Thumb-First · Mobile Review (umbrella)
The one-stop entry point for the thumb-first mobile suite. It coordinates two independently-maintained sibling skills and merges their output:
| Layer | Skill | Answers | Output |
|---|---|---|---|
| Design judgment | thumb-first-design |
Is this the right mobile design? (platform-agnostic) | forks + opinions, by design impact |
| Platform technical | thumb-first-platform |
Is it built correctly for the device? (web/PWA-deep, native-handoff) | objective defects, P0–P3, file:line |
The two layers have different shelf-lives — design judgment is durable; platform specifics rot with each OS/browser release — so they live as separate skills and are versioned independently. This umbrella is the seam that runs both and reconciles them. Keeping the two finding classes visually distinct in the merged report is the whole point: never let an opinion read as a defect, or a must-fix read as a preference.
Mode Selection
Detect from $ARGUMENTS, else default to full review.
| Mode | Trigger | What runs |
|---|---|---|
| Full review (default) | "review", "audit", bare invocation, or anything spanning design + tech | Both passes → merged report |
| Design only | "design", "judgment", "patterns", "forks", "lenses" | thumb-first-design only |
| Platform only | "platform", "technical", "PWA", "safe area", "viewport", "performance", "defects" | thumb-first-platform only |
For design-only or platform-only, hand off to that sibling skill and stop — don't run the merge.
If the user picked a review but gave nothing to review, ask what they're reviewing — a screenshot, a live URL, code, or a description — before routing. Both passes can work from any of these; they just need one.
Full Review — Orchestration
Read workflows/full-review.md and follow it. The shape:
Step 0 · Detect the target once
Sniff the repo for web/PWA (next.config, vite, web manifest, service worker) vs native (react-native/expo, app.json, ios/+android/, *.swift, pubspec.yaml); if ambiguous, ask. Pass the result to both passes — the platform pass branches hard on it (see thumb-first-platform Step 0; native triggers handoff or an honest limitation, never a faked web audit).
Step 1 · Design pass
Run thumb-first-design's audit (../thumb-first-design/workflows/audit.md, loading ../thumb-first-design/references/designer-lenses.md). Produces design findings + the silently-decided forks. This layer applies to every target.
Step 2 · Platform pass
Run thumb-first-platform's audit path (../thumb-first-platform/workflows/audit-mobile-pwa.md) for web/PWA, or take its native branch (handoff / stated limitation). Produces objective defects with file:line and P0–P3.
Steps 1 and 2 are independent — run them as two parallel subagents when speed matters, then merge. Sequential in the main context is fine for small surfaces.
Step 3 · Merge
Combine into ONE report per references/unified-report.md:
- Design & judgment — forks and opinions, "decision needed", ranked by user impact. Distinct styling (amber/neutral).
- Platform defects — objective, P0–P3, file:line, "must fix". Distinct styling (red severity scale).
- Combined fix-order — one prioritized list interleaving both, so the reader sees what to do first regardless of class.
Base the HTML on ../thumb-first-design/references/report-template.html (the canonical report) and add the platform-defects section — don't reinvent the template.
What this umbrella is NOT
- It does not hold design or platform knowledge itself — that lives in the two sibling skills. This file is routing + merge only. If you're tempted to add a designer lens or a Safari quirk here, it belongs in the sibling.
- It does not write implementation. Design findings hand off to
responsive-craft/ RN-Expo skills; platform defects are fixed bythumb-first-platform's fix workflows.
