FAQ

What is this skill for?

It provides a professional visual critique of interfaces and clear redesign guidance.

Yes. Screenshots are sufficient for visual analysis, though interaction behavior requires additional evidence.

Does it copy reference designs?

Yes. It identifies the visual decisions that cause inconsistency, clutter, weak hierarchy, or amateur appearance.
