SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill finds missing UI and UX decisions in development plans and turns vague or incomplete design intent into a ship-ready plan. It prevents implementation from shipping without empty states, interaction states, responsive behavior, accessibility, and hierarchy decisions that determine user experience.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Plan-first design review: Read a plan or branch diff and treat the plan as the canonical artifact, not a live site.
  • Quantified critique: Rate each design dimension 0-10, explain what would make it a 10, and propose concrete plan edits to reach that score.
  • Gap filling, not coding: Insert explicit UI decisions, empty states, accessibility requirements, responsive rules, and edge case handling into the plan without making code changes.
  • Use cases: Run during planning, PR review, or before implementation to catch missing decisions, align product and engineering, and reduce rework.

Quick Start

Ask the assistant to run plan-design-review on your plan and return a revised plan with per-dimension ratings, explanations for how to reach 10, and explicit edits to the plan.

FAQPage Schema
How do I review a design plan for missing UI and UX decisions before implementation?

To review a design plan, you analyze the product plan or branch diff to identify missing UI and UX decisions like empty states, responsiveness, and accessibility. The process rates each design dimension 0-10, explains what makes a 10, and inserts concrete edits to make it ship-ready.

What is a design critique and how does it help fill gaps in a product plan?

A design critique evaluates a plan to find vague or incomplete design intent and fills gaps by adding explicit UI decisions, interaction states, and edge case handling. This turns the plan into a canonical artifact that prevents shipping without essential user experience specifications.

Can I use a plan review to check accessibility and responsive behavior in PR diffs?

Yes, you can run a plan review on PR diffs and branch changes that touch user-facing screens. It evaluates the plan for accessibility requirements and responsive rules without making code changes, ensuring the diff aligns with necessary UX specifications before merging.

How do I add empty states and edge case specifications to a development plan?

You add empty states and edge case specifications by applying a gap-filling review to the plan. This process inserts explicit UI decisions and edge case handling directly into the document, providing engineering with clear interaction states and hierarchy decisions without writing code.

Does design plan review make code changes or just propose plan edits?

Design plan review only proposes concrete plan edits and does not make code changes. It treats the plan as the canonical artifact, inserting UI decisions and accessibility requirements to align product and engineering, which reduces rework during implementation.
