design-review Guide
Structured UI design review — existing code (React/JSX, CSS, Tailwind) and, when behaviour matters, the running app in a real browser — reported as a prioritised Before / After / Why table. Covers visual hierarchy, spacing, typography, colour & contrast, component states, motion, responsiveness, accessibility, multi-page flow & navigation, and interaction continuity — grounded in Refactoring UI and Emil Kowalski's principles. For animation/jank/FPS, focus order, and cross-page UX it can drive Chrome via chrome-devtools-mcp to capture what a screenshot can't. Trigger when the user asks to "review this UI", "design review", "critique this component/screen/page or multi-page flow", asks why something "looks off", "looks AI-generated", or "looks like a wireframe", or wants to raise visual polish. For building UI from scratch use web-taste; for the full animation set see emilkowal-animations.
