What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps you review how a product, interface, or CLI competes for human attention so important signals are noticed, low-value interruptions are reduced, and users are not trained to ignore warnings.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Signal Inventory and Classification: Catalogs notifications, prompts, logs, banners, modals, and status indicators, then maps each to alert, awareness, or decision-support roles.
- Interruption and Salience Review: Evaluates whether severity, urgency, and actionability are matched to the right channel and whether the most attention-grabbing message is truly the most important.
- Accessibility and Habituation Audit: Flags color-only or sound-only signaling, repeated low-value alerts, redundant multi-channel messages, and warning patterns that cause users to tune out.
- Use Case: Use it when users keep missing critical warnings, when a dashboard or CLI emits too many noisy messages, or when a design team needs concrete recommendations to suppress, demote, coalesce, defer, or promote signals.
Quick Start
Ask the attention-design-review skill to audit your app's notifications, logs, and warnings for interruption cost, salience, and alert fatigue.
