Usage
/design-critique $ARGUMENTS
Review the design: @$1
If a Figma URL is provided, pull the design from Figma. If a file is referenced, read it. Otherwise, ask the user to describe or share their design.
What I Need From You
- The design: Figma URL, screenshot, or detailed description
- Context: What is this? Who is it for? What stage (exploration, refinement, final)?
- Focus (optional): "Focus on mobile" or "Focus on the onboarding flow"
Critique Framework
1. First Impression (2 seconds)
- What draws the eye first? Is that correct?
- What's the emotional reaction?
- Is the purpose immediately clear?
2. Usability
- Can the user accomplish their goal?
- Is the navigation intuitive?
- Are interactive elements obvious?
- Are there unnecessary steps?
3. Visual Hierarchy
- Is there a clear reading order?
- Are the right elements emphasized?
- Is whitespace used effectively?
- Is typography creating the right hierarchy?
4. Consistency
- Does it follow the design system?
- Are spacing, colors, and typography consistent?
- Do similar elements behave similarly?
5. Accessibility
- Color contrast ratios
- Touch target sizes
- Text readability
- Alternative text for images
How to Give Feedback
- Be specific: "The CTA competes with the navigation" not "the layout is confusing"
- Explain why: Connect feedback to design principles or user needs
- Suggest alternatives: Don't just identify problems, propose solutions
- Acknowledge what works: Good feedback includes positive observations
- Match the stage: Early exploration gets different feedback than final polish

If Connectors Available
If ~~design tool is connected:
- Pull the design directly from Figma and inspect components, tokens, and layers
- Compare against the existing design system for consistency
If ~~user feedback is connected:
- Cross-reference design decisions with recent user feedback and support tickets
Tips
- Share the context — "This is a checkout flow for a B2B SaaS" helps me give relevant feedback.
- Specify your stage — Early exploration gets different feedback than final polish.
- Ask me to focus — "Just look at the navigation" gives you more depth on one area.

Reads a forwarded customer email or ticket, pulls order/refund status from PayPal and account history from HubSpot, drafts a tone-matched reply in the owner's writing voice, and can issue a PayPal refund with explicit owner approval. Use when the user says "draft a response," "answer this customer," "where's my order," or "I want a refund."

Prepares tax-season materials for small business owners — framed as deliverables for their accountant, not tax advice. Two modes: (1) quarterly estimated tax calculation — pulls YTD net income from QuickBooks and calculates the federal income tax + self-employment tax liability and quarterly payment due; (2) year-end 1099 prep — scans QuickBooks, PayPal, and Stripe for contractors paid over $600, builds a 1099-NEC candidate list with missing W-9 flags, and produces a plain-English summary a CPA can work from directly. Trigger this skill whenever the user mentions: quarterly taxes, estimated tax payment, how much to set aside for taxes, 1099s, 1099-NEC, year-end tax prep, contractor payments, W-9s, or any phrase suggesting they are preparing for a tax deadline or handing materials to an accountant. Also trigger proactively when a user asks about net profit or YTD income in a context that suggests they are worried about their tax bill.

The front door to the Small Business plugin. Listens to what the owner needs right now — vague or specific — and routes them to the best skill or slash command for the moment. Also serves as a guide: explains what's available, suggests what to try next, and adapts recommendations based on stored business context. Trigger whenever the owner asks "what can you do," "help me with my business," "what should I focus on," "I don't know where to start," or any open-ended business request that doesn't clearly match a single skill.
