How to use

1Replace [design/project] with your specific design (e.g., "our new checkout flow" or "mobile app onboarding screens")
2If you have design files: Upload screenshots or Figma links. Say "Create a critique framework for these designs: [describe or paste screenshots]"
3Add context before the prompt: Describe what you want to evaluate. Example: "This is a redesign of our login flow. Focus areas: Usability, accessibility, conversion rate."
4If you have design goals: Specify what success looks like. Say "Evaluate if this design achieves: [goal 1], [goal 2]"
5Paste the modified prompt into your preferred AI tool, like ChatGPT or Claude (preferably with vision if using screenshots)
6Review the framework: Check critique structure, evaluation criteria, and feedback format
7Use the framework: Apply it to your design critique sessions with your team
8Customize as needed: Ask "Add more criteria for [specific aspect]" or "Focus on accessibility feedback format"

Pro Tips

• Include design screenshots: Upload designs for AI to analyze and create targeted critique criteria
• Specify critique focus: Mention "Focus on usability and accessibility" or "Evaluate visual design and consistency"
• Request actionability: Ask "Make all feedback actionable with specific improvement suggestions"
• For team critiques: Mention "Create framework for team design reviews" for collaborative feedback structure
• Save framework as template: Reuse the structure for future design critiques
