Design Critique Skill
Provide structured, actionable design feedback using a consistent framework.
When to Activate
- User shares a design, mockup, or screenshot for review
- User asks for feedback on UI/UX
- User shares a PR or implementation to review from a design perspective
- User asks "what do you think?" about a visual or interaction
Critique Framework
1. What Works (Strengths)
Start positive. Identify what is working well — layout, hierarchy, color usage, interaction patterns. Be specific, not generic.
2. Usability Review
- Information hierarchy: Is the most important content most prominent?
- User flow: Can the user accomplish their goal without friction?
- Cognitive load: Is the interface asking the user to think too hard?
