plan-design-review

A design review identifies missing UI/UX decisions in a design plan by rigorously checking for gaps in interaction flows, empty states, responsive behavior, and accessibility. It documents missing decisions and proposes concrete resolutions to ensure alignment with established design principles.

A principle-based design review is a process that evaluates plan documents against established design principles and DESIGN.md. It surfaces missing design system alignments and edge cases, ensuring user flows and accessibility criteria are clearly articulated before development begins.

You can check interaction flows and empty states by performing a design review that evaluates the plan against your design system. This process surfaces undocumented edge cases and proposes concrete design decisions to improve clarity, consistency, and usability.

Yes, a design review specifically targets missing accessibility and responsive behavior decisions within a plan. It documents these gaps, provides rationales for proposed resolutions, and ensures the final plan satisfies all design requirements.

The best way to prepare a plan document for handoff is to conduct a rigorous design review. This ensures the plan clearly articulates user flows, empty states, and design-system alignment, resolving missing decisions before implementation begins.

You should avoid an automated design review if your plan document lacks initial UI/UX decisions, interaction flows, or a referenced DESIGN.md file, as the review depends on existing plan structures to identify gaps and propose concrete resolutions effectively.
