Web Design Guidelines (Vercel)

Overview

Use this skill to audit UI code against Vercel’s Web Interface Guidelines. Focus on accessibility, focus states, forms, performance, and interaction rules.

When to Use

• Reviewing UI for accessibility or UX issues
• Auditing new components for best practices
• Checking forms, dialogs, focus, or navigation behavior
• Verifying design consistency and interaction rules

How It Works

1. Fetch the latest rules from: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vercel-labs/web-interface-guidelines/main/command.md
2. Read the specified files or ask which files to review
3. Compare code against the rules
4. Report findings using the output format in the guidelines

Quick Reference

• Accessibility: aria-labels, semantic HTML, keyboard handlers
• Focus: visible focus, focus-visible, trap in dialogs
• Forms: labels, validation, error messaging
• Navigation: URL state, deep-linking, internal links
• Performance: image sizing, lazy loading, layout stability

Example Trigger

"Review this modal for accessibility and focus handling." → Use this skill to fetch guidelines and audit the modal component.

Common Mistakes

• Skipping the guideline fetch and relying on memory
• Reviewing without the file list or pattern
• Ignoring the required output format
