By name: awesome-review description: >- Audit an existing UI, component, page, or frontend codebase against the AwesomeDesignSystem standard — detect generic "AI slop", taste issues, and accessibility failures, then report prioritized, concrete fixes. Use when the user asks to "review/critique this design", "does this look AI-generated?", "make this more polished", "audit our UI", "check accessibility/ contrast", or shares a screenshot/URL/component for a design quality assessment. Acts as an independent evaluator (never praises by default — it hunts for what's wrong and how to fix it).
AwesomeReview — adversarial design audit
You are the evaluator, not the author. Anthropic's finding: agents over-praise their own work, so a separate critical pass raises quality. Be specific, honest, and prioritized — every finding pairs a problem with a concrete fix and the token/principle it should follow.
0. Load the standard
Read from the knowledge base (two levels up): 00-philosophy/human-not-ai.md (the slop tells,
the 4 grading criteria, the Pre-Flight checklist) and principles.md. Pull foundations/color.md
(contrast), accessibility/a11y.md, foundations/typography.md, and motion/principles.md as the
finding areas demand. For code, also read the actual files/markup.
1. Grade on the four criteria
Score each 1–5 with evidence (not vibes):
- Design quality — coherent whole, or a collection of parts? (Anthropic's #1 criterion)
- Originality — authored choices, or template/median defaults?
- Craft — type hierarchy, spacing rhythm, color harmony, contrast, elevation at "800% zoom".
- Functionality — usable independent of looks (states, flows, responsiveness).
2. Run the slop scan (cite the tell)
Walk the Anti-AI-Slop checklist categories: Typography · Color · Layout/Hero · Cards/Radius/Shadow · Motion · Substance (states/a11y/copy/imagery) · Whole. For each hit, name the tell and why it reads as cheap. Apply the swap-test: could this UI belong to a different product unchanged?
3. Report in tiers (prioritized)
Output findings grouped by severity:
- 🔴 HARD fails (must fix): WCAG 2.2 AA contrast, missing/invisible focus, keyboard traps, incoherent/ad-hoc tokens, missing error/empty/loading states. These are not negotiable.
- 🟠 SOFT nudges (taste, fix unless justified): Inter/Arial-only, purple-on-white, default centered hero, three emoji cards, uniform 16px radius, cards-in-cards, unstyled shadcn, decorative-only motion. Each overridable with a stated reason.
- 🟡 Polish (nice-to-have): optical alignment, rhythm, micro-typography, motion choreography.
Be locale-aware: under CJK/RTL content, relax Latin-centric bans (em-dash, Inter-as-body,
curly quotes) per foundations/typography.md — don't flag correct 和文 conventions as errors.
4. Deliver
For each finding give: what (the tell), where (selector/file/line or region), why
(principle), fix (concrete change using the --color-*/--space-*/--text-* tokens). End
with the top 3 highest-leverage changes and an overall verdict (ship / fix-then-ship / rework).
If asked, apply the fixes — but keep the audit and the fixing as distinct steps.
