How it works

Bring your own material

1. Share the interface

Attach a screenshot or paste relevant interface text or code. Explain what the user is trying to do.

2. Name the problem

Ask about hierarchy, navigation, copy, accessibility or a specific interaction.

3. Review the suggestions

Check the proposed changes against your product and test them with real users. A critique is not a usability study.

A small example

Synthetic text review
A confirmation screen has Yes and No buttons. Yes copies a draft, shows “Copied!” before the write finishes, and clears the draft if copying fails. It says “Nothing leaves your phone until you say yes.”
  1. Wait for success. Show the toast after the clipboard write succeeds. Test rejected writes.
  2. Keep the draft. Preserve text after a failure so the person can retry.
  3. Check the promise. Verify actual data flows before claiming that nothing leaves the device.

Condensed results from a text-only trial of the v0.1.1 candidate. Visual, accessibility and runtime behavior were not tested by this example.

FAQ

What can I review?

Screenshots, interface copy, and code you provide. Ask for a focused critique with concrete improvements.

Does it fetch AppLlama content?

No. External AppLlama access is disabled. Supply the material you want reviewed.

Do I need an API key or server?

The plugin is skills-only and does not require its own server or API key. Your Codex account and model processing still apply.

Which version is available?

Version 0.1.1 is published on GitHub. The plugin directory listing remains a draft and has not been submitted.

What should I avoid sharing?

Remove private task names, credentials and personal information from screenshots or code before submitting them. This is not a separate privacy guarantee for Codex processing.
