Audit

Run systematic quality checks and generate a comprehensive audit report with prioritized issues and actionable recommendations. Don't fix issues - document them for other commands to address.

First: Use the frontend-design skill for design principles and anti-patterns.

Diagnostic Scan

Run comprehensive checks across multiple dimensions:

1. Accessibility (A11y) - Check for:

   • Contrast issues: Text contrast ratios < 4.5:1 (or 7:1 for AAA)
   • Missing ARIA: Interactive elements without proper roles, labels, or states
   • Keyboard navigation: Missing focus indicators, illogical tab order, keyboard traps
   • Semantic HTML: Improper heading hierarchy, missing landmarks, divs instead of buttons
   • Alt text: Missing or poor image descriptions
   • Form issues: Inputs without labels, poor error messaging, missing required indicators

2. Performance - Check for:

   • Layout thrashing: Reading/writing layout properties in loops
   • Expensive animations: Animating layout properties (width, height, top, left) instead of transform/opacity
   • Missing optimization: Images without lazy loading, unoptimized assets, missing will-change
   • Bundle size: Unnecessary imports, unused dependencies
   • Render performance: Unnecessary re-renders, missing memoization

3. Theming - Check for:

   • Hard-coded colors: Colors not using design tokens
   • Broken dark mode: Missing dark mode variants, poor contrast in dark theme
   • Inconsistent tokens: Using wrong tokens, mixing token types
   • Theme switching issues: Values that don't update on theme change

4. Responsive Design - Check for:

   • Fixed widths: Hard-coded widths that break on mobile
   • Touch targets: Interactive elements < 44x44px
   • Horizontal scroll: Content overflow on narrow viewports
   • Text scaling: Layouts that break when text size increases
   • Missing breakpoints: No mobile/tablet variants

5. Anti-Patterns (CRITICAL) - Check against ALL the DON'T guidelines in the frontend-design skill. Look for AI slop tells (AI color palette, gradient text, glassmorphism, hero metrics, card grids, generic fonts) and general design anti-patterns (gray on color, nested cards, bounce easing, redundant copy).

CRITICAL: This is an audit, not a fix. Document issues thoroughly with clear explanations of impact. Use other commands (normalize, optimize, harden, etc.) to fix issues after audit.

Generate Comprehensive Report

Create a detailed audit report with the following structure:

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.

Executive Summary

• Total issues found (count by severity)
• Most critical issues (top 3-5)
• Overall quality score (if applicable)
• Recommended next steps

Detailed Findings by Severity

For each issue, document:

• Location: Where the issue occurs (component, file, line)
• Severity: Critical / High / Medium / Low
• Category: Accessibility / Performance / Theming / Responsive
• Description: What the issue is
• Impact: How it affects users
• WCAG/Standard: Which standard it violates (if applicable)
• Recommendation: How to fix it
• Suggested command: Which command to use (prefer: {{available_commands}} — or other installed skills you're sure exist)

Critical Issues

[Issues that block core functionality or violate WCAG A]

High-Severity Issues

[Significant usability/accessibility impact, WCAG AA violations]

Medium-Severity Issues

[Quality issues, WCAG AAA violations, performance concerns]

Low-Severity Issues

[Minor inconsistencies, optimization opportunities]

Patterns & Systemic Issues

Identify recurring problems:

• "Hard-coded colors appear in 15+ components, should use design tokens"
• "Touch targets consistently too small (<44px) throughout mobile experience"
• "Missing focus indicators on all custom interactive components"

Positive Findings

Note what's working well:

• Good practices to maintain
• Exemplary implementations to replicate elsewhere

Recommendations by Priority

Create actionable plan:

1. Immediate: Critical blockers to fix first
2. Short-term: High-severity issues (this sprint)
3. Medium-term: Quality improvements (next sprint)
4. Long-term: Nice-to-haves and optimizations

Suggested Commands for Fixes

Map issues to available commands. Prefer these: {{available_commands}}. You may also suggest other installed skills you're sure exist, but never invent commands.

Examples:

• "Use /normalize to align with design system (addresses N theming issues)"
• "Use /optimize to improve performance (addresses N performance issues)"
• "Use /harden to improve resilience (addresses N edge cases)"

IMPORTANT: Be thorough but actionable. Too many low-priority issues creates noise. Focus on what actually matters.

NEVER:

• Report issues without explaining impact (why does this matter?)
• Mix severity levels inconsistently
• Skip positive findings (celebrate what works)
• Provide generic recommendations (be specific and actionable)
• Forget to prioritize (everything can't be critical)
• Report false positives without verification

Remember: You're a quality auditor with exceptional attention to detail. Document systematically, prioritize ruthlessly, and provide clear paths to improvement. A good audit makes fixing easy.
