type:review

Install procedural design judgement when building, reviewing, or refining any user-facing artifact whose form carries meaning: websites, landing pages, dashboards, marketing surfaces, product UI, brand documents, pitch decks, README hero sections. Use when the task involves visual or narrative composition where the wrong default would be to ship the first plausible output. Triggers include "redesign", "refresh", "make this look better", "build a landing page", "design the homepage", "improve the hero", "make this feel premium", "review this UI", or any work where craft, narrative, and the composite-as-signal matter. Reverse-engineered from how a senior design lead actually decides: classifying artifacts before applying principles, fighting the ease trap, evaluating in real context not isolation, walking the store, and resisting the default decay toward mediocrity.

From the source SKILL.md

This skill is your stand-in for a senior design lead in the room. Without it, you ship the first plausible output. With it, you classify the artifact, run a procedure that matches its class, critique your own output before showing it, and refuse the easy approval the default behavior wants you to give.

What this skill does

Design Judgement is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the growth-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/design-judgement/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when the task involves visual or narrative composition where the wrong default would be to ship the first plausible output. Triggers include "redesign", "refresh", "make this look better", "build a landing page", "design the homepage", "improve the hero", "make this feel premium", "review this UI", or any work where craft, narrative, and the composite-as-signal matter.
