## What it does

The skill reviews a Canva design page by page. It checks visual hierarchy, layout, copy, consistency, legibility, contrast, accessibility, and fit for the intended format. Findings receive a severity and a concrete fix, with the most important issues shown first.

It uses `Canva:get-design` for the design record, `Canva:get-design-thumbnail` to inspect the rendered appearance, and `Canva:get-design-content` for text. A read-only transaction can provide element positions, dimensions, and text; the workflow then ends it with `Canva:cancel-editing-transaction`. The thumbnail remains the main basis for colour and typography judgements because transaction style data may be incomplete.

This is a read-only skill: it never edits or commits changes to the design. Requested changes can be handed to `canva-edit-design` or `canva-implement-feedback`, while some font or background edits still require manual work in Canva.
