Design Review: AI Skill for UX Design
Design Review is an AI skill that turns your assistant into a UX review orchestrator. It reads the context once, runs the audit lenses that matter, skips the ones that don't, and returns one prioritized report.

What this skill does
Gives an AI assistant a complete design review process instead of a flat "looks good" or a pile of unrelated audits.
- Establishes the context once: design system, platform, and the user's primary task.
- Auto-runs the lenses that almost always earn their keep: usability heuristics, microcopy, and dark patterns.
- Offers the context-dependent lenses instead of firing everything at once.
- Skips the lenses your design system already owns, and says so out loud.
- De-duplicates findings that multiple lenses flag.
- Merges everything into one severity-ordered report with the top three priorities.
When to use it
Use it when you need an AI assistant to:
- run a full design review of a screen, flow, or component;
- answer "is this good UX?" with a framework, not a feeling;
- review AI-generated UI before it ships;
- give design feedback without running seven separate audits;
- review work built on a design system without re-auditing the tokens;
- rank design issues by severity across usability, copy, and ethics.
Lenses this workflow runs
| Lens | When it runs |
|---|---|
| Heuristics audit | Always, on any interactive UI |
| Microcopy audit | Always, when there is user-facing copy |
| Dark patterns audit | Always, on conversion, pricing, or opt-in surfaces |
| Accessibility audit | Offered; narrowed to usage checks under a design system |
| Aesthetics audit | Offered; skipped when a design system owns the visuals |
| Information architecture audit | Offered for multi-screen or structured content |
| Mobile responsiveness audit | Offered when the work targets mobile |
How the skill works
1
Establish the context profile
The skill checks for a design system, notes the platform, and identifies the user's primary task.
2
Run and offer lenses
It auto-runs heuristics, microcopy, and dark-pattern checks, then offers the lenses that depend on context.
3
Merge one prioritized report
It de-duplicates findings across lenses and returns a single severity-ordered list with the top three priorities.
