OSS Evaluation - Phase 10: UI Integration Analysis

Command: /oss-eval:ui

Purpose

Assess how each candidate integrates with existing or planned user interfaces, including component libraries, theming, accessibility, and frontend build pipelines.

Prerequisites

• Phase 9 (Gap Mitigation) completed
• Understanding of existing/planned UI architecture

Required Skills

## Recommendations

### Best UI Integration
<candidate with strongest UI story>

### Integration Considerations
<specific items to address during implementation>

### UI Blockers
<any candidates with fundamental UI issues>

Bias Prevention Checkpoints

Before completing this phase, verify:

• Current Data: UI capabilities verified via current documentation
• Consistent Criteria: Same UI dimensions evaluated for all candidates
• Evidence-Based: Integration claims verified, not assumed
• Realistic Effort: Integration effort based on actual complexity
• Accessibility Verified: A11y claims tested or documented

Phase Completion

Update .oss-eval/config.json:

{
  "phases": {
    "10": { "status": "completed", "completedAt": "<timestamp>" }
  },
  "currentPhase": 11
}

Next Step

Phase 10 Complete: UI integration analysis finalized.
