canva-design-feedback
Read a Canva design and return structured, actionable design feedback — visual hierarchy, copy/messaging, layout & spacing, consistency, readability, and accessibility. Read-only; makes no changes to the design. Use when the user asks to "review my design", "give me feedback on this", "critique my deck/poster/flyer", "how can I improve this design", or "what's wrong with this slide".

# Get Design Feedback
Act as a design reviewer: read the design as it actually appears, then return concrete, prioritised feedback the user can act on. This skill is **read-only** — it never edits the design. When the user wants the changes made, hand off to `canva-edit-design` or `canva-implement-feedback`.
## What you can actually read (and the gap to know about)
- **`Canva:get-design-content`** returns text (`richtexts`) only — good for copy, headings, and wording, but it does NOT include colors, fonts, sizes, or element positions.
- **`Canva:get-design-thumbnail`** gives you the rendered image — this is how you "see" layout, hierarchy, balance, color, and contrast. Always pull this; visual critique depends on it.
- **Element positions, sizes, and text** are reliably available from a **read-only** editing transaction: `Canva:start-editing-transaction`, inspect the returned `richtexts`/`fills`, then `Canva:cancel-editing-transaction` (never commit — you are not changing anything). Use this for layout/spacing/alignment detail.
- **Colors and fonts are NOT reliably exposed.** Tested: the transaction payload often returns only text + position + dimension per element, with no color or font attributes. So treat the **thumbnail as the primary source** for any color, contrast, or typography judgement, and treat transaction style data as best-effort (use it when present, don't depend on it). Never report a specific hex/font as fact unless the payload actually contained it.
