# UI Design Review
## Registry-first artifact boundary
When `.styleseed/project.json` and `.styleseed/artifacts/index.json` exist, resolve the requested artifact ID first, then read only `.styleseed/bundles/<artifact-id>.md` and `.styleseed/manifests/<artifact-id>.json`. Never fall back to the global legacy bundle for a registry project. Legacy projects may use `.styleseed/effective-rules.md` only when no registry exists.
Read `.styleseed/effective-rules.md` and `.styleseed/manifest.json`. If missing or stale, invoke
`/ss-resolve` or `$ss-resolve` from `STYLESEED.md` first. Review task fitness and grammar
coherence before framework conventions. For non-web artifacts, replace React/Tailwind-only
checks with the active adapter's render/export checks.
## When NOT to use
- For accessibility-only issues → use `/ss-a11y`
- For Nielsen UX heuristics → use `/ss-audit`
- For a quick automated check → use `/ss-lint`
- For non-UI code (data fetching, business rules)

## Checklist
### 1. Design Token and Recipe Compliance
- [ ] No hardcoded hex colors (use semantic tokens: `text-foreground`, `bg-brand`, etc.)
- [ ] No hardcoded px spacing in Tailwind (use `p-6` not `p-[24px]`)
- [ ] Pattern geometry/elevation uses the selected recipe or explicit semantic variables
- [ ] No hardcoded universal `rounded-2xl + shadow + mx-6` language across unrelated recipes
### 2. Component Conventions
- [ ] Uses `data-slot` attribute
- [ ] Uses `cn()` for className merging
- [ ] Props typed with `React.ComponentProps<>`
- [ ] Supports `className` prop override
- [ ] Named export (not default export for components)
- [ ] No wrapper components that only add a className
### 3. Accessibility (a11y)
- [ ] Touch targets >= 44x44px for interactive elements
- [ ] `focus-visible` styles on all interactive elements
- [ ] Proper `aria-*` attributes where needed
- [ ] Color contrast meets WCAG AA (4.5:1 for text, 3:1 for large text)
- [ ] Animations respect `prefers-reduced-motion`
- [ ] Images have `alt` text
- [ ] Form inputs have associated labels
### 4. Surface Best Practices
- [ ] No horizontal overflow
- [ ] Touch-friendly spacing between interactive elements
- [ ] Mobile safe area insets handled when the adapter requires them
- [ ] Desktop density/type and non-web canvas/export rules follow the selected adapter
- [ ] Text sizes >= 12px for readability
- [ ] Scrollable containers have `-webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch`
### 5. Performance
- [ ] No unnecessary re-renders (stable references, memoization where needed)
- [ ] Images are lazy-loaded
- [ ] Heavy components are code-split
### 6. Typography
- [ ] Uses the locked type family and recipe-fit type roles
- [ ] Font sizes from the 14-step scale (10-48px, see CLAUDE.md)
- [ ] Proper font weights (400, 500, 600, 700)
- [ ] Display text (36-48px): `leading-none` + `tracking-[-0.02em]`
- [ ] Heading text (18-24px): `leading-snug` + `tracking-[-0.01em]`
- [ ] Body text (14-17px): `leading-normal` (no custom tracking)
- [ ] Caption uppercase (10-13px): `tracking-[0.05em]` or `tracking-wide`
- [ ] No `line-height: 1.5` on display/heading text (too loose)
### 7. Spacing Consistency
- [ ] Spacing uses one maintained token scale and the selected recipe's major rhythm
- [ ] Off-scale values have an optical, canvas, or platform reason
- [ ] Uses `size-*` shorthand instead of `w-* h-*`
- [ ] Uses `ms-*/me-*` instead of `ml-*/mr-*` (logical properties)
- [ ] Motion transitions use design tokens (`duration-[var(--duration-fast)]`)
### 8. Coherence (VISUAL-CRAFT.md §C0 — the "one choice per axis" laws)
> The biggest reason a UI reads as "AI-generated" isn't ugly parts — it's *mixed*
> parts. Check that each axis below uses ONE value system-wide; flag a mix as a real
> issue, not a nitpick.
- [ ] **One radius personality** — sharp (0-4px) OR soft (8-12px) OR pill, applied to every card/button/input/modal. No mixing (e.g. a `rounded-none` panel with `rounded-full` buttons).
- [ ] **One identifiable primary action** plus only the selected grammar's stable semantic,
categorical, or brand roles — no competing decorative emphasis hues.
- [ ] **No emoji as UI icons** (🚗🧺⭐ as list/nav/status/category markers) — they inject many uncontrolled hues; use one line-icon set in `currentColor`.
- [ ] **Status color = severity, not decoration** — a normal/OK/"보통" state is neutral grey (not colored); color marks only the minority of rows that need attention; same value → same color.
- [ ] **No decorative hues** — favorite stars, category dots, avatars use the accent or grey, not a new color each.
- [ ] **One shadow language** — same light direction, same scale/tint; not some black + some tinted, some up-lit + some down-lit.
- [ ] **One icon family / fill mode / stroke weight** across the file.
- [ ] **Nested-radius law** — an element inside a rounded container uses `inner = outer − padding`, not the same radius (which bulges).
- [ ] **Consistent control heights** — buttons, inputs, selects share a height set (e.g. 40px).
- [ ] Errors/states never rely on color alone (icon + text too).
