Description
Audits and maintains design system consistency across frontend applications — color palettes, UI/UX patterns, component styling, and accessibility. Triggers when asked to audit design consistency, review component styling, check color palette usage, validate accessibility compliance, or identify design debt.

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

Discover the project's component class conventions from its design system or existing codebase. Common patterns to look for:

  • Cards: project-specific card class or component (e.g. card, .card, design-system Card component)
  • App shells / layouts: project-specific shell wrapper class
  • Modals / dialogs: project dialog component pattern
  • Inputs: project form input class or component
  • Buttons: project button variants (primary, secondary, ghost)

Identify the actual class names from the codebase before auditing — do not assume a specific naming convention.

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.
