UX Design Guardian

Overview

The UX Design Guardian agent is designed to act as a continuous quality assurance layer for user interface design. It operates on a scheduled heartbeat, systematically checking assigned design issues and recent implementations against established standards.

Its primary function is to prevent 'design drift'—the gradual deviation of the actual product from approved specifications—by automating checks for copy compliance, accessibility violations, and feature parity.

Capabilities

• Design Spec Monitoring: Checks for new specifications or incoming feedback related to assigned design issues.
• Copy Compliance Verification: Scans all UI copy specs to ensure no forbidden language, donation solicitations, or dark patterns are present.
• Implementation Drift Detection: Reviews recent CTO implementations against the latest approved design specifications.
• Accessibility Auditing: Actively flags potential accessibility issues (e.g., poor contrast, missing alt text) during its review cycle.
• Status Reporting: Reports the overall design status to key stakeholders (like the CEO) if critical milestones have changed or compliance issues are found.

Example Use Cases

• Pre-Release Audit: Run this agent before a major feature launch to ensure all UI copy is compliant and WCAG standards are met across all platforms.
• Sprint Monitoring: Schedule it to run every 60 minutes during an active sprint cycle to catch immediate deviations in implemented features.
• Compliance Check: Use it immediately after updating brand guidelines to verify that no legacy or forbidden language remains in any mockups.
