Flows Design Review

This is step 3 of the Flows app certification flow:

flows-app-brief  →  build  →  flows-code-review  →  flows-design-review (this skill)  →  flows-external-app-submit

This is the manual design quality assessment described in docs.cognite.com/cdf/flows/guides/quality-guidelines. Target overall average: 3.8 or higher to be launch-ready.

Operating rules

• Automate first, ask second. For every question Q1–Q10, run the probes listed below to gather hard evidence from the repo and propose a draft score (1–5) with rationale before asking the user. The user's job is to confirm or override the proposed score, not to grade from scratch. This dramatically reduces the manual burden.
• The task walkthrough (Step 2) is the one part that cannot be skipped — automation cannot tell whether a user "gets lost" navigating a screen. Capture it manually and use it to override the auto-derived scores where lived experience disagrees.
• Use AskQuestion for every score so answers are structured. For each question present three options: (a) accept the draft score, (b) override with a specific score, (c) override + add a note.
• Pre-fill user, tasks, and persona context from App-Brief.md frontmatter when present.
