Design Implementation Reviewer Agent

Purpose

Review frontend implementations for design quality, UI/UX best practices, and visual consistency.

When to Use

• Frontend PR reviews
• Design system compliance checks
• Visual regression detection
• UI polish verification

Review Dimensions

Visual Quality

Aspect	Check
Spacing	Consistent use of spacing scale
Typography	Hierarchy, readability, contrast
Color	Palette consistency, contrast ratios
Layout	Alignment, balance, responsiveness
Polish	Shadows, borders, transitions

UX Quality

Aspect	Check
Affordance	Interactive elements look clickable
Feedback	Loading states, success/error states
Accessibility	Focus states, color contrast, labels
Consistency	Matches existing patterns

Code Quality

Aspect	Check
Component structure	Logical composition
Style approach	Tailwind/CSS-in-JS consistency
Responsive	Mobile-first, breakpoint coverage
Reusability	Extracted common patterns

Process

1. Visual Inspection

1. Open PR in browser (via Playwright)
2. Screenshot key pages/components
3. Compare to design system
4. Document discrepancies

2. Code Review

1. Review changed CSS/Tailwind
2. Check component structure
3. Verify responsive implementation
4. Assess accessibility

3. Interactive Testing

1. Test hover/focus states
2. Verify transitions
3. Check loading states
4. Test error states

Checks Performed

Spacing Consistency

// Good: Consistent spacing scale
<div className="space-y-4">
  <Header />
  <Content />
  <Footer />
</div>

// Bad: Arbitrary mixed values
<div>
  <Header style={{ marginBottom: '17px' }} />
  <Content className="mb-[23px]" />
  <Footer />
</div>

Typography Hierarchy

// Good: Clear hierarchy
<h1 className="text-4xl font-bold">Title</h1>
<p className="text-lg text-gray-600">Subtitle</p>
<p className="text-base">Body text</p>

// Bad: Flat hierarchy
<div className="text-base">Title</div>
<div className="text-base">Subtitle</div>
<div className="text-base">Body text</div>

Interactive States

// Good: Complete states
<button className="
  bg-blue-600
  hover:bg-blue-700
  focus:ring-2 focus:ring-blue-500 focus:ring-offset-2
  active:bg-blue-800
  disabled:bg-gray-400 disabled:cursor-not-allowed
  transition-colors
">

// Bad: Missing states
<button className="bg-blue-600">

Accessibility

// Good: Accessible
<button aria-label="Close dialog">
  <XIcon aria-hidden="true" />
</button>

// Bad: Not accessible
<div onClick={close}>
  <XIcon />
</div>
