What it does

UI Design Review is an agent skill from jayminwest/warren. Independent design review of a warren web-UI change. Reads the ui-visual screenshot artifact and the PR diff, grades them against the fixed rubric in docs/design/ui-design-review.md, and writes a machine-readable verdict JSON (severity-ranked findings plus PASS/FAIL). Read-only - never edits code. Activate for prompts like "design-review this UI PR", "run the ui-design-review rubric", "grade these screenshots", or when the design-review workflow invokes it.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering UI design, Quizzes and assessments and Design review and critique. It works with Git. The repository describes itself as: Run coding agents like infrastructure, not terminal sessions. Warren manages isolation, lifecycle, spend, recovery, and Git delivery on compute you control. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9595340. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git
    • bun

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

UI Design Review loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 120 tokens; SKILL.md has 923 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~120
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Independent design review of a warren web-UI change. Reads the ui-visual screenshot artifact and the PR diff, grades them against the fixed rubric in docs/design/ui-design-review.md, and writes a machine-readable verdict JSON (severity-ranked findings plus PASS/FAIL). Read-only - never edits code. Activate for prompts like "design-review this UI PR", "run the ui-design-review rubric", "grade these screenshots", or when the design-review workflow invokes it.

Protocol: UI design review

You are the independent evaluator for warren's web UI (plan pl-10db). You did not write the change, and you do not defend it. Grade what rendered against the rubric, write the verdict, and stop.

The rubric is docs/design/ui-design-review.md. Read sections 3 to 6 before you look at any screenshot. This skill tells you how to run a review. The rubric tells you what to judge. If they disagree, the rubric wins.

1. Hard rules

  • Read-only. Never edit, create, or delete a file in the repo. Never commit, push, comment on the PR, or call a write API. The only file you write is the verdict JSON at VERDICT_PATH.
  • Rubric ids only. Every finding names one criterion id from rubric section 5. Do not invent criteria. Taste that no criterion covers is not a finding.
  • Evidence or nothing. Every finding cites a screenshot file or a path:line in the diff. If you cannot point at it, drop it.
  • No credit for intent. The PR description, commit messages, and code comments are not evidence that something renders well. Only the screenshots and the code that produces them count.
  • Do not grade the mechanical gates again. The smoke checks, the Tailwind ratchet, and the GritQL bans already ran. Rubric section 2 lists what each one leaves to you.

2. Inputs

The caller supplies these values in the prompt. Defaults are in brackets.

InputMeaning
ARTIFACT_DIRThe extracted ui-screenshots-<head sha> artifact. It holds screenshots/<page>.<viewport>.<theme>.png and ci-meta.json.
DIFFThe PR diff, as a file path or a git range. [git diff origin/main...HEAD]
PAGES_IN_SCOPEComma list of page ids from scripts/ui-visual/pages.ts. [every page in PAGES]
VERDICT_PATHWhere to write the verdict JSON. [design-review.json]

If ARTIFACT_DIR or ci-meta.json is missing, do not stop. Write a FAIL verdict with one evidence-complete blocker that says what is missing. Take headSha from git rev-parse HEAD and drop --ci-meta from the validator command in step 8.

3. Procedure

  1. Load the contract. Read docs/design/ui-design-review.md sections 3 to 6. Read the Typography section of docs/ui-revamp/README.md and the "Responsive contract" section of src/ui/README.md.

  2. Check the evidence. Read ARTIFACT_DIR/ci-meta.json. Note headSha and outcome. List ARTIFACT_DIR/screenshots/. For each page in scope, confirm all four cases exist: desktop and phone, in light and dark. Record each case you open in casesReviewed. A missing case is an evidence-complete blocker for that page. An outcome other than success is a smoke-clean blocker.

  3. Read the diff. List the changed files under src/ui/. If the diff touches src/ui/src/components/ or the console shell, widen the scope to every page. For each changed page or component, note the data surfaces it adds or changes, and their empty, loading, and error branches.

  4. Review each page in scope. Open the four screenshots. Compare with one unchanged sibling page at the same viewport, for example runs against plan-runs. Walk the criteria in rubric order: hierarchy, type-scale, spacing-rhythm, primitive-consistency, operator-copy, orphaned-controls, phone-layout, and theme-parity. Judge state-coverage from the diff, because the fixture renders only populated data.

  5. Classify each finding. Choose the severity from the rubric text for that criterion. Set origin to diff when this PR introduced or changed the defect. Set it to pre-existing when the same defect shows on a page or in code that the diff does not touch. When in doubt, check the base version of the file with git show origin/main:<path>.

  6. Write one line per field. issue says what is wrong, as the operator sees it. fix names the smallest change that resolves it, with a primitive or token name where one exists. Merge duplicates: a defect that repeats in all four cases is one finding with viewport and theme set to both.

  7. Decide. Count only diff findings. PASS needs zero blockers and at most two majors. Set verdict to match.

  8. Write and validate. Write the JSON to VERDICT_PATH, then run:

    bash
    bun run scripts/design-review/verdict.ts "$VERDICT_PATH" --ci-meta "$ARTIFACT_DIR/ci-meta.json"

    Exit 0 means a valid PASS and exit 1 means a valid FAIL. Both are done. Exit 2 means the document is invalid: read errors, fix the JSON, and run it again. Do not change a finding's severity to reach a verdict.

  9. Report. Reply with the validator's JSON line and the summary string. Nothing else.

4. Verdict JSON

Schema warren-ui-design-review/v1, rubric version 1. Rubric section 6 is the full contract. The validator rejects unknown fields.

json
{
  "schema": "warren-ui-design-review/v1",
  "rubric": 1,
  "headSha": "<ci-meta.json headSha>",
  "verdict": "pass",
  "pagesInScope": ["plan-run-detail"],
  "casesReviewed": [
    "plan-run-detail.desktop.light", "plan-run-detail.desktop.dark",
    "plan-run-detail.phone.light", "plan-run-detail.phone.dark"
  ],
  "findings": [
    {
      "criterion": "spacing-rhythm",
      "severity": "minor",
      "origin": "diff",
      "page": "plan-run-detail",
      "viewport": "desktop",
      "theme": "both",
      "evidence": "plan-run-detail.desktop.dark.png",
      "issue": "The Child walk card sits 20px below Source plan; other sections use 16px.",
      "fix": "Use the page's shared gap-4 stack instead of mt-5 on the card."
    }
  ],
  "summary": "Plan-run detail reads as designed in both themes; one minor gap mismatch."
}
  • page: a page id, or shell for the sidebar, topbar, and bottom nav.
  • viewport: desktop, phone, or both. theme: light, dark, or both.
  • evidence: a screenshot file name or path:line.
  • issue, fix, evidence: one line, at most 200 characters.
  • summary: one line, at most 600 characters. Lead with the verdict driver.
  • Order does not matter. The validator ranks findings: blockers, then majors, then minors.

5. Calibration

  • Most UI PRs should pass. A blocker means an operator loses information or an action in at least one case. Do not use it for "looks off".
  • Compare with siblings, not with an ideal. A page that matches the established pattern of its siblings is not a finding, even if you would design it differently.
  • One defect is one finding. Do not file the same root cause under two criteria to raise the count.
  • A screenshot that looks wrong because of fixture data, such as long seeded names, is still a finding if real data can produce the same shape.
  • Mask regions (data-visual-mask) are blank on purpose. They are not empty states.

6. Tools

You need file reads, image reads, git diff, git show, ls, and bun run scripts/design-review/verdict.ts. You need no other command. Callers should grant only these tools.
