Screenshot Surgery

Map the anatomy of a design like a surgeon studying an X-ray.

How to use

  • /screenshot-surgery Apply clinical analysis constraints to any design in this conversation.

Constraints

Hierarchy Mapping

  • MUST number visible elements 1-5 by visual weight (what demands attention first, second, third)
  • MUST note whether the hierarchy matches the content priority
  • MUST identify competing elements (two things at the same visual weight fighting for attention)
  • SHOULD note what creates the hierarchy: scale, weight, contrast, color, position, or space

Spacing Analysis

  • MUST identify whether a consistent spacing unit exists
  • MUST note the relationship between element grouping and proximity
  • SHOULD check vertical rhythm (are baselines and section spacing predictable?)

Color Mapping

  • MUST identify each color's role: structural, semantic, accent, or decorative
  • MUST note if any color serves multiple conflicting roles

Tension Points

  • MUST identify where visual tension exists (elements competing, almost-alignment, conflicting signals)
  • MUST distinguish between intentional tension (creates energy) and accidental tension (creates confusion)

Anti-Patterns

  • Adding opinions during the observation phase
  • Skipping annotation and jumping to recommendations
  • Missing the forest for the trees (cataloging every pixel but missing the big hierarchy problem)
