Run systematic quality checks and generate a comprehensive audit report with prioritized issues and actionable recommendations. Don't fix issues - document them for other commands to address.
First: Use the frontend-design skill for design principles and anti-patterns.
Diagnostic Scan
Run comprehensive checks across multiple dimensions:
Accessibility (A11y) - Check for:
-
Contrast issues: Text contrast ratios < 4.5:1 (or 7:1 for AAA)
-
Missing ARIA: Interactive elements without proper roles, labels, or states
-
Keyboard navigation: Missing focus indicators, illogical tab order, keyboard traps
-
Semantic HTML: Improper heading hierarchy, missing landmarks, divs instead of buttons
-
Alt text: Missing or poor image descriptions
-
Form issues: Inputs without labels, poor error messaging, missing required indicators
Performance - Check for:
-
Layout thrashing: Reading/writing layout properties in loops
-
Expensive animations: Animating layout properties (width, height, top, left) instead of transform/opacity
-
Missing optimization: Images without lazy loading, unoptimized assets, missing will-change
-
Bundle size: Unnecessary imports, unused dependencies
-
Render performance: Unnecessary re-renders, missing memoization
Theming - Check for:
-
Hard-coded colors: Colors not using design tokens
-
Broken dark mode: Missing dark mode variants, poor contrast in dark theme
-
Inconsistent tokens: Using wrong tokens, mixing token types
-
Theme switching issues: Values that don't update on theme change
Responsive Design - Check for:
-
Fixed widths: Hard-coded widths that break on mobile
-
Touch targets: Interactive elements < 44x44px
-
Horizontal scroll: Content overflow on narrow viewports
-
Text scaling: Layouts that break when text size increases
-
Missing breakpoints: No mobile/tablet variants
Anti-Patterns (CRITICAL) - Check against ALL the DON'T guidelines in the frontend-design skill. Look for AI slop tells (AI color palette, gradient text, glassmorphism, hero metrics, card grids, generic fonts) and general design anti-patterns (gray on color, nested cards, bounce easing, redundant copy).
CRITICAL: This is an audit, not a fix. Document issues thoroughly with clear explanations of impact. Use other commands (normalize, optimize, harden, etc.) to fix issues after audit.
Generate Comprehensive Report
Create a detailed audit report with the following structure:
Anti-Patterns Verdict
Start here. Pass/fail: Does this look AI-generated? List specific tells from the skill's Anti-Patterns section. Be brutally honest.
Executive Summary
-
Total issues found (count by severity)
-
Most critical issues (top 3-5)
-
Overall quality score (if applicable)
-
Recommended next steps
Detailed Findings by Severity
For each issue, document:
-
Location: Where the issue occurs (component, file, line)
-
Severity: Critical / High / Medium / Low
-
Category: Accessibility / Performance / Theming / Responsive
-
Description: What the issue is
-
Impact: How it affects users
-
WCAG/Standard: Which standard it violates (if applicable)
-
Recommendation: How to fix it
-
Suggested command: Which command to use (prefer: /animate, /quieter, /optimize, /adapt, /clarify, /distill, /delight, /onboard, /normalize, /audit, /harden, /polish, /extract, /bolder, /critique, /colorize — or other installed skills you're sure exist)
Critical Issues
[Issues that block core functionality or violate WCAG A]
High-Severity Issues
[Significant usability/accessibility impact, WCAG AA violations]
Medium-Severity Issues
[Quality issues, WCAG AAA violations, performance concerns]
Low-Severity Issues
[Minor inconsistencies, optimization opportunities]
Patterns & Systemic Issues
Identify recurring problems:
-
"Hard-coded colors appear in 15+ components, should use design tokens"
-
"Touch targets consistently too small (<44px) throughout mobile experience"
-
"Missing focus indicators on all custom interactive components"
Positive Findings
Note what's working well:
-
Good practices to maintain
-
Exemplary implementations to replicate elsewhere
Recommendations by Priority
Create actionable plan:
-
Immediate: Critical blockers to fix first
-
Short-term: High-severity issues (this sprint)
-
Medium-term: Quality improvements (next sprint)
-
Long-term: Nice-to-haves and optimizations
Suggested Commands for Fixes
Map issues to available commands. Prefer these: /animate, /quieter, /optimize, /adapt, /clarify, /distill, /delight, /onboard, /normalize, /audit, /harden, /polish, /extract, /bolder, /critique, /colorize. You may also suggest other installed skills you're sure exist, but never invent commands.
Examples:
-
"Use /normalize to align with design system (addresses N theming issues)"
-
"Use /optimize to improve performance (addresses N performance issues)"
-
"Use /harden to improve resilience (addresses N edge cases)"
IMPORTANT: Be thorough but actionable. Too many low-priority issues creates noise. Focus on what actually matters.
NEVER:
-
Report issues without explaining impact (why does this matter?)
-
Mix severity levels inconsistently
-
Skip positive findings (celebrate what works)
-
Provide generic recommendations (be specific and actionable)
-
Forget to prioritize (everything can't be critical)
-
Report false positives without verification
Remember: You're a quality auditor with exceptional attention to detail. Document systematically, prioritize ruthlessly, and provide clear paths to improvement. A good audit makes fixing easy.
