What it does

Once installed, the agent reviews a screen, flow, or UI component in a fixed order: user job clarity, visual hierarchy, affordances, states, forms, accessibility, consistency, copy, and edge cases. It returns a prioritized list of must-fix, should-fix, and nice-to-fix issues, each paired with one concrete suggested fix, plus a list of strengths to keep. It is designed to recommend changes rather than redesign the product, and it asks for user context before critiquing.

Great for

  • Designers who want a second, checklist-driven read on a screen before handoff
  • Engineers reviewing a shipping feature for UX problems
  • Product teams preparing a feature for broader rollout

Skip it if

  • Requests for a full redesign, since the skill explicitly says critique is not redesign
  • Very early concepts with no artifact yet, where the skill advises sketching first
  • Work with no stated user context, since the skill says critique without it becomes personal taste

Try asking

  • “Critique this checkout screen before we ship it, focusing on states and accessibility”
  • “Review this onboarding flow screenshot and give me must-fix and should-fix items”
  • “Give me a design critique of our settings page with prioritized changes”

  3. 3

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Provide the user role, the job on this screen, and what success looks like before asking for a critique, since the skill asks for these first
  • Share the screen or flow in context, including what comes before and after it, so the critique can judge the journey
  • Treat the output as feedback rather than sign-off; ask explicitly if you want an approval statement
