The Design Reviewer agent is the quality gate for your design process. It evaluates artifacts from any phase of the UI lifecycle — research briefs, wireframes, visual designs, UX specs — against phase-specific quality criteria and design best practices.
Each review produces a scored verdict with detailed, actionable feedback. It checks for consistency with prior phase artifacts, adherence to design principles, accessibility compliance, and overall quality. Issues are categorized by severity with specific recommendations.
Use it between lifecycle phases to ensure each artifact meets the quality bar before progressing, or use it standalone to get expert critique on any design artifact.
