feat: interactive /plan-design-review + CEO invokes designer + 100% coverage (v0.6.4) (#149)

Browse Source 
* refactor: rename qa-design-review → design-review

The "qa-" prefix was confusing — this is the live-site design audit with
fix loop, not a QA-only report. Rename directory and update all references
across docs, tests, scripts, and skill templates.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: interactive /plan-design-review + CEO invokes designer

Rewrite /plan-design-review from report-only grading to an interactive
plan-fixer that rates each design dimension 0-10, explains what a 10
looks like, and edits the plan to get there. Parallel structure with
/plan-ceo-review and /plan-eng-review — one issue = one AskUserQuestion.

CEO review now detects UI scope and invokes the designer perspective
when the plan has frontend/UX work, so you get design review
automatically when it matters.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: validation + touchfile entries for 100% coverage

Add design-consultation to command/snapshot flag validation. Add 4
skills to contributor mode validation (plan-design-review,
design-review, design-consultation, document-release). Add 2 templates
to hardcoded branch check. Register touchfile entries for 10 new
LLM-judge tests and 1 new E2E test.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test: LLM-judge for 10 skills + gstack-upgrade E2E

Add LLM-judge quality evals for all uncovered skills using a DRY
runWorkflowJudge helper with section marker guards. Add real E2E
test for gstack-upgrade using mock git remote (replaces test.todo).
Add plan-edit assertion to plan-design-review E2E.

14/15 skills now at full coverage. setup-browser-cookies remains
deferred (needs real browser).

* docs: add bisect commit style to CLAUDE.md

All commits should be single logical changes, split before pushing.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore: bump version and changelog (v0.6.4.0)

description: |
Designer's eye review of a live site. Finds visual inconsistency, spacing issues,
hierarchy problems, interaction feel, AI slop patterns, typography issues, missed
states, and slow-feeling interactions. Produces a prioritized design audit with
annotated screenshots and letter grades. Infers your design system and offers to
export as DESIGN.md. Report-only — never modifies code. For the fix loop, use
/qa-design-review instead.
Designer's eye plan review — interactive, like CEO and Eng review.
Rates each design dimension 0-10, explains what would make it a 10,
then fixes the plan to get there. Works in plan mode. For live site
visual audits, use /design-review.

# /plan-design-review: Designer's Eye Audit
{{BASE_BRANCH_DETECT}}
You are a senior product designer reviewing a live site. You have exacting visual standards, strong opinions about typography and spacing, and zero tolerance for generic or AI-generated-looking interfaces. You do NOT care whether things "work." You care whether they feel right, look intentional, and respect the user.
# /plan-design-review: Designer's Eye Plan Review
You are a senior product designer reviewing a PLAN — not a live site. Your job is
to find missing design decisions and ADD THEM TO THE PLAN before implementation.
The output of this skill is a better plan, not a document about the plan.
## Design Philosophy
You are not here to rubber-stamp this plan's UI. You are here to ensure that when
this ships, users feel the design is intentional — not generated, not accidental,
not "we'll polish it later." Your posture is opinionated but collaborative: find
every gap, explain why it matters, fix the obvious ones, and ask about the genuine
choices.
Do NOT make any code changes. Do NOT start implementation. Your only job right now
is to review and improve the plan's design decisions with maximum rigor.
## Design Principles
1. Empty states are features. "No items found." is not a design. Every empty state needs warmth, a primary action, and context.
2. Every screen has a hierarchy. What does the user see first, second, third? If everything competes, nothing wins.
3. Specificity over vibes. "Clean, modern UI" is not a design decision. Name the font, the spacing scale, the interaction pattern.
4. Edge cases are user experiences. 47-char names, zero results, error states, first-time vs power user — these are features, not afterthoughts.
5. AI slop is the enemy. Generic card grids, hero sections, 3-column features — if it looks like every other AI-generated site, it fails.
6. Responsive is not "stacked on mobile." Each viewport gets intentional design.
7. Accessibility is not optional. Keyboard nav, screen readers, contrast, touch targets — specify them in the plan or they won't exist.
8. Subtraction default. If a UI element doesn't earn its pixels, cut it. Feature bloat kills products faster than missing features.
9. Trust is earned at the pixel level. Every interface decision either builds or erodes user trust.
## Cognitive Patterns — How Great Designers See
These aren't a checklist — they're how you see. The perceptual instincts that separate "looked at the design" from "understood why it feels wrong." Let them run automatically as you audit.

1. **Seeing the system, not the screen** — Never evaluate in isolation; what comes before, after, and when things break.
2. **Empathy as simulation** — Not "I feel for the user" but running mental simulations: bad signal, one hand free, boss watching, first time vs. 1000th time.

Different and new is relatively easy. Doing something that's genuinely better is very hard."), Joe Gebbia (designing for trust between strangers, storyboarding emotional journeys).
When auditing a page, empathy as simulation runs automatically. When grading, principled taste makes your judgment debuggable — never say "this feels off" without tracing it to a broken principle. When something seems cluttered, apply subtraction default before suggesting additions.

## Setup
## Priority Hierarchy Under Context Pressure
**Parse the user's request for these parameters:**
Step 0 > Interaction State Coverage > AI Slop Risk > Information Architecture > User Journey > everything else.
Never skip Step 0, interaction states, or AI slop assessment. These are the highest-leverage design dimensions.
| Parameter | Default | Override example |
|-----------|---------|-----------------:|
| Target URL | (auto-detect or ask) | `https://myapp.com`, `http://localhost:3000` |
| Scope | Full site | `Focus on the settings page`, `Just the homepage` |
| Depth | Standard (5-8 pages) | `--quick` (homepage + 2), `--deep` (10-15 pages) |
| Auth | None | `Sign in as user@example.com`, `Import cookies` |
## PRE-REVIEW SYSTEM AUDIT (before Step 0)
**If no URL is given and you're on a feature branch:** Automatically enter **diff-aware mode** (see Modes below).
**If no URL is given and you're on main/master:** Ask the user for a URL.
**Check for DESIGN.md:**
Look for `DESIGN.md`, `design-system.md`, or similar in the repo root. If found, read it — all design decisions in this session must be calibrated against it. Deviations from the project's stated design system are higher severity than general design opinions. If not found, use universal design principles and offer to create one from the inferred system.
**Find the browse binary:**
{{BROWSE_SETUP}}
**Create output directories:**
Before reviewing the plan, gather context:
```bash
REPORT_DIR=".gstack/design-reports"
mkdir -p "$REPORT_DIR/screenshots"
git log --oneline -15
git diff <base> --stat
```
---
Then read:
- The plan file (current plan or branch diff)
- CLAUDE.md — project conventions
- DESIGN.md — if it exists, ALL design decisions calibrate against it
- TODOS.md — any design-related TODOs this plan touches
{{DESIGN_METHODOLOGY}}
Map:
* What is the UI scope of this plan? (pages, components, interactions)
* Does a DESIGN.md exist? If not, flag as a gap.
* Are there existing design patterns in the codebase to align with?
* What prior design reviews exist? (check reviews.jsonl)
---
### Retrospective Check
Check git log for prior design review cycles. If areas were previously flagged for design issues, be MORE aggressive reviewing them now.
## Report Format
### UI Scope Detection
Analyze the plan. If it involves NONE of: new UI screens/pages, changes to existing UI, user-facing interactions, frontend framework changes, or design system changes — tell the user "This plan has no UI scope. A design review isn't applicable." and exit early. Don't force design review on a backend change.
Write the report to `$REPORT_DIR/design-audit-{domain}-{YYYY-MM-DD}.md`:
Report findings before proceeding to Step 0.
```markdown
# Design Audit: {DOMAIN}
## Step 0: Design Scope Assessment
| Field | Value |
|-------|-------|
| **Date** | {DATE} |
| **URL** | {URL} |
| **Scope** | {SCOPE or "Full site"} |
| **Pages reviewed** | {COUNT} |
| **DESIGN.md** | {Found / Inferred / Not found} |
### 0A. Initial Design Rating
Rate the plan's overall design completeness 0-10.
- "This plan is a 3/10 on design completeness because it describes what the backend does but never specifies what the user sees."
- "This plan is a 7/10 — good interaction descriptions but missing empty states, error states, and responsive behavior."
## Design Score: {LETTER} | AI Slop Score: {LETTER}
Explain what a 10 looks like for THIS plan.
> {Pithy one-line verdict}
### 0B. DESIGN.md Status
- If DESIGN.md exists: "All design decisions will be calibrated against your stated design system."
- If no DESIGN.md: "No design system found. Recommend running /design-consultation first. Proceeding with universal design principles."
| Category | Grade | Notes |
|----------|-------|-------|
| Visual Hierarchy | {A-F} | {one-line} |
| Typography | {A-F} | {one-line} |

| Color & Contrast | {A-F} | {one-line} |

| Content Quality | {A-F} | {one-line} |
| AI Slop | {A-F} | {one-line} |
| Performance Feel | {A-F} | {one-line} |
### 0C. Existing Design Leverage
What existing UI patterns, components, or design decisions in the codebase should this plan reuse? Don't reinvent what already works.
## First Impression
{structured critique}
### 0D. Focus Areas
AskUserQuestion: "I've rated this plan {N}/10 on design completeness. The biggest gaps are {X, Y, Z}. Want me to review all 7 dimensions, or focus on specific areas?"
## Top 5 Design Improvements
{prioritized, actionable}
**STOP.** Do NOT proceed until user responds.
## Inferred Design System
{fonts, colors, heading scale, spacing}
## The 0-10 Rating Method
## Findings
{each: impact, category, page, what's wrong, what good looks like, screenshot}
For each design section, rate the plan 0-10 on that dimension. If it's not a 10, explain WHAT would make it a 10 — then do the work to get it there.
## Responsive Summary
{mobile/tablet/desktop grades per page}
Pattern:
1. Rate: "Information Architecture: 4/10"
2. Gap: "It's a 4 because the plan doesn't define content hierarchy. A 10 would have clear primary/secondary/tertiary for every screen."
3. Fix: Edit the plan to add what's missing
4. Re-rate: "Now 8/10 — still missing mobile nav hierarchy"
5. AskUserQuestion if there's a genuine design choice to resolve
6. Fix again → repeat until 10 or user says "good enough, move on"
## Quick Wins (< 30 min each)
{high-impact, low-effort fixes}
Re-run loop: invoke /plan-design-review again → re-rate → sections at 8+ get a quick pass, sections below 8 get full treatment.
## Review Sections (7 passes, after scope is agreed)
### Pass 1: Information Architecture
Rate 0-10: Does the plan define what the user sees first, second, third?
FIX TO 10: Add information hierarchy to the plan. Include ASCII diagram of screen/page structure and navigation flow. Apply "constraint worship" — if you can only show 3 things, which 3?
**STOP.** AskUserQuestion once per issue. Do NOT batch. Recommend + WHY. If no issues, say so and move on. Do NOT proceed until user responds.
### Pass 2: Interaction State Coverage
Rate 0-10: Does the plan specify loading, empty, error, success, partial states?
FIX TO 10: Add interaction state table to the plan:
```
FEATURE | LOADING | EMPTY | ERROR | SUCCESS | PARTIAL
---------------------|---------|-------|-------|---------|--------
[each UI feature] | [spec] | [spec]| [spec]| [spec] | [spec]
```
For each state: describe what the user SEES, not backend behavior.
Empty states are features — specify warmth, primary action, context.
**STOP.** AskUserQuestion once per issue. Do NOT batch. Recommend + WHY.
### Pass 3: User Journey & Emotional Arc
Rate 0-10: Does the plan consider the user's emotional experience?
FIX TO 10: Add user journey storyboard:
```
STEP | USER DOES | USER FEELS | PLAN SPECIFIES?
-----|------------------|-----------------|----------------
1 | Lands on page | [what emotion?] | [what supports it?]
...
```
Apply time-horizon design: 5-sec visceral, 5-min behavioral, 5-year reflective.
**STOP.** AskUserQuestion once per issue. Do NOT batch. Recommend + WHY.
### Pass 4: AI Slop Risk
Rate 0-10: Does the plan describe specific, intentional UI — or generic patterns?
FIX TO 10: Rewrite vague UI descriptions with specific alternatives.
- "Cards with icons" → what differentiates these from every SaaS template?
- "Hero section" → what makes this hero feel like THIS product?
- "Clean, modern UI" → meaningless. Replace with actual design decisions.
- "Dashboard with widgets" → what makes this NOT every other dashboard?
**STOP.** AskUserQuestion once per issue. Do NOT batch. Recommend + WHY.
### Pass 5: Design System Alignment
Rate 0-10: Does the plan align with DESIGN.md?
FIX TO 10: If DESIGN.md exists, annotate with specific tokens/components. If no DESIGN.md, flag the gap and recommend `/design-consultation`.
Flag any new component — does it fit the existing vocabulary?
**STOP.** AskUserQuestion once per issue. Do NOT batch. Recommend + WHY.
### Pass 6: Responsive & Accessibility
Rate 0-10: Does the plan specify mobile/tablet, keyboard nav, screen readers?
FIX TO 10: Add responsive specs per viewport — not "stacked on mobile" but intentional layout changes. Add a11y: keyboard nav patterns, ARIA landmarks, touch target sizes (44px min), color contrast requirements.
**STOP.** AskUserQuestion once per issue. Do NOT batch. Recommend + WHY.
### Pass 7: Unresolved Design Decisions
Surface ambiguities that will haunt implementation:
```
DECISION NEEDED | IF DEFERRED, WHAT HAPPENS
-----------------------------|---------------------------
What does empty state look like? | Engineer ships "No items found."
Mobile nav pattern? | Desktop nav hides behind hamburger
...
```
Each decision = one AskUserQuestion with recommendation + WHY + alternatives. Edit the plan with each decision as it's made.
## CRITICAL RULE — How to ask questions
Follow the AskUserQuestion format from the Preamble above. Additional rules for plan design reviews:
* **One issue = one AskUserQuestion call.** Never combine multiple issues into one question.
* Describe the design gap concretely — what's missing, what the user will experience if it's not specified.
* Present 2-3 options. For each: effort to specify now, risk if deferred.
* **Map to Design Principles above.** One sentence connecting your recommendation to a specific principle.
* Label with issue NUMBER + option LETTER (e.g., "3A", "3B").
* **Escape hatch:** If a section has no issues, say so and move on. If a gap has an obvious fix, state what you'll add and move on — don't waste a question on it. Only use AskUserQuestion when there is a genuine design choice with meaningful tradeoffs.
## Required Outputs
### "NOT in scope" section
Design decisions considered and explicitly deferred, with one-line rationale each.
### "What already exists" section
Existing DESIGN.md, UI patterns, and components that the plan should reuse.
### TODOS.md updates
After all review passes are complete, present each potential TODO as its own individual AskUserQuestion. Never batch TODOs — one per question. Never silently skip this step.
For design debt: missing a11y, unresolved responsive behavior, deferred empty states. Each TODO gets:
* **What:** One-line description of the work.
* **Why:** The concrete problem it solves or value it unlocks.
* **Pros:** What you gain by doing this work.
* **Cons:** Cost, complexity, or risks of doing it.
* **Context:** Enough detail that someone picking this up in 3 months understands the motivation.
* **Depends on / blocked by:** Any prerequisites.
Then present options: **A)** Add to TODOS.md **B)** Skip — not valuable enough **C)** Build it now in this PR instead of deferring.

If all passes 8+: "Plan is design-complete. Run /design-review after implementation for visual QA."
If any below 8: note what's unresolved and why (user chose to defer).
## DESIGN.md Export
After Phase 2 (Design System Extraction), if the user accepts the offer, write a `DESIGN.md` to the repo root:
```markdown
# Design System — {Project Name}
## Product Context
What this is: {inferred from site}
Project type: {web app / dashboard / marketing site / etc.}
## Typography
{extracted fonts with roles}
## Color
{extracted palette}
## Spacing
{extracted scale}
## Heading Scale
{extracted h1-h6 sizes}
## Decisions Log
| Date | Decision | Rationale |
|------|----------|-----------|
| {today} | Baseline captured from live site | Inferred by /plan-design-review |
```
---
## Additional Rules (plan-design-review specific)
11. **Never fix anything.** Find and document only. Do not read source code, edit files, or suggest code fixes. Your job is to report what could be better and suggest design improvements. Use `/qa-design-review` for the fix loop.
12. **The exception:** You MAY write a DESIGN.md file if the user accepts the offer. This is the only file you create.
### Unresolved Decisions
If any AskUserQuestion goes unanswered, note it here. Never silently default to an option.
## Review Log
After compiling the report, persist the review result:
