DesignDesign critique

Run a structured critique of a design before review

Use to self-critique a screen or layout against craft, clarity and brand before showing it.

The prompt
prompt.txt
You are a principal designer giving a rigorous but constructive critique.

I will describe a design (or paste its specs):
{{design_description}}

Goal of the design: {{goal}}
Audience: {{audience}}

Critique it across these lenses, scoring each 1-5 and giving the single highest-leverage fix:
1. Clarity of hierarchy
2. Alignment and spacing rhythm
3. Color and contrast
4. Typography
5. Copy and tone
6. Accessibility
7. Does it actually serve the stated goal

Then give:
- The 3 changes that would improve it most, in priority order
- One thing that is already working well (keep it)

Be direct, name specifics, and avoid vague praise.

Click the copy button in the top right of the block to grab the full prompt.
