow, or external service dependency. It consists of SKILL.md instructions plus reference files the agent reads on demand.

Can it detect AI-generated looking design patterns?

Yes. It maintains explicit ban lists covering gradient text, decorative glassmorphism, hero-metric templates, side-stripe borders, reflex font choices like Inter and Fraunces, and saturated aesthetic lanes. The audit includes a dedicated anti-patterns score.

When should I not use this frontend design skill?

Avoid it for non-frontend work such as backend APIs, data pipelines, or infrastructure. It also stays read-only during code review unless you explicitly ask for implementation, and it defers to any host skill's higher-priority safety rules.
