Figma Design Review Skill
Runs a structured PM design review — checking that a design meets product requirements, covers all user flows, and is ready for engineering. This is a requirements-and-outcomes review, not an aesthetic critique.
Required Inputs
- Design description or screen summary
- Original requirements (PRD snippet, ticket, or acceptance criteria)
- User flow being designed
- Review stage (concept / mid-fidelity / pre-handoff final)
Output Structure
1. Review Header
Feature, review stage, reviewed by, date. Overall status: Approved / Approved with changes / Needs revision
2. Requirements Coverage Check
| Requirement | Covered? | Notes | |---|---|---| | [Requirement from PRD] | Yes/No/Partial | [Specific observation] |
Missing coverage summary: [Requirements not addressed — must resolve before approval]
3. User Flow Completeness
| Flow step | Designed? | Issues | |---|---|---| | [Step] | Yes/No/Partial | [Issue] | | Error state | Yes/No | | | Empty state | Yes/No | | | Loading state | Yes/No | |
4. PM Concerns
[Concern] — Blocking / Should fix / Nice to fix
- What: [Specific observation]
- Why it matters: [Business or user impact — not aesthetic preference]
- Suggested resolution: [What PM wants to see]
5. Open Questions
| Question | Owner | Needed by | |---|---|---| | [Question] | Designer/Eng/PM | [Date] |
6. Approval Decision
Approved / Approved with changes (list) / Needs revision (focus area + next review date)
Quality Checks
- [ ] Every requirement assessed
- [ ] All flow states checked (error, empty, loading)
