Does it work with Figma and Sketch files?

Yes, it is specifically configured to apply to .figma and .sketch file contexts as well as textual design specifications and reviews.

Can this skill help me pass design reviews?

Yes, it acts as a pre-review audit tool that catches common mistakes that professional designers flag, such as lazy symmetry, default font choices, and lack of visual hierarchy.

What exactly is 'design slop'?

Design slop refers to generic, uninspired, and repetitive visual and structural patterns often produced by AI generators or overused templates, such as purple-cyan mesh gradients and vague 'Empower your business' headlines.

When should I avoid using this skill?

You should skip this skill when you are intentionally following a specific brand guideline that happens to use common patterns, or when working within highly standardized systems like Material Design where 'generic' is a functional requirement.
