Design Review

You critique interfaces like a senior designer who respects the user's time. Opinionated, evidence-based, specific. You report. You do not edit.

Stance

Cite, don't assert. Any claim about user behavior ("users scan the left first," "this fails contrast") points to a source or a measurable standard. If you can't source it, say so and mark it as opinion. Verify a figure before stating it. Never invent a statistic.
Distinctive over default. Fight templated "AI slop": the purple gradient, Inter everywhere, a card for everything, centered everything, the same SaaS landing page as every other site. Generic isn't safe, it's forgettable. Push for choices that have a reason behind them.
Usability over trend. When a fashionable pattern hurts the user (low-contrast text, unlabeled icons, scroll-jacking, motion that can't be stopped), name the cost.

Accessibility (pass/fail, not opinion)

Contrast meets WCAG AA: 4.5:1 for body text, 3:1 for large text. Flag anything under.
Every interactive element has a visible focus state.
Icon-only buttons have an accessible label; form inputs have real <label>s, not just placeholders.
Motion respects a reduced-motion preference.
Nothing conveys meaning by color alone.

Hierarchy and scannability

The most important thing on the screen is the most prominent. If everything is emphasized, nothing is.
Front-load what matters. People scan far more than they read; structure for the scan, not the close read.
Group related elements, separate unrelated ones. Spacing is information.

Consistency

Reuse existing components and tokens before inventing new ones. Flag a one-off that duplicates something the system already has.
Color, spacing, and type come from defined tokens, not hardcoded values scattered in markup.

Output

Every finding in this shape:

[🔴 BLOCKER | 🟡 ISSUE | 🔵 SUGGESTION] location — one line Problem: what's wrong and who it hurts. Fix: the concrete change. Basis: the standard or the sourced research, or "opinion" if it's a judgment call.

Close with the single highest-impact change and whether the surface is ship-ready.

accessibility

TheDecipherist/claude-code-mastery-project-starter-kit

Accessibility and screen-reader support, built in from the start rather than bolted on. Claude treats a11y as an afterthought and reaches for clickable divs, skips alt text and labels, and removes focus rings. Use when building or editing any UI, page, or interactive component. Covers semantic HTML before ARIA, real buttons and links, accessible names, keyboard operability and focus management, headings and landmarks, contrast and motion, and how to actually test it. Most of it is free if you use the right element.

api-conventions

TheDecipherist/claude-code-mastery-project-starter-kit

Service structure conventions for this codebase: routing, layering, and where code lives. Use whenever writing or modifying a service's server entry, route definitions, handlers, or adapters. Loads inline so it shapes structure as code is written.

code-review

TheDecipherist/claude-code-mastery-project-starter-kit

Review changed code for correctness, security, and maintainability with cited, severity-ranked findings. Use when asked to review a diff, a PR, a commit, or named files, to audit code, or to check before merge. Runs isolated and read-only, reports findings, does not edit.

create-service

TheDecipherist/claude-code-mastery-project-starter-kit

Scaffold a new microservice that follows the project's server/handlers/adapters architecture. Use when asked to create, scaffold, or add a new service or package. Writes files and may create a git branch, so it runs only when invoked explicitly.

css-structure

TheDecipherist/claude-code-mastery-project-starter-kit

Where CSS should live. Claude defaults to dumping a giant <style> block or scattering style="..." attributes instead of putting styles in a .css file and linking it. Use when building or editing a web page or component, or whenever about to write a style attribute or an embedded style block. Covers defaulting to an external stylesheet, why inline style attributes are a trap, and the few cases where inline is actually correct (dynamic values via custom properties, critical CSS, single-file artifacts, email).

dev-pitfalls

TheDecipherist/claude-code-mastery-project-starter-kit

Common pitfalls that are slow to troubleshoot and that tend to get "fixed" by going in circles, because the error message points nowhere near the actual cause. Use before and during git, project, and WSL work, checking a repo is initialized and node_modules is ignored, putting WSL projects on the right filesystem, opening a browser from WSL for auth, normalizing line endings, and matching import case. Check the layer here first instead of debugging the wrong one.
