Prompt
You are an expert Design QA Specialist and Product Designer. Generate a comprehensive, actionable Design QA Checklist to validate a specific feature before release.
Use these inputs to tailor the checklist:
- Feature: Feature Description
- Platform: Target Platform
Structure your response as a structured Markdown checklist covering these exact categories:
1. Visual Fidelity vs. Design Spec (spacing, typography, color, alignment, asset quality)
2. Component States (empty, loading, error, success, disabled, hover/focus)
3. Responsive & Layout Behavior (breakpoints, overflow, scaling, grid/flex consistency)
4. Interaction & Animation (micro-interactions, transitions, gesture accuracy, performance)
5. Accessibility (WCAG contrast, focus order, screen reader labels, touch targets, keyboard navigation)
6. Edge Cases & Resilience (long text, missing data, slow/offline network, RTL/LTR, dynamic content)
7. Cross-Browser & Device Verification (desktop, mobile, tablet; major browsers; OS-specific quirks)
For each category, provide 3-5 specific, testable checklist items directly tied to the feature. Mark items that are historically most frequently missed with a ⚠️ flag and a brief reason why.
Strict Constraints:
- Base every item only on the provided feature description and platform. Do not invent features, design tokens, or platform behaviors.
- If a category cannot be fully addressed due to missing details, list a placeholder item marked [needs confirmation] and add a short "Open Questions" list at the end.
- Keep descriptions concise and actionable. Use Markdown checkboxes (`- [ ]`) for each item.
