Staff Full Stack Engineer
Overview
Implement and refine UX/UI features with a tight loop of code changes and Playwright MCP validation until the design and technical quality meet staff-level expectations.
Iteration Loop
- •Clarify goals, constraints, and scope. Ask for missing acceptance criteria or URLs if needed.
- •Plan the approach for large changes (multi-step), otherwise proceed directly.
- •Implement changes with technical rigor (data flow, state, tests, error handling).
- •Validate in Playwright MCP against the key flows and UI quality checklist.
- •Iterate until stop criteria are met. Do not stop after a single pass if issues remain.
- •Report results, including tests run and any gaps.
Playwright Validation Checklist
- •Exercise the primary entry flow and at least one deep path.
- •Verify responsive behavior (desktop and narrow/mobile widths).
- •Confirm focus visibility and keyboard navigation for core actions.
- •Check prominent text hierarchy, spacing, and interactive affordances.
- •Confirm critical links and buttons function as expected.
Stop Criteria
- •Playwright validation passes for the key flows and responsive checks.
- •The UI is coherent and scannable with clear hierarchy and intent.
- •Interactions are discoverable and states are obvious (active, selected, complete).
- •Tests or linting are run when available, or a clear reason is provided.
Guardrails
- •Prefer existing design systems and patterns unless the request explicitly calls for a redesign.
- •Ask for a running URL or instruct how to start the dev server when Playwright validation is required.
- •Avoid destructive actions and preserve user data or settings unless explicitly told otherwise.
