Color Contrast
All text elements pass AA — 2 AAA failures in captions
Focus Management
Keyboard navigation logical — focus ring visible
ARIA Labels
4 icon buttons missing aria-label
Heading Hierarchy
Consistent H1→H3 — no skipped levels
Form Labels
All inputs have associated visible labels
Design system research and benchmarking
Deeply research how leading product teams structure their design systems — token architecture, component APIs, versioning strategies, and governance models. Build evidence-based proposals for your own system.
Compare the token architecture of IBM Carbon Design System, Salesforce Lightning, and Material Design 3. How do they handle multi-brand theming and dark mode tokens?
Compiled comparison across all 3 systems. Carbon uses a 3-tier token structure (global → alias → component). Lightning uses semantic tokens with brand slots. MD3 introduces dynamic color roles mapped to system palette. All support dark mode via semantic alias tokens, not raw values.
Accessibility auditing
Run automated accessibility and performance audits against WCAG standards for any URL. Identify contrast failures, missing ARIA labels, keyboard navigation gaps, and focus management issues across your product interfaces.
Audit the checkout flow on our e-commerce platform for WCAG 2.2 AA compliance. Flag any color contrast failures, missing form labels, and focus order issues.
Audit complete. Found 6 issues: 3 contrast failures on disabled button states (ratio 2.8:1, needs 4.5:1), 2 form inputs missing visible labels (using placeholder only), 1 modal with broken focus trap. Severity scores and remediation guidance included.

Disabled Button Contrast
3× failures at 2.8:1 — needs 4.5:1 min
Form Labels
2 inputs using placeholder-only — no visible label
Modal Focus Trap
Focus escapes modal to background — broken trap
Skip-to-Content Link
Missing — keyboard users cannot bypass nav
Body Text Contrast
All body text passes AA at 7.1:1
Competitive UI analysis
Systematically analyze competitor product interfaces — navigation patterns, information architecture, component patterns, and onboarding flows. Use structured research to identify design opportunities.
Analyze the information architecture and navigation patterns of Notion, Linear, and Coda. How do they structure their primary navigation, sidebar hierarchy, and command palette UX?
Completed IA analysis. Notion: flat hierarchy in sidebar with nested pages. Linear: issue-first model, workspace hierarchy via breadcrumb. Coda: doc-as-app with collapsible page tree. All use command palette (CMD+K) but with different scope models — Linear scopes to workspace, Notion scopes globally.
Performance monitoring and core vitals
Run Lighthouse-style page speed audits across all key user journeys. Track Core Web Vitals — LCP, CLS, FID — and identify the specific components and network requests degrading performance.
Run performance audits on our dashboard, settings page, and report builder. I need LCP, CLS, and TTI scores plus the top 5 blocking resources for each.
Audited 3 pages. Dashboard: LCP 2.3s (good), CLS 0.08 (needs improvement), TTI 4.1s. Settings: LCP 1.8s, clean CLS. Report builder: LCP 5.2s (poor) — blocked by 3 undeferred render-blocking scripts totalling 840KB.

Technical documentation research
Pull accurate, version-specific documentation for UI frameworks, component libraries, and accessibility APIs. Get the exact implementation details needed without hunting through outdated StackOverflow answers.
Fetch the Radix UI Dialog component documentation for version 1.1, including all props, accessibility attributes, and the recommended focus management pattern.
Retrieved Dialog docs for v1.1. Props: open (controlled), onOpenChange, modal. Accessibility: uses aria-dialog, auto-focuses first interactive element, traps focus, restores focus on close. Includes WAI-ARIA authoring pattern reference for modal dialogs.
ToolRouter search_docs
Controlled Props
open: boolean · onOpenChange: (open: boolean) => void
Focus on Open
Auto-focuses first focusable element — override via autoFocus
Focus Trap
Tab + Shift+Tab cycle within modal boundaries
Focus Restore
Returns focus to trigger element on close
ARIA
role=dialog · aria-modal=true · aria-labelledby required

Audit accessibility
Run a WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility audit on https://example.com/dashboard. Flag color contrast failures, missing ARIA labels, focus management issues, and keyboard navigation gaps. Provide remediation recommendations for each.
Design system research
Research the component API design patterns used in Radix UI, Headless UI, and Ariakit. How do they handle controlled vs uncontrolled state, polymorphic rendering, and composition? What can I learn for building our own primitives?
Performance audit
Run a Lighthouse audit on the home page and product listing page of our SaaS app. Return LCP, CLS, TTI, and TBT scores, plus the top render-blocking resources.
Library docs
Fetch the latest React Query v5 documentation for the useQuery hook. Include all options, return values, and the difference between staleTime and gcTime.
Competitive IA analysis
Analyze the information architecture and navigation design of Figma, Sketch, and Adobe XD. Compare their workspace organization, layer hierarchy models, and plugin panel UX.
Find design system jobs
Find senior UI architect and design systems engineer roles at SaaS companies with 500+ employees. I specialize in React component libraries, design tokens, and accessibility.
Screenshot competitor UI
Take full-page screenshots of the onboarding flow for Slack, Discord, and Teams. I need to compare their step-by-step UI patterns.
Research component patterns
What are the current best practices for building accessible data tables with sorting, filtering, and pagination in React? Include ARIA patterns, keyboard navigation, and virtualization approaches for large datasets.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a UI architect and how is it different from a UI designer?
A UI architect focuses on the structural and systemic aspects of interface design: design systems, token architecture, component APIs, accessibility frameworks, and cross-team governance. A UI designer typically works on the visual and interaction design of individual features. UI architects often work at a higher level of abstraction and influence how whole product teams build interfaces.
How can AI tools help with WCAG accessibility auditing?
The SEO Analysis and Page Speed tools run automated Lighthouse-based audits that surface WCAG-relevant issues including color contrast, missing ARIA attributes, and keyboard navigation problems. These should be complemented by manual testing with screen readers, as automated tools catch roughly 30–40% of real-world accessibility failures.
Can I use Library Docs to stay current with fast-moving UI frameworks?
Yes — Library Docs retrieves version-specific documentation for any npm library. This is especially useful when working across multiple projects that pin to different versions of React, Next.js, Radix, Tailwind, or other UI primitives.
How do I use competitor research for UI architecture decisions?
Competitor Research generates structured intelligence on how competing products are built and positioned. For UI architecture, the most useful signals are the frameworks they use (visible in job listings and engineering blogs), their design system documentation (if public), and patterns observed through web scraping and screenshot analysis.
