MUST USE after building/changing any UI or when asked whether a page, component, or TUI looks right. Rigorous visual QA across web/page and terminal UIs. Prefer browser:control-in-app-browser for unauthenticated browser/page QA in Codex, then Playwright/agent-browser/dev-browser. Captures screenshot/TUI evidence with bundled diff scripts, runs design-system/functional and visual-fidelity/CJK reviewer passes, then synthesizes a good/bad verdict. Triggers: visual QA, screenshot/pixel diff, UI looks wrong, reference fidelity, design system check, responsive check, CJK text clipping, TUI alignment, box-drawing drift.
Use ast-grep (sg) for AST-aware code search and rewrite across 25 languages. Trigger for structural code matching or deterministic codemods: find every function/call/class/import shaped like X, rewrite console.log to logger.info, strip `as any`, migrate require() to import, find empty catch blocks or missing await, and scan/apply YAML rules. Prefer this over rg/grep when the target is syntax shape rather than text; use rg for string contents, comments, filenames, or regex-style byte searches.
MUST USE for frontend/web UI/UX/visual work: building, styling, redesigning pages/components, React setup, performance audits, visual QA, taste, and polish. Routes four rulesets: design taste router and brand references; perfection for Playwright/Chromium Lighthouse/Core Web Vitals; ui-ux-db palettes/fonts/guidelines; designpowers personas/accessibility/critique/handoff; plus curl-only lazyweb real-app-screen research and the beui.dev interaction catalog. Triggers: frontend, UI, UX, design, redesign, styling, layout, animation, motion, interaction, micro-interaction, make it feel alive, premium, luxury, minimal, brutalist, Awwwards, DESIGN.md, mockup, React, Lighthouse, accessibility, WCAG, Core Web Vitals, looks generic, make it pretty, like X brand, lazyweb, design research.
