Measure rendered UI layout with reproducible spatial metrics and a separately assessed usability review; distinguish measurements from subjective judgments and user tests.

When to use

• Use to catch AI-generated UI that "looks off", is misaligned or centered-mush, or fails usability — when you need reproducible spatial measurements and an evidence-based usability review. Metrics do not prove user success, accessibility or…

When not to use

• Layout metrics and vision-judged audits catch many spatial and usability failures, but they are not a substitute for product judgment or user testing.
• The workflow requires a rendered UI or screenshot; record viewport, scale, fonts, capture state and measurement definitions. Separate layout measurements, subjective vision judgments and actual user/accessibility tests.
• The linked sub-skills and layout-audit.js are external, not bundled. Read and pin them before use; the link is not executable availability. Delegation requires existing explicit authorization, and screenshots may contain private data.
• Automated scoring can miss brand nuance, copy tone, accessibility needs, and domain-specific user expectations.
