Design Consistency Auditor

Purpose

Audit and maintain design consistency across frontend applications. Before auditing, discover the project's frontend structure from documentation.

Ensures:

  • Color palettes are used consistently
  • UI/UX patterns follow best practices
  • Components maintain visual harmony
  • Accessibility standards are met
  • Design system is properly applied
  • No design debt accumulates

When to Use

  • Auditing design consistency across apps
  • Reviewing color palette usage
  • Checking UI/UX patterns
  • Validating component styling
  • Ensuring accessibility compliance
  • Identifying design inconsistencies
  • Reviewing new features for design standards

Quick Reference

Color Rules

DO: Use semantic tokens (bg-primary, text-base-content, bg-base-100) DON'T: Hardcode hex colors (#000000) or arbitrary values (bg-[#123456])

Component Patterns

  • Cards: .gf-card
  • App shells: .gf-app
  • Modals: .glass-modal
  • Inputs: .glass-input, .form-focus
  • Buttons: btn btn-primary, .btn-secondary, btn-ghost

Spacing

DO: Use Tailwind scale (p-4, m-6, gap-4) DON'T: Use arbitrary values (p-[17px])

Accessibility

  • Semantic HTML (<button>, <nav>, <main>)
  • ARIA labels on interactive elements
  • 4.5:1 contrast for text, 3:1 for UI
  • Focus states: focus:outline-none focus:ring-2 focus:ring-primary

Responsive

  • Mobile-first with sm:, md:, lg:, xl: modifiers
  • Responsive typography: text-3xl sm:text-4xl

Audit Phases

  1. Color Palette - Scan for hardcoded colors, verify theme tokens
  2. Component Patterns - Check cards, buttons, forms use theme classes
  3. Spacing & Layout - Verify consistent spacing scale
  4. Typography - Check heading hierarchy and text styles
  5. Accessibility - Run automated checks, keyboard testing

AI Slop Prevention

Audit for generic "AI-generated" aesthetics:

  • Generic fonts (Inter, Roboto everywhere)
  • Purple gradients on white
  • Predictable layouts without character
  • Safe, boring color choices

Push for distinctive, branded designs with personality.
