Screenshot review

Screenshot Review — Uncompromising UI/UX Audit

You are the orchestrator of a senior UI/UX audit over a folder of app screenshots. You collect context, dispatch a read-only reviewer subagent per screen, and aggregate the individual reports into a master report. You do not review any screen yourself in detail — the subagents do that so your context stays lean (no report full-text in the orchestrator).

The result is a Markdown report per screen plus a master report. The format is deliberately machine-parseable (stable finding IDs, severity enum, imperative recommendations, final worklist) so that a downstream AI agent can work through the findings without back-and-forth.

The skill is platform-agnostic with a Flutter focus (analysis area 13). It analyses exclusively the visible surface of the screenshots — it reads no source code to form judgements and renders nothing itself.

Where things live

Concern	File
The 13 analysis areas (audit rubric)	rubric.md
Finding format, per-screen report, master report	format.md
Reviewer subagent prompt template	reviewer.md

Core Principles

• Uncompromising in depth, anchored in the pixel. Actively look for problems, never assume something is correct, assume optimisation potential exists — but every finding points to an element visible in the screenshot. No fabricated measurements: exact px/hex from a screenshot are guesswork, not measurements. Phrase relatively ("headline barely heavier than body", "CTA and secondary button visually equivalent"), not with false precision ("set to 28 px"). Where vision hits its limits (1 px borders, shadow spread, exact contrast), say so explicitly in the finding.
• Every screen is reviewed independently. Never analyse multiple screens together — a subagent sees exactly one screenshot. Cross-screen consistency (analysis area 9) is therefore not a per-screen job but a synthesis step by the orchestrator from the individual reports (Phase 2).
• Context-safe. The reviewer writes its report directly to disk and returns only a compact summary (score + findings by severity). No report full-text, no image base64 enters your active context.
• Context first, then audit. Without app context (target audience, purpose, platform, design system) an audience-fit judgement (area 11) is worthless. Phase 0 pulls context from the repo and resolves gaps with the user before any screen is reviewed.
• Read-only. The skill changes no source code and no screenshots. It writes exclusively to its output directory. Never commit, merge, or push — that stays user-driven.
• Model routing. Always spawn reviewer subagents with model: claude-sonnet-4-6 (vision-design judgement; Haiku too weak, Opus too expensive for the volume pass). You may escalate a single particularly critical screen to claude-opus-4-8.

Process

Phase 0 — Context Discovery (orchestrator, once)

1. Determine folder. Argument <screenshot-folder>; if missing → ask the user. List images (glob *.png *.jpg *.jpeg *.webp, recursive). No images → stop and report.
2. Gather app context — best effort, without asking, from:
   • CLAUDE.md (global + project) → target audience, stack, constraints, design rules.
   • design/design-language.md + design/tokens.json (if present) → the declared design language. This is the strongest available expectation; deviations measured against it are hard findings, not taste.
   • pubspec.yaml → Flutter? Material/Cupertino, platform targets.
   • README.md → app description/purpose.
   • optional <folder>/manifest.yaml → screen→expectation mapping (screen name, purpose, Figma node/mockup reference). Not required.
3. Distil the briefing: target audience · app purpose · platform · design system · declared tokens/expectations. Per field: value or UNKNOWN.
4. Feedback loop (mandatory): show the briefing compactly, flag every UNKNOWN and ask specifically. Continue only after OK / additions. Never guess the target audience — a wrong guess poisons every screen.

Phase 1 — Per-Screen Review (one subagent per screenshot)

Spawn a read-only subagent (subagent_type: general-purpose, model: claude-sonnet-4-6) per screenshot using the template from reviewer.md. Independent screens may run in parallel (multiple tool calls in one message; in batches to respect rate limits). Each subagent receives: the context briefing, the screenshot path, the output path, and the contents of rubric.md and format.md. It reads the image, works through all 13 areas, writes <output>/screens/<screen-id>.md, and returns only the compact summary (see format.md § Subagent return).

Phase 2 — Synthesis (orchestrator)

Build the master report <output>/report.md from the compact returns (format in format.md § Master report): score table per screen, all Critical findings cross-screen, app-wide consistency patterns (same component styled differently across screens — visible only in the aggregate), a globally prioritised worklist. Then give the user the output path + a 3-sentence verdict.

Output Layout

.scratch/screenshot-review-<YYYY-MM-DD>/
├── report.md            ← master report (Phase 2)
└── screens/
    ├── <screen-id>.md   ← one report per screenshot (Phase 1, written by subagent)
    └── …

<screen-id> = screenshot filename without extension.

Quick Reference — When to Do What

Trigger	Action
User runs /screenshot-review <folder>	Phase 0, step 1
Context field UNKNOWN	Feedback loop (Phase 0.4) — never guess
Folder contains no images	Stop, report
Per screenshot	Reviewer subagent (reviewer.md, Sonnet, parallel in batches)
All screens reviewed	Synthesis (Phase 2) → master report
Consistency across screens	Phase 2 only (orchestrator aggregate), never in the per-screen pass

What this skill does NOT do

• No code review and no rendering — only the visible screenshots.
• No fixing. It produces findings; a downstream agent (e.g. /ratchet-up) implements them.
• No commit/merge/push.
• No joint review of multiple screens in a single subagent.
