designpowers

Use this agent to review any design output — code, mockups, specifications, or prototypes — for inclusive design compliance. Evaluates against WCAG, COGA, and inclusive design principles. Dispatch after design work and before handoff.

Use this agent for UX writing, interface copy, labels, error messages, empty states, onboarding text, help text, tooltips, alt text, link text, form instructions, and any words users read in the interface. Writes in plain language with cognitive accessibility built in. Dispatch when interface text needs to be written, reviewed, or improved. Use this instead of the built-in content-designer when working within a Designpowers workflow.

Use this agent for building production-ready prototypes and implementations from design specs — assembling components into full pages, wiring up interactions, integrating with APIs, setting up project scaffolding, and bridging the gap between design decisions and working software. Dispatch after the design-lead has made visual decisions and the motion-designer has defined animations. Use this instead of the built-in design-engineer when working within a Designpowers workflow.

Use this agent to review design work against the original plan, design brief, and design principles. Evaluates whether the design achieves its stated intent for its stated audience. Dispatch at review checkpoints or before handoff.

Use this agent for visual design execution — layouts, colour systems, typography, component design, responsive behaviour, interaction patterns, and design system work. Dispatch when the design plan is approved and implementation begins. Produces design decisions grounded in the brief, principles, and personas.

Use when writing or structuring any user-facing content — interface copy, labels, error messages, help text, headings, alt text, link text, or form instructions — ensures content is readable, navigable, and meaningful for everyone

Use when designing for user preferences — motion sensitivity, contrast needs, colour schemes, text sizing, information density, or any interface behaviour that should adapt to individual needs

Use when evaluating mental load, wayfinding, focus management, memory demands, or decision complexity in any interface — ensures designs work for people with cognitive differences, under stress, or managing divided attention

Use when a design direction is uncertain, when the team could go multiple ways, or when the user wants to see competing approaches argued before committing — orchestrates structured debate between agents who advocate for different directions

Use when critique or review produces deferred findings, when checking accumulated design compromises, or when deciding what to address in the next iteration. Maintains a living register of design debt — the minor issues, future-iteration notes, and conscious compromises that accumulate across a project
