→ "Add to design system as new accent color?"

System-compliant options:

Color selection:
- Brand palette priorities
- Accessibility-compliant combinations
- Semantic color meanings
- Dark mode considerations

Typography choices:
- Hierarchy-appropriate sizes
- Weight combinations that work
- Line height optimization
- Reading experience improvements

Context-Aware Refinements

1

User Context Application

Edits informed by your user research:
Editing suggestions based on user data:

"Users often miss this button"
→ Increase size and contrast
→ Add icon for better recognition
→ Move to more prominent location

"Mobile users struggle with this form"
→ Larger touch targets
→ Simplified input methods
→ Better error messaging

"Users expect this action here"
→ Relocate to standard position
→ Use familiar interaction pattern
→ Add supporting context

Automatic accessibility enhancements:

Color contrast: Suggest WCAG-compliant alternatives
Touch targets: Ensure 44px minimum size
Focus indicators: Add visible focus states
Screen readers: Improve alt text and labels
Keyboard navigation: Enhance tab order
2

Technical Context Integration

Edits that consider implementation reality:
Performance-aware suggestions:

Image optimization:
"Large image detected" → "Compress or use WebP format?"

Animation efficiency:
"Complex animation" → "Use CSS transforms for better performance?"

Layout optimization:
"Nested flexbox" → "Consider CSS Grid for this layout?"
3

Brand Context Maintenance

Keep edits aligned with brand guidelines:
Brand consistency checks:

Color usage:
"Off-brand color detected"
→ Show nearest brand-compliant alternatives
→ Explain color meaning and usage

Typography hierarchy:
"Heading level inconsistent"
→ Suggest proper hierarchy level
→ Show content structure implications

Component patterns:
"Custom component created"
→ Check against existing patterns
→ Suggest standardization opportunities
