54
+ ## Review UI code like a PR bot
55
+
56
+ The `review` command checks React code against deterministic UI and UX rules: native elements your design system already replaces, hardcoded colors and raw palette classes, `dark:` forks, generated-UI tells (letter-spaced capital labels, left-border callout boxes, gradient text, labels above titles, em dashes in copy), and WCAG basics. The same input always produces the same findings.
57
+
58
+ ```bash
59
+ npx better-design review # review changed files (vs HEAD, plus untracked)
60
+ npx better-design review src/components # review specific files or folders
61
+ npx better-design review --base main # review a branch, like a PR diff
62
+ npx better-design review --json # machine-readable output for CI
63
+ ```
64
+
65
+ The command exits 1 when it finds critical or serious issues, so it works as a CI gate. Tune the threshold with `--fail-on critical|serious|moderate|none`.
66
+
67
+ Put your agent on rails: install the Claude Code hook and every file write is checked in real time, with violations fed back to the agent so it self-corrects without your intervention.
68
+
69
+ ```bash
70
+ npx better-design review --install-hook
71
+ ```
72
+
73
+ Override the default rules per project in `.better-design/review.config.json`. For example, point element rules at your own component paths, or turn a rule group off:
74
+
75
+ ```json
76
+ {
77
+ "rules": {
78
+ "elements": {
79
+ "button": { "use": "Button", "from": "@/ui/button" }
80
+ },
81
+ "semanticTokens": { "enabled": false }
82
+ }
83
+ }
84
+ ```
85
+
86
+ Agents can run the same checks through the `review-ui-code` MCP tool and fix the findings before presenting the result.
87
+
88
+ ### Review every pull request
89
+
90
+ Add this workflow to review UI code on each pull request. It fails the check when it finds critical or serious issues:
91
+
92
+ ```yaml
93
+ name: UI review
94
+ on: pull_request
95
+ jobs:
96
+ review:
97
+ runs-on: ubuntu-latest
98
+ steps:
99
+ - uses: actions/checkout@v4
100
+ with:
101
+ fetch-depth: 0
102
+ - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
103
+ with:
104
+ node-version: "lts/*"
105
+ - name: Review the changed UI code
106
+ env:
107
+ BASE_REF: ${{ github.base_ref }}
108
+ run: npx -y better-design@^0.19 review --base "$(git merge-base "origin/${BASE_REF}" HEAD)"
109
+ ```
110
+
111
+ The `review` command needs version 0.19.0 or later, which the version range pins. Pass the branch through the environment rather than interpolating it into the script: a branch name is text a contributor controls, and `${{ }}` would place it straight into your shell.
112
+
113
+ To post the findings as review comments instead of failing the check, add `--json`, write the output to a file, and hand it to a script that calls the GitHub API. Better Design's own repository does this in `.github/workflows/ui-review.yml`.
