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:

  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. 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 (e.g., /normalize, /optimize, /harden)

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:

  1. Immediate: Critical blockers to fix first
  2. Short-term: High-severity issues (this sprint)
  3. Medium-term: Quality improvements (next sprint)
  4. Long-term: Nice-to-haves and optimizations

Suggested Commands for Fixes

Map issues to appropriate commands:

  • "Use /normalize to align components with design system (addresses 23 theming issues)"
  • "Use /optimize to improve performance (addresses 12 performance issues)"
  • "Use /harden to improve i18n and text handling (addresses 8 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.
