figma-design-review

name	figma-design-review
description	Runs a structured PM design review against product requirements. Use when asked to review a Figma design, check a design against requirements, or assess whether a design meets the product spec. Produces a requirements coverage check, UX concerns, open questions, and an explicit approval status — approved, approved with conditions, or not approved.

Figma Design Review Skill

Runs a structured PM design review — checking that a design meets product requirements, covers all user flows, and is ready for engineering. This is a requirements-and-outcomes review, not an aesthetic critique.

Required Inputs

• Design description or screen summary
• Original requirements (PRD snippet, ticket, or acceptance criteria)
• User flow being designed
• Review stage (concept / mid-fidelity / pre-handoff final)

Output Structure

1. Review Header

Feature, review stage, reviewed by, date. Overall status: Approved / Approved with changes / Needs revision

2. Requirements Coverage Check

Requirement	Covered?	Notes
[Requirement from PRD]	Yes/No/Partial	[Specific observation]

Missing coverage summary: [Requirements not addressed — must resolve before approval]

3. User Flow Completeness

Flow step	Designed?	Issues
[Step]	Yes/No/Partial	[Issue]
Error state	Yes/No
Empty state	Yes/No
Loading state	Yes/No

4. PM Concerns

[Concern] — Blocking / Should fix / Nice to fix

• What: [Specific observation]
• Why it matters: [Business or user impact — not aesthetic preference]
• Suggested resolution: [What PM wants to see]

5. Open Questions

Question	Owner	Needed by
[Question]	Designer/Eng/PM	[Date]

6. Approval Decision

Approved / Approved with changes (list) / Needs revision (focus area + next review date)

Quality Checks

• Every requirement assessed
• All flow states checked (error, empty, loading)
• Concerns are outcome-focused not aesthetic
• Open questions have owners
• Approval status is explicit

Anti-Patterns

• Do not review a design without a list of requirements to check against — always ask for the PRD, design brief, or acceptance criteria first
• Do not give a vague approval status — the decision must be explicitly "approved", "approved with conditions", or "not approved"
• Do not conflate requirements gaps with UX concerns — track them separately so engineers and designers can act independently
• Do not raise concerns without suggesting what information is needed to resolve them
• Do not skip open questions — unresolved assumptions at review time become bugs after engineering handoff

Example Trigger Phrases

• "Review this Figma design against the requirements"
• "Do a PM design review for [feature]"
• "Check if this design meets the product spec"
• "Is this design ready to hand off to engineering?"
• "What is missing from this design before we can build it?"
