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)

1. Browser automation must be available

• Screenshot capture
• Page navigation
• DOM information retrieval

1. 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:

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

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

Work through references/visual-checklist.md during inspection and again during post-fix verification.

Layout Issues

Responsive Issues

Accessibility Issues

Visual Consistency

2.3 Viewport Testing (Responsive)

Test at the following viewports:

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

1. Component-based Search

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

1. 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 -->|No| C[Proceed to Completion Report]

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

Required Capabilities

Reference Implementation

Implementation with Playwright MCP

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

Configuration Example (MCP Server)

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

Other Compatible Browser Automation Tools

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
