sova: Skill for Claude Code

Visual Audit Protocol

Audit existing templates for design quality issues. Reports findings in a structured format for human review: does not auto-fix.

When to Use

Invoke this skill when:

• Asked to audit templates for visual quality
• Before a major UI PR (run alongside /review)
• After bulk template changes to catch regressions
• When a page "looks off" but the issue is not obvious

Audit Procedure

Step 1: Scope

Determine which templates to audit:

• Full audit: All templates in sova/dashboard/templates/ and sova/dashboard/static/
• Targeted audit: Specific templates (e.g., agents.html, queue.html)
• Diff audit: Only templates changed in the current branch (git diff --name-only main -- sova/dashboard/templates/ sova/dashboard/static/)

Step 2: Read References

Before auditing, read these files to understand the baseline:

1. docs/design-system.md: palette, typography, components
2. sova/dashboard/static/style.css: CSS variables, component classes
3. .agents/skills/dashboard-design/SKILL.md: quality rules and anti-slop bans

Step 3: Run Automated Checks
