interface-design audit

Usage

/audit <path>     # Audit specific file/directory
/audit            # Audit common UI paths

What to Check

If .vscode/interface-design/system.md exists:

1. Spacing violations

   • Find spacing values not on defined grid
   • Example: 17px when base is 4px

2. Depth violations

   • Borders-only system → flag shadows
   • Subtle system → flag layered shadows
   • Allow ring shadows (0 0 0 1px)

3. Color violations

   • If palette defined → flag colors not in palette
   • Allow semantic grays

4. Pattern drift

   • Find buttons not matching Button pattern
   • Find cards not matching Card pattern

Report format:

Audit Results: src/components/

Violations:
  Button.tsx:12 - Height 38px (pattern: 36px)
  Card.tsx:8 - Shadow used (system: borders-only)
  Input.tsx:20 - Spacing 14px (grid: 4px, nearest: 12px or 16px)

Suggestions:
  - Update Button height to match pattern
  - Replace shadow with border
  - Adjust spacing to grid

If no system.md:

No design system to audit against.

Create a system first:
1. Build UI → establish system automatically
2. Run /extract → create system from existing code

Implementation

1. Check for system.md
2. Parse system rules
3. Read target files (tsx, jsx, css, scss)
4. Compare against rules
5. Report violations with suggestions
