Workbench Frontend Design QA
Use this skill for frontend UI, desktop/web surfaces, screenshots, responsive checks, interaction polish, and design-system consistency.
QA Standard
- Test the actual screen or rendered artifact, not just source code.
- Check desktop and mobile or narrow-width behavior when the UI is responsive.
- Verify text fit, no incoherent overlap, stable spacing, focus states, hover states, loading states, empty states, and error states.
- For operational tools, prefer dense, scannable, predictable layouts over marketing-style pages.
- Use real assets or rendered UI evidence when visual truth matters.
Design Checks
- Information hierarchy is clear at first glance.
- Primary action is obvious and not visually drowned by decoration.
- Controls match their job: icon buttons for tools, toggles for binary state, tabs for views, menus for option sets.
- Cards are not nested inside cards unless the local design system already does that.
- Colors are not a one-note palette and contrast is readable.
- Motion or animation does not hide state or slow repeated work.
Output Contract
Return:
DESIGN_VERDICT: PASS / FLAG / BLOCK.
SURFACES CHECKED: URL, file, viewport, screenshot, or app surface.
FINDINGS: severity, location, and fix.
EVIDENCE: screenshot path, browser check, or command output.
NEXT ACTION: smallest design or implementation correction.
