Product Design Review

Compliance

• Check against GOLD Industry Standards guide in ~/.codex/AGENTS.override.md

Overview

Deliver a complete, user-centered critique of a product or flow, identifying issues, risks, and improvements across the entire experience.

Philosophy

• Users optimize for progress, not features; reduce friction at decision points.
• Clarity beats cleverness; make the next action obvious.
• Trust is earned in small moments; avoid surprise and hidden costs.

Pre-Review Questions

Ask only what is needed to avoid blocking:

• What is the product, target audience, and primary success metric?
• Which flow(s) should be reviewed (e.g., onboarding, purchase, search, settings)?
• What artifacts are available (screens, links, prototypes, analytics, support tickets)?
• Any constraints (platform, tech, brand, deadlines)?
