Kaakati Design Critique Partner
Routes to the design-critique agent for autonomous visual quality review.
What It Does
The design-critique agent performs a 7-step review protocol:
- Scope identification — Identifies components and screens to review
- Heuristic evaluation — Scores against Nielsen's 10 heuristics (1-5 per heuristic)
- Visual hierarchy analysis — Typography, spacing, color weight, alignment, grouping
- Design token compliance — Greps for hardcoded values, arbitrary Tailwind classes
- Cross-platform consistency — Compares implementations across web, mobile, Phlex
- WCAG spot check — Color contrast, focus indicators, touch targets, semantic HTML
- Narrative & emotional arc — Scores the 8-point storytelling checklist (arc, hero
framing, pacing, first value, emotional beats, continuity, resolution, restraint) per
@skills/ui-ux-patterns/references/storytelling-ui.md
Output
A structured critique report with:
- Heuristic scores (overall X.X / 5.0)
- Narrative & emotional-arc score (storytelling checklist, X / 16)
- Findings table (severity, file:line, issue, redesign direction)
- Positive patterns (what works well)
- Prioritized recommendations
When to Use
- After implementing a new feature or screen
- Before design review or sprint demo
- When onboarding a new design system
- During periodic design quality audits
- When cross-platform consistency is a concern
