# Web Interface Guidelines

Review files for compliance with Web Interface Guidelines.

## How It Works

1. Fetch the latest guidelines from the source URL below
2. Read the specified files (or prompt user for files/pattern)
3. Check against all rules in the fetched guidelines
4. Output findings in the terse `file:line` format

## Guidelines Source

Fetch fresh guidelines before each review:

```
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vercel-labs/web-interface-guidelines/main/command.md
```

Use WebFetch to retrieve the latest rules. The fetched content contains all the rules and output format instructions.

## Usage

When a user provides a file or pattern argument:
1. Fetch guidelines from the source URL above
2. Read the specified files
3. Apply all rules from the fetched guidelines
4. Output findings using the format specified in the guidelines

If no files specified, ask the user which files to review.

Description

"Review my UI" is a request most agents answer with vibes. This skill turns it into a checklist run against a published, versioned rulebook: Vercel's Web Interface Guidelines, covering accessibility, keyboard and pointer interaction, form behaviour, motion, layout and front-end performance.

The design choice worth noting is that the skill does not embed the rules. It fetches them fresh from the vercel-labs/web-interface-guidelines repository at the start of every review, so an audit run today uses today's guidelines rather than whatever was current when the skill was installed. That keeps a fast-moving standard from silently going stale inside your project.

Output is deliberately terse — findings in file:line form, no essay around each one — which makes the result easy to work through and easy to feed straight back into the agent as a fix list. You pass a file or a glob; if you do not, the skill asks which files to review rather than guessing at the whole repository.

Typical triggers are "review my UI", "check accessibility", "audit design" and "check my site against best practices". It is the review counterpart to Vercel's React Best Practices skill: that one shapes how the code is written, this one checks what the interface actually does. MIT-licensed, maintained by Vercel.
