Studio audit
Senior studio design audit for finished UI. Use when the user says a page, flow, app, or branch feels done and wants a final senior-designer flaw pass, studio law review (the `studio` skill), ship check, or design QA before handing off or deploying.From its SKILL.md

studio-audit
Use this when the user feels "done" and wants the work judged like a senior designer would judge it before handoff. This is an umbrella review skill, not a new visual system. It composes the existing Cortex design review and craft skills, then synthesizes one priority-ordered report.
law
Read references/studio-law.md before judging. Read references/report-template.md before writing the final report.
Default to audit-only. Do not edit code, run formatters, or apply fixes unless
the user explicitly asks for fixes. If a delegated skill offers to fix safe
small issues, keep it in report-only mode unless the invocation includes
fix, apply, or equivalent explicit permission.
workflow
- scope the artifact. Identify whether the target is a component, page, flow, whole app, screenshot, URL, or branch. If scope is missing, audit the current visible app or current branch and state that assumption.
- load project truth. Read local design docs, existing component conventions, recent changed files, and any asbuilt package if one is present. Do not require asbuilt; treat it as extra project-specific evidence.
- static ship check. Use
preflightfor code-level accessibility, visual consistency, responsive footguns, and AI-pattern tells. - viewport check. Use
responsive-craft previewor its snapshot workflow when the target can run in a browser. At minimum cover mobile and desktop; note any untested viewport range. - live experience check. Use
wip-senior-auditas the live-site engine when the app can boot or a URL is available. It covers first impressions, navigation, hierarchy, consistency, states, trust, and conversion. If the app cannot run, mark live flow coverage asnot covered. - taste and interaction check. Use
interface-craft critiquefor composition, hierarchy, density, user context, and pattern cohesion. Useemil-design-engfor motion, feedback, timing, and interaction feel. - synthesize. Deduplicate findings across lenses. Order by severity, not by the skill that found them. Every finding must name the evidence, why it matters, and a concrete fix.
output
Write the final answer in the format from references/report-template.md.
If working inside a repo and the audit is more than a quick chat critique, also
write the durable report to docs/design-audit/studio-audit.md. If screenshots
were captured, store them under docs/design-audit/assets/ and reference them
from the report.
