UX Design Patrol¶

Detect UI/UX design drift in recent commits and file a consolidation report.

Workflow source: gh-aw-ux-design-patrol.md

How it works¶

Scans recent commits (7-day lookback by default) for user-facing patterns that duplicate or conflict with patterns already established elsewhere in the codebase. Checks output formatting, prompts, CLI flags, status representations, help text, and other user-visible elements before filing a low-noise, high-signal consolidation report.
