E -->|Yes| B
E -->|No| F[Completion Report]
Step 1: Information Gathering Phase
1.1 URL Confirmation
If the URL is not provided, ask the user:
Please provide the URL of the website to review (e.g.,
http://localhost:3000)
1.2 Understanding Project Structure
When making fixes, gather the following information:
| Item | Example Question |
|---|---|
| Framework | Are you using React / Vue / Next.js, etc.? |
| Styling Method | CSS / SCSS / Tailwind / CSS-in-JS, etc. |
| Source Location | Where are style files and components located? |
| Review Scope | Specific pages only or entire site? |
1.3 Automatic Project Detection
Attempt automatic detection from files in the workspace:
Detection targets:
├── package.json → Framework and dependencies
├── tsconfig.json → TypeScript usage
├── tailwind.config → Tailwind CSS
├── next.config → Next.js
├── vite.config → Vite
├── nuxt.config → Nuxt
└── src/ or app/ → Source directory
1.4 Identifying Styling Method
| Method | Detection | Edit Target |
|---|---|---|
| Pure CSS | *.css files | Global CSS or component CSS |
| SCSS/Sass | *.scss, *.sass | SCSS files |
| CSS Modules | *.module.css | Module CSS files |
| Tailwind CSS | tailwind.config.* | className in components |
| styled-components | styled. in code | JS/TS files |
| Emotion | @emotion/ imports | JS/TS files |
| CSS-in-JS (other) | Inline styles | JS/TS files |
Step 2: Visual Inspection Phase
2.1 Page Traversal
- Navigate to the specified URL
- Capture screenshots
- Retrieve DOM structure/snapshot (if possible)
- If additional pages exist, traverse through navigation
2.2 Inspection Items
Layout Issues
| Issue | Description | Severity |
|---|---|---|
| Element Overflow | Content overflows from parent element or viewport | High |
| Element Overlap | Unintended overlapping of elements | High |
| Alignment Issues | Grid or flex alignment problems | Medium |
| Inconsistent Spacing | Padding/margin inconsistencies | Medium |
| Text Clipping | Long text not handled properly | Medium |
Responsive Issues
| Issue | Description | Severity |
|---|---|---|
| Non-mobile Friendly | Layout breaks on small screens | High |
| Breakpoint Issues | Unnatural transitions when screen size changes | Medium |
| Touch Targets | Buttons too small on mobile | Medium |
Accessibility Issues
| Issue | Description | Severity |
|---|---|---|
| Insufficient Contrast | Low contrast ratio between text and background | High |
| No Focus State | Cannot determine state during keyboard navigation | High |
| Missing alt Text | No alternative text for images | Medium |
Visual Consistency
| Issue | Description | Severity |
|---|---|---|
| Font Inconsistency | Mixed font families | Medium |
| Color Inconsistency | Non-unified brand colors | Medium |
| Spacing Inconsistency | Non-uniform spacing between similar elements | Low |
2.3 Viewport Testing (Responsive)
Test at the following viewports:
| Name | Width | Representative Device |
|---|---|---|
| Mobile | 375px | iPhone SE/12 mini |
| Tablet | 768px | iPad |
| Desktop | 1280px | Standard PC |
| Wide | 1920px | Large display |
Step 3: Issue Fixing Phase
3.1 Issue Prioritization
block-beta
columns 1
block:priority["Priority Matrix"]
P1["P1: Fix Immediately\n(Layout issues affecting functionality)"]
P2["P2: Fix Next\n(Visual issues degrading UX)"]
P3["P3: Fix If Possible\n(Minor visual inconsistencies)"]
end
3.2 Identifying Source Files
Identify source files from problematic elements:
-
Selector-based Search
- Search codebase by class name or ID
- Explore style definitions with
grep_search
-
Component-based Search
- Identify components from element text or structure
- Explore related files with
semantic_search
-
File Pattern Filtering
Style files: src/**/*.css, styles/**/* Components: src/components/**/* Pages: src/pages/**, app/**
3.3 Applying Fixes
Framework-specific Fix Guidelines
See references/framework-fixes.md for details.
Fix Principles
- Minimal Changes: Only make the minimum changes necessary to resolve the issue
- Respect Existing Patterns: Follow existing code style in the project
- Avoid Breaking Changes: Be careful not to affect other areas
- Add Comments: Add comments to explain the reason for fixes where appropriate
Step 4: Re-verification Phase
4.1 Post-fix Confirmation
- Reload browser (or wait for development server HMR)
- Capture screenshots of fixed areas
- Compare before and after
4.2 Regression Testing
- Verify that fixes haven't affected other areas
- Confirm responsive display is not broken
4.3 Iteration Decision

Best Practices
DO (Recommended)
- ✅ Always save screenshots before making fixes
- ✅ Fix one issue at a time and verify each
- ✅ Follow the project's existing code style
- ✅ Confirm with user before major changes
- ✅ Document fix details thoroughly
DON'T (Not Recommended)
- ❌ Large-scale refactoring without confirmation
- ❌ Ignoring design systems or brand guidelines
- ❌ Fixes that ignore performance
- ❌ Fixing multiple issues at once (difficult to verify)
Troubleshooting
Problem: Style files not found
- Check dependencies in
package.json - Consider the possibility of CSS-in-JS
- Consider CSS generated at build time
- Ask user about styling method
Problem: Fixes not reflected
- Check if development server HMR is working
- Clear browser cache
- Rebuild if project requires build
- Check CSS specificity issues
Problem: Fixes affecting other areas
- Rollback changes
- Use more specific selectors
- Consider using CSS Modules or scoped styles
- Consult user to confirm impact scope
