Design Critique

What it does

This skill provides honest and actionable design critiques for interface designs. It focuses on usability, aesthetics, and alignment with stated goals, delivering specific feedback rather than vague impressions. The critique process identifies issues, prioritizes them by severity (P0-P3), and proposes concrete fixes to improve the overall user experience.

When to use it

• You've designed a new screen or component and want an unbiased review.
• You’re unsure if your design is intuitive for new users.
• You need help identifying accessibility issues in your interface.
• You want feedback on the visual hierarchy and clarity of information presented.
• You're looking for suggestions to improve the overall polish and efficiency of a user flow.

Key capabilities

• Severity Prioritization: Categorizes design flaws based on impact (P0 - blocking, P3 - polish).
• Actionable Fixes: Provides specific recommendations for improving designs.
• Accessibility Checks: Evaluates focus visibility, contrast ratios, and touch target sizes.
• Contextual Analysis: Considers platform, users, and constraints when providing feedback.
• Positive Feedback: Includes praise for elements that are working well.

Example prompts

• "Critique this screen design: [link to design]"
• "Give me a design critique of this component focusing on accessibility."
• "Analyze this user flow and identify any areas of friction."

Tips & gotchas

• Providing context (platform, target users, constraints) will improve the quality of the critique.
• The skill delivers direct feedback; expect clear and specific observations.
