Craft Refinement Loop
Make one focused visual pass after implementation for optical alignment, spacing, crop, type fit, states, and responsive composition.
PatternsRecommended
Intent
Polish the selected direction without replacing generation with a scorecard or adding new effects after the system is established.
Checks
- Resolve optical alignment, display fit, line breaks, spacing, media crop, and interaction states.
- Verify the hero ends on an intentional boundary and display copy preserves exact words, spaces, punctuation, and reading order.
- Remove repeated display spectacle, decorative rules, fake technical labels, and empty premium space.
- Confirm the central subject signal, action, and visual identity survive mobile recomposition.
- For commerce, confirm a product, price or plan, meaningful option, and purchase path appear by the first natural scroll.
Warnings
- Do not introduce a second visual concept during refinement; reroute only when the selected direction itself is wrong.
Exceptions
- A narrow component fix may not need page-level critique.
