SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill identifies where an interface fails as a designed experience by evaluating visual hierarchy, information architecture, cognitive load, emotional journey, states, copy, and accessibility so teams know what to fix first and why.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Heuristic Scoring: Produces Nielsen-style scores across 10 heuristics with a total score and rating band to benchmark quality.
  • AI Anti-Pattern Detection: Detects AI-generated design tells and other common anti-patterns that reduce trust and clarity.
  • Persona-Based Red Flags: Runs persona walk-throughs (power user, first-timer, accessibility, stress tester, mobile) and reports concrete failures.
  • Prioritized Action Plan: Lists the top P0–P3 issues with concrete fixes and maps each to a recommended command for remediation.
  • Use Cases: Pre-launch design review, post-implementation audit, component critique, and handoff readiness checks.

Quick Start

Provide the interface or a link and ask the critique skill to evaluate visual hierarchy, cognitive load, persona red flags, heuristic scores, and prioritized fixes.

Frequently Asked Questions about critique

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I evaluate my UX design for usability issues before launch?▼

Run a heuristic evaluation to score your interface against established UX principles, detecting cognitive load issues and visual hierarchy flaws. This yields severity-tagged issues and prioritized actionable fixes for design reviews.

How do I prioritize UI fixes during a design critique?▼

Prioritize UI fixes by categorizing detected issues into P0–P3 severity tags based on heuristic scores and persona red flags. This generates a mapped remediation plan highlighting critical visual hierarchy and cognitive load failures.

Can I detect AI-generated design anti-patterns in my interface?▼

Detect AI-generated design anti-patterns by scanning interface components for common AI design tells that reduce trust and clarity. This evaluation flags emotional journey and state failures to improve overall UX quality.

What is persona-based testing for UX walkthroughs?▼

Persona-based UX walkthroughs simulate journeys for power users, first-timers, and accessibility contexts to report concrete interface failures. This testing reveals cognitive load issues and red flags across diverse user states.

Does heuristic scoring work for component-level design reviews?▼

Heuristic scoring works for component-level design reviews by evaluating visual hierarchy, states, and copy. It generates Nielsen-style scores and mapped remediation commands to ensure implementation handoff readiness.

Why does my interface fail accessibility and cognitive load checks?▼

Interfaces fail accessibility and cognitive load checks when visual hierarchy and information architecture are poorly structured. A UX audit identifies these severity-tagged issues and provides concrete fixes to reduce cognitive strain.
