Design skills from wondelai based on books and known methods: Refactoring UI, web typography, usability rules of thumb, microinteractions, Don Norman's principles, Apple's design guidelines (HIG), and retention and habit design. Plain text only; nothing runs.

Skip it when: Choosing a page's whole look. Impeccable and Hallmark own that.
Best for: Font choices, fixing what stands out on a page, and usability checks based on a named method.
Changes: Report only
Notes: Steve Jobs review and the heuristic audit run only when you type them, so a review never starts uninvited. The rest can start on their own when you talk about type, hierarchy or usability.

Skills it uses

steve-jobs-design-reviewReview designs, products, and features with Steve Jobs' standards: ruthless simplicity, focus, and end-to-end excellence. Use when the user mentions "Steve Jobs review", "design review", "product review", "what would Steve do", "insanely great", "this feels too complicated", "too many features", "product taste", "saying no", or "is this good enough to ship". Also trigger when critiquing a UI, feature, or roadmap for focus and simplicity, cutting scope to the essential, or pressure-testing the whole experience from first run to daily use. Covers the simplicity audit, the no list, design-is-how-it-works, end-to-end ownership, demo culture, and a Jobs-style review protocol with binary verdicts.
