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
Workflow Overview
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:
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
Work through [references/visual checklist.md](references/visual checklist.md) during inspection and again during post fix verification.
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
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
3.3 Applying Fixes
Framework specific Fix Guidelines
See [references/framework fixes.md](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
Iteration Limit : If more than 3 fix attempts are needed for a specific issue, consult the user
Output Format
Review Results Report
Required Capabilities

Reference Implementation
Implementation with Playwright MCP
[Playwright MCP](https://github.com/microsoft/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)
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
