Web Design Reviewer

This skill enables visual inspection and validation of website design quality, identifying and fixing issues at the source code level.

Scope of Application

• Static sites (HTML/CSS/JS)
• SPA frameworks such as React / Vue / Angular / Svelte
• Full-stack frameworks such as Next.js / Nuxt / SvelteKit
• CMS platforms such as WordPress / Drupal
• Any other web application

Prerequisites

Required

1. Target website must be running

   • Local development server (e.g., http://localhost:3000)
   • Staging environment
   • Production environment (for read-only reviews)

2. Browser automation must be available

   • Screenshot capture
   • Page navigation
   • DOM information retrieval

3. Access to source code (when making fixes)

   • Project must exist within the workspace

Step 1: Information Gathering Phase

1.1 URL Confirmation

If the URL is not provided, ask the user:

Please provide the URL of the website to review (e.g., http://localhost:3000)

1.2 Understanding Project Structure

When making fixes, gather the following information:

| Item | Example Question | |------|------------------| | Framework | Are you using React / Vue / Next.js, etc.? | | Styling Method | CSS / SCSS / Tailwind / CSS-in-JS, etc. | | Source Location | Where are style files and components located? | | Review Scope | Specific pages only or entire site? |

1.3 Automatic Project Detection

Attempt automatic detection from files in the workspace:

Detection targets:
├── package.json     → Framework and dependencies
├── tsconfig.json    → TypeScript usage
├── tailwind.config  → Tailwind CSS
├── next.config      → Next.js
├── vite.config      → Vite
├── nuxt.config      → Nuxt
└── src/ or app/     → Source directory

1.4 Identifying Styling Method

| Method | Detection | Edit Target | |--------|-----------|-------------| | Pure CSS | *.css files | Global CSS or component CSS | | SCSS/Sass | *.scss, *.sass | SCSS files | | CSS Modules | *.module.css | Module CSS files | | Tailwind CSS | tailwind.config.* | className in components | | styled-components | styled. in code | JS/TS files | | Emotion | @emotion/ imports | JS/TS files | | CSS-in-JS (other) | Inline styles | JS/TS files |

Step 2: Visual Inspection Phase

2.1 Page Traversal

1. Navigate to the specified URL
2. Capture screenshots
3. Retrieve DOM structure/snapshot (if possible)
4. If additional pages exist, traverse through navigation

2.2 Inspection Items

Layout Issues

| Issue | Description | Severity | |-------|-------------|----------| | Element Overflow | Content overflows from parent element or viewport | High | | Element Overlap | Unintended overlapping of elements | High | | Alignment Issues | Grid or flex alignment problems | Medium | | Inconsistent Spacing | Padding/margin inconsistencies | Medium | | Text Clipping | Long text not handled properly | Medium |

Responsive Issues

| Issue | Description | Severity | |-------|-------------|----------| | Non-mobile Friendly | Layout breaks on small screens | High | | Breakpoint Issues | Unnatural transitions when screen size changes | Medium | | Touch Targets | Buttons too small on mobile | Medium |

Accessibility Issues

| Issue | Description | Severity | |-------|-------------|----------| | Insufficient Contrast | Low contrast ratio between text and background | High | | No Focus State | Cannot determine state during keyboard navigation | High | | Missing alt Text | No alternative text for images | Medium |

Visual Consistency

| Issue | Description | Severity | |-------|-------------|----------| | Font Inconsistency | Mixed font families | Medium | | Color Inconsistency | Non-unified brand colors | Medium | | Spacing Inconsistency | Non-uniform spacing between similar elements | Low |

2.3 Viewport Testing (Responsive)

Test at the following viewports:

| Name | Width | Representative Device | |------|-------|----------------------| | Mobile | 375px | iPhone SE/12 mini | | Tablet | 768px | iPad | | Desktop | 1280px | Standard PC | | Wide | 1920px | Large display |

Step 3: Issue Fixing Phase

3.1 Issue Prioritization

block-beta
    columns 1
    block:priority["Priority Matrix"]
        P1["P1: Fix Immediately\n(Layout issues affecting functionality)"]
        P2["P2: Fix Next\n(Visual issues degrading UX)"]
        P3["P3: Fix If Possible\n(Minor visual inconsistencies)"]
    end

3.2 Identifying Source Files

Identify source files from problematic elements:

1. Selector-based Search

   • Search codebase by class name or ID
   • Explore style definitions with grep_search

2. Component-based Search

   • Identify components from element text or structure
   • Explore related files with semantic_search

3. File Pattern Filtering

   Style files: src/**/*.css, styles/**/*
   Components: src/components/**/*
   Pages: src/pages/**, app/**
   

3.3 Applying Fixes

Framework-specific Fix Guidelines

See references/framework-fixes.md for details.

Fix Principles

1. Minimal Changes: Only make the minimum changes necessary to resolve the issue
2. Respect Existing Patterns: Follow existing code style in the project
3. Avoid Breaking Changes: Be careful not to affect other areas
4. Add Comments: Add comments to explain the reason for fixes where appropriate

---

Step 4: Re-verification Phase

4.1 Post-fix Confirmation

1. Reload browser (or wait for development server HMR)
2. Capture screenshots of fixed areas
3. Compare before and after

4.2 Regression Testing

• Verify that fixes haven't affected other areas
• Confirm responsive display is not broken

4.3 Iteration Decision

    A{Issues Remaining?}
    A -->|Yes| B[Return to Step 2]
    A -->|No| C[Proceed to Completion Report]

Iteration Limit: If more than 3 fix attempts are needed for a specific issue, consult the user

Reference Implementation

Implementation with Playwright MCP

Playwright MCP is recommended as the reference implementation for this skill.

| Capability | Playwright MCP Tool | Purpose | |------------|---------------------|---------| | Navigation | browser_navigate | Access URLs | | Snapshot | browser_snapshot | Retrieve DOM structure | | Screenshot | browser_take_screenshot | Images for visual inspection | | Click | browser_click | Interact with interactive elements | | Resize | browser_resize | Responsive testing | | Console | browser_console_messages | Detect JS errors |

Configuration Example (MCP Server)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "playwright": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@playwright/mcp@latest", "--caps=vision"]
    }
  }
}

Other Compatible Browser Automation Tools

| Tool | Features | |------|----------| | Selenium | Broad browser support, multi-language support | | Puppeteer | Chrome/Chromium focused, Node.js | | Cypress | Easy integration with E2E testing | | WebDriver BiDi | Standardized next-generation protocol |

The same workflow can be implemented with these tools. As long as they provide the necessary capabilities (navigation, screenshot, DOM retrieval), the choice of tool is flexible.

Best Practices

DO (Recommended)

• ✅ Always save screenshots before making fixes
• ✅ Fix one issue at a time and verify each
• ✅ Follow the project's existing code style
• ✅ Confirm with user before major changes
• ✅ Document fix details thoroughly

DON'T (Not Recommended)

• ❌ Large-scale refactoring without confirmation
• ❌ Ignoring design systems or brand guidelines
• ❌ Fixes that ignore performance
• ❌ Fixing multiple issues at once (difficult to verify)

Troubleshooting

Problem: Style files not found

1. Check dependencies in package.json
2. Consider the possibility of CSS-in-JS
3. Consider CSS generated at build time
4. Ask user about styling method

Problem: Fixes not reflected

1. Check if development server HMR is working
2. Clear browser cache
3. Rebuild if project requires build
4. Check CSS specificity issues

Problem: Fixes affecting other areas

1. Rollback changes
2. Use more specific selectors
3. Consider using CSS Modules or scoped styles
4. Consult user to confirm impact scope
