Review Type Modifiers

Adjust focus based on review context:

  • Check: Proper imports, design tokens used (not hardcoded), ARIA attributes present
  • Verify: Component matches Figma specs using Dev Mode

Creative Frontend Review

  • Focus: Aesthetic direction, typography choices, visual distinctiveness, motion design
  • Check: Clear conceptual intent, avoiding generic AI patterns, cohesive execution
  • Verify: Implementation complexity matches vision (maximalist needs elaborate code, minimalist needs precision)

Design Review

  • Focus: User flows, interaction patterns, visual hierarchy, navigation, design system alignment
  • Check: Task completion path, action hierarchy, progressive disclosure
  • Verify: All components exist in design system or have documented exceptions

Accessibility Audit

Design System Compliance Audit

  • Focus: Deep dive design system usage
  • Check: All components match Figma specs, design tokens used throughout, no hardcoded values
  • Test: Compare implementation side-by-side with Figma using Dev Mode
  • Verify: Component variants, spacing, colors, typography all match design system
  • Document: Any deviations with rationale and plan to align
