  Reviews Godot UI/Control implementation for known pitfalls.
  Triggers AFTER implementation, when code involves Control, Container, HBoxContainer,
  VBoxContainer, GridContainer, MarginContainer, ScrollContainer, PanelContainer,
  Button, Label, LineEdit, TextEdit, OptionButton, TabContainer, CanvasLayer,
  Theme, StyleBox, focus_mode, mouse_filter, grab_focus, or gui_input.

UI Review

Post-implementation reviewer for Godot UI code.

When to trigger

After UI-related code is written or modified. Look for:

• Container nodes (HBox, VBox, Grid, Margin, Panel, Center, Scroll, Tab, Split)
• Control properties (focus_mode, mouse_filter, custom_minimum_size, scale)
• Theme resources or theme overrides
• Focus navigation (grab_focus, focus_neighbor_*)
• CanvasLayer with UI content
• z_index on Control nodes

Review process

1. Read `gotchas.md` 2. Scan the implemented code against each gotcha 3. For each hit: cite gotcha ID, show offending code, provide fix 4. If no hits, report clean 5. Optionally run `checklist.md` static checks

When you need specific API details, delegate to the **godot-api** skill.
