Individual skill
experience-design-validate
Use this skill to run a visual-craft audit of a rendered UI and produce an evidence-grounded Craft Report across Useful, Usable, Reliable, Coherent, and Well-Crafted. Invoke it for craft audits, visual critiques, design comparisons, felt-quality reviews, or visual-craft readiness checks on screenshots (.png, .jpg, .jpeg, .webp, .gif), Figma frames, rendered prototypes, and live URLs. Do not use it for source-code review, SLDS compliance (use design-systems-slds-validate), or accessibility compliance (use experience-accessibility-validate).

# Experience Design Validate
Evaluate the visual craft of rendered software: what the eye sees and the felt quality those visible decisions create. Judge relationships, hierarchy, restraint, consistency, and care rather than CSS, tokens, or implementation technique.
This is a **visual-craft-only** audit. It does not establish WCAG conformance, keyboard or screen-reader support, behavioral usability, implementation quality, or production release readiness. Route accessibility compliance to `experience-accessibility-validate` and SLDS compliance to `design-systems-slds-validate`.
## Use and boundaries
Use this skill to:
- Critique visual craft at a design checkpoint.
- Explain why a rendered design feels considered, cramped, calm, fragmented, or delightful.
- Compare the craft of two or more designs solving the same brief.
- Identify design moves that would lift a visible experience from good to great.
