Review UI

UI Review Skill

Overview

Reviews frontend code against the complete UI design fundamentals specification using parallel bulletproof-frontend-developer agents. Each agent focuses on one design domain, producing a comprehensive, multi-perspective review.

Usage

/review-ui <scope>

Scope can be:

• File path: /review-ui resources/css/components/buttons.css
• Component: /review-ui resources/views/components/landing/
• Glob pattern: /review-ui resources/css/**/*.css
• Description: /review-ui "the pricing section on the welcome page"

How It Works

1. Scope Identification: Determines what files/components to review
2. Parallel Dispatch: Launches independent agent tasks, each focused on one UI fundamentals section
3. Compilation: Aggregates findings into a prioritized action list
4. Summary: Produces executive summary with critical issues highlighted

Review Domains

Each parallel agent reviews against one of these UI design fundamentals sections:

Agent Prompt Template

Each agent receives this structured prompt:

Review the following files for **{DOMAIN}** compliance:

**Files to review:**
{FILE_LIST}

**Reference standard:**
.claude/skills/ui-design-fundamentals/{REFERENCE_FILE}

**Review criteria from {DOMAIN}:**
{CRITERIA_SUMMARY}

**Your task:**
1. Read each file and identify {DOMAIN}-related patterns
2. Compare against the reference standard
3. List issues found with:
   - Severity (Critical/Warning/Suggestion)
   - Location (file:line or component name)
   - Issue description
   - Recommended fix
4. Note any exemplary patterns worth preserving

**Output format:**

Smart Filtering

Not all domains apply to all code. The skill intelligently skips irrelevant domains:

Configuration Options

Optionally pass flags to customize the review:

# Focus on specific domains only
/review-ui resources/css/buttons.css --domains=buttons,colors,accessibility

# Skip certain domains
/review-ui resources/views/components/ --skip=pricing,hero

# Critical issues only
/review-ui resources/css/ --severity=critical

# Generate fix suggestions with code
/review-ui resources/css/ --with-fixes

Integration with Code Review

Use this skill before creating PRs:

1. Run /review-ui on changed files
2. Address critical issues
3. Document intentional deviations
4. Create PR with review results in description
