## MANDATORY PREPARATION

Use the frontend-design skill — it contains design principles, anti-patterns, and the **Context Gathering Protocol**. Follow the protocol before proceeding — if no design context exists yet, you MUST run teach-impeccable first. Additionally gather: what the interface is trying to accomplish.

Conduct a holistic design critique, evaluating whether the interface actually works—not just technically, but as a designed experience. Think like a design director giving feedback.

## Design Critique

Evaluate the interface across these dimensions:

### 1. AI Slop Detection (CRITICAL)

**This is the most important check.** Does this look like every other AI-generated interface from 2024-2025?

Review the design against ALL the **DON'T** guidelines in the frontend-design skill—they are the fingerprints of AI-generated work. Check for the AI color palette, gradient text, dark mode with glowing accents, glassmorphism, hero metric layouts, identical card grids, generic fonts, and all other tells.

**The test**: If you showed this to someone and said "AI made this," would they believe you immediately? If yes, that's the problem.

### 2. Visual Hierarchy

- Does the eye flow to the most important element first?

- Is there a clear primary action? Can you spot it in 2 seconds?

- Do size, color, and position communicate importance correctly?

- Is there visual competition between elements that should have different weights?

### 3. Information Architecture

- Is the structure intuitive? Would a new user understand the organization?

- Is related content grouped logically?

- Are there too many choices at once? (cognitive overload)

- Is the navigation clear and predictable?

### 4. Emotional Resonance

- What emotion does this interface evoke? Is that intentional?

- Does it match the brand personality?

- Does it feel trustworthy, approachable, premium, playful—whatever it should feel?

- Would the target user feel "this is for me"?

### 5. Discoverability & Affordance

- Are interactive elements obviously interactive?

- Would a user know what to do without instructions?

- Are hover/focus states providing useful feedback?

- Are there hidden features that should be more visible?

### 6. Composition & Balance

- Does the layout feel balanced or uncomfortably weighted?

- Is whitespace used intentionally or just leftover?

- Is there visual rhythm in spacing and repetition?

- Does asymmetry feel designed or accidental?

### 7. Typography as Communication

- Does the type hierarchy clearly signal what to read first, second, third?

- Is body text comfortable to read? (line length, spacing, size)

- Do font choices reinforce the brand/tone?

- Is there enough contrast between heading levels?

### 8. Color with Purpose

- Is color used to communicate, not just decorate?

- Does the palette feel cohesive?

- Are accent colors drawing attention to the right things?

- Does it work for colorblind users? (not just technically—does meaning still come through?)

### 9. States & Edge Cases

- Empty states: Do they guide users toward action, or just say "nothing here"?

- Loading states: Do they reduce perceived wait time?

- Error states: Are they helpful and non-blaming?

- Success states: Do they confirm and guide next steps?

### 10. Microcopy & Voice

- Is the writing clear and concise?

- Does it sound like a human (the right human for this brand)?

- Are labels and buttons unambiguous?

- Does error copy help users fix the problem?

## Generate Critique Report

Structure your feedback as a design director would:

### Anti-Patterns Verdict

**Start here.** Pass/fail: Does this look AI-generated? List specific tells from the skill's Anti-Patterns section. Be brutally honest.

### Overall Impression

A brief gut reaction—what works, what doesn't, and the single biggest opportunity.

### What's Working

Highlight 2-3 things done well. Be specific about why they work.

### Priority Issues

The 3-5 most impactful design problems, ordered by importance:

For each issue:

- **What**: Name the problem clearly

- **Why it matters**: How this hurts users or undermines goals

- **Fix**: What to do about it (be concrete)

- **Command**: Which command to use (prefer: /animate, /quieter, /optimize, /adapt, /clarify, /distill, /delight, /onboard, /normalize, /audit, /harden, /polish, /extract, /bolder, /arrange, /typeset, /critique, /colorize, /overdrive — or other installed skills you're sure exist)

### Minor Observations

Quick notes on smaller issues worth addressing.

### Questions to Consider

Provocative questions that might unlock better solutions:

- "What if the primary action were more prominent?"

- "Does this need to feel this complex?"

- "What would a confident version of this look like?"

**Remember**:

- Be direct—vague feedback wastes everyone's time

- Be specific—"the submit button" not "some elements"

- Say what's wrong AND why it matters to users

- Give concrete suggestions, not just "consider exploring..."

- Prioritize ruthlessly—if everything is important, nothing is

- Don't soften criticism—developers need honest feedback to ship great design
