Sync local test cases, templates, and functions with Shiplight cloud. Manage test runs, environments, folders, suites, and accounts.
Triage failing E2E tests: reproduce failures, diagnose root causes, fix test issues in YAML, and report application bugs — with batch healing and concurrent browser investigation.
Spec-driven E2E test creation: plan what to test through structured discovery phases, then scaffold a local Shiplight test project and write YAML tests by walking through the app in a browser.
Verify UI changes in the browser using Shiplight MCP tools.
Compliance review and testing: evaluate your application against HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, and GDPR technical requirements with browser-based validation and YAML regression tests for continuous compliance.
Generative Engine Optimization review: evaluate your content's visibility to AI-powered search engines — citation-worthiness, content structure, authority signals, llms.txt, entity clarity, and AI retrieval readiness.

| description | UI and design review: evaluate visual quality, responsive behavior, accessibility, color/contrast, typography, layout consistency, and i18n readiness using browser-based validation against industrial standards. |
Evaluate your application's visual quality and usability against established design standards. This review catches issues that typically require a trained designer's eye — responsive breakpoints, accessibility compliance, visual hierarchy, spacing consistency, and internationalization readiness.
Use /shiplight:design-review when:
Phase 1: EDUCATE → Brief context on what we check and why
Phase 2: SCOPE → Identify pages, breakpoints, and focus areas
Phase 3: ANALYZE → Browser-based checks with evidence capture
Phase 4: REPORT → Findings with screenshots, scores, confidence
Phase 5: REMEDIATE → Fix guidance + YAML regression tests
Why this matters: 94% of first impressions are design-related. Poor visual quality erodes trust even when functionality is correct. Accessibility issues affect 15-20% of users and carry legal risk (ADA lawsuits increased 300% since 2018).
This review checks your app against objective, measurable design criteria — not subjective taste. Every finding references a specific standard.

Define breakpoints to test:
Open a browser session with new_session using record_evidence: true. For each page in scope, run the following check categories.
| Check ID | Check | Standard | Method |
|---|---|---|---|
| RES-01 | Viewport meta tag present | Mobile best practice | Inspect <meta name="viewport"> |
| RES-02 | No horizontal overflow at any breakpoint | Responsive design | Resize viewport, check for horizontal scrollbar |
| RES-03 | Touch targets ≥ 48x48px on mobile | WCAG 2.5.8 / Material Design | Measure interactive element sizes at mobile breakpoint |
| RES-04 | Text remains readable without zoom at 375px | WCAG 1.4.4 | Check font sizes ≥ 16px for body text on mobile |
| RES-05 | Navigation is accessible at all breakpoints | Usability | Verify nav collapses/adapts, hamburger menu works |
| RES-06 | Images scale appropriately | Responsive images | Check for srcset/sizes or CSS containment |
| RES-07 | No content truncation without indication | Usability | Check text overflow, ellipsis with tooltip or expand |
| RES-08 | Form inputs are usable on mobile | Usability | Check input sizes, proper input types (tel, email) |
Browser validation: For each breakpoint, use act to resize the viewport, then inspect_page to capture DOM and screenshot. Check for overflow elements, measure sizes via JavaScript.
| Check ID | Check | Standard | Method |
|---|---|---|---|
| A11Y-01 | Color contrast ratio ≥ 4.5:1 (normal text) | WCAG 1.4.3 AA | Extract computed colors, calculate ratio |
| A11Y-02 | Color contrast ratio ≥ 3:1 (large text ≥ 18pt) | WCAG 1.4.3 AA | Same as above for large text |
| A11Y-03 | All images have alt text | WCAG 1.1.1 | Check <img> elements for alt attribute |
| A11Y-04 | Form inputs have associated labels | WCAG 1.3.1 | Check <label for=""> or aria-label |
| A11Y-05 | Heading hierarchy is logical (h1→h2→h3) | WCAG 1.3.1 | Extract heading levels, check sequence |
| A11Y-06 | Focus is visible on all interactive elements | WCAG 2.4.7 | Tab through elements, check focus ring visibility |
| A11Y-07 | Keyboard navigation works (Tab, Enter, Escape) | WCAG 2.1.1 | Navigate entire page via keyboard |
| A11Y-08 | Skip navigation link present | WCAG 2.4.1 | Check for skip-to-content link |
| A11Y-09 | ARIA roles used correctly | WCAG 4.1.2 | Check for misused/redundant ARIA |
| A11Y-10 | Page has lang attribute | WCAG 3.1.1 | Check <html lang=""> |
| A11Y-11 | Modal focus trapping works | WCAG 2.4.3 | Open modal, verify Tab stays within |
| A11Y-12 | Error messages are associated with inputs | WCAG 3.3.1 | Check aria-describedby or aria-errormessage |
| A11Y-13 | Reduced motion respected | WCAG 2.3.3 | Check for prefers-reduced-motion media query |
| A11Y-14 | No seizure-inducing content (>3 flashes/sec) | WCAG 2.3.1 | Visual inspection of animations |
Browser validation: Use inspect_page to extract the DOM. Run JavaScript via act to compute contrast ratios, check ARIA attributes, extract heading hierarchy. Use keyboard navigation (Tab, Enter, Escape) to test focus management.
| Check ID | Check | Standard | Method |
|---|---|---|---|
| VIS-01 | Consistent spacing scale | Design systems | Extract margins/paddings, check for consistent scale (4px/8px grid) |
| VIS-02 | Typography scale is consistent | Typographic hierarchy | Extract font sizes, check for consistent ratio/scale |
| VIS-03 | Color palette is limited and intentional | Design best practice | Extract all used colors, flag if >10 unique non-gray colors |
| VIS-04 | Interactive elements have consistent styling | Consistency | Compare button styles, link styles across pages |
| VIS-05 | Alignment grid is consistent | Layout | Check for misaligned elements that break the visual grid |
| VIS-06 | Loading states exist for async operations | UX best practice | Trigger async actions, verify loading indicators |
| VIS-07 | Empty states are handled | UX best practice | Navigate to pages with no data, check for meaningful empty states |
| VIS-08 | Error states are styled consistently | UX best practice | Trigger validation errors, check styling |
| VIS-09 | Dark mode consistency (if applicable) | Design systems | Toggle dark mode, check for un-themed elements |
Browser validation: Use JavaScript to extract computed styles, compare across elements and pages. Screenshot comparison between pages for visual consistency.
| Check ID | Check | Standard | Method |
|---|---|---|---|
| TYP-01 | Body text 16-20px | Readability research | Extract computed font-size |
| TYP-02 | Line height 1.4-1.6 for body text | Readability | Extract computed line-height |
| TYP-03 | Line length 45-75 characters | Readability (Bringhurst) | Measure character count per line |
| TYP-04 | Font loading strategy (FOUT/FOIT prevention) | Web performance | Check font-display CSS, preload hints |
| TYP-05 | Sufficient hierarchy levels (≥3 distinct sizes) | Typography | Extract and count distinct heading sizes |
| TYP-06 | Text is left-aligned (not justified) for body | Readability | Check text-align for body paragraphs |
| Check ID | Check | Standard | Method |
|---|---|---|---|
| I18N-01 | No hardcoded strings in components | i18n best practice | Scan source code for string literals in JSX/templates |
| I18N-02 | Layout handles text expansion (+30%) | i18n design | Inject longer text strings, check for overflow |
| I18N-03 | RTL layout support (if applicable) | i18n | Toggle dir="rtl", check layout adaptation |
| I18N-04 | Date/number formatting uses locale | i18n | Check for hardcoded date/number formats |
