proofreader

Use this skill when reviewing written content for grammar, spelling, punctuation, style consistency, and tone—before publishing, submitting, or sending.

UncategorizedView skill →

ui-ux-review-suite

User-triggered orchestrator that runs a comprehensive UI/UX review by coaching the user through four sibling skills as distinct lenses against one shared target, then synthesizing their findings into a single prioritized report. Composes user-journey-mapping (flow/funnel lens), ui-design-aesthetics (visual critique lens), interaction-design (state-coverage lens), and ux-review (usability-heuristics + WCAG lens). Resolves the review target once at suite start — the app/URL, the screens or flows under review, the viewports, and the user persona/goal — so every lens inherits the same scope and captured screenshots. Coaches rather than auto-runs — at each step it presents the next lens with its reframing prompt and an approval gate; the user invokes the sibling and confirms before moving on. Because the lenses overlap (ux-review already touches interaction and a11y), the suite scopes each lens to its distinct concern so the synthesis does not double-count. Produces one authored synthesis report — deduped findings grouped by severity and lens — not a navigation shell. Trigger on "run a full UX review," "comprehensive UI/UX review," "review this screen across all lenses," "do a complete design review," or when the user names two-or-more UI/UX lenses to coordinate. Not for running a single lens in isolation (invoke it directly), not for generating new UI (the generative siblings are reframed as critique here), and not for bypassing approval gates (this skill coaches, never autoruns).

Not for academic systematic reviews (use literature-reviewer) or fact-checking specific claims (use fact-checker).

UncategorizedView skill →

wiring-audit

User-triggered audit that finds wiring drift between a project's UI surfaces and backend capabilities — orphan surfaces (UI calls endpoints/hooks/procedures that no longer exist), unwired capabilities (backend routes/exports that nothing surfaces), shape drift (both exist but contracts mismatch), method drift (URL matches, HTTP verb does not), validation drift (frontend vs backend rules diverged), permission drift (UI exposes what backend forbids or vice versa), stale labels (UI text references renamed backend concepts), and unsurfaced configuration (env vars or flags that gate behavior with no UI or CLI to control them). This skill should be used when the user asks to "audit our wiring," "find UI/backend drift," "find unwired capabilities," "find stale surfaces," "check for contract violations," "find unused endpoints," "find unused hooks," "what mismatches between UI and backend," or any similar request whose deliverable is a prioritized findings report rather than a descriptive snapshot. Generic across UI frameworks but optimized for React applications (hooks, fetch, react-query, SWR, tRPC, server actions, react-router, Next.js). Not for descriptive architectural snapshots (use architectural-analysis), security audits (use security-auditor), or performance audits (use the performance-optimization skills).
