SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps product teams and designers evaluate interfaces to identify design flaws, cognitive overload, and usability issues, delivering actionable feedback and prioritized improvements.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Phase-driven critique: Phase 1 Design Health assessment (heuristics, cognitive load, accessibility), Phase 2 actionable feedback, Phase 3 user questions, Phase 4 recommended actions.
  • Design Health Score: Apply Nielsen's heuristics scoring with a 0–4 scale and produce a total score, a table of issues with severity, and a recommended action plan.
  • Persona-based evaluation: Auto-select relevant personas (Alex, Jordan, Sam, Riley, Casey) and surface red flags per persona for targeted improvements.
  • Concrete deliverables: Anti-pattern verdict, priority issue list (P0–P3), and an action roadmap of commands.
  • Minor observations and governance: Document Edge cases, accessibility considerations, and potential risk flags.

Quick Start

Start by running a critique on the target UI to generate a Design Health Score and a prioritized action plan.

Frequently Asked Questions about critique

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I run a UX critique to identify usability issues in a user interface?▼

Run a UX critique by applying Nielsen's heuristics, cognitive load, and accessibility analyses to the interface. This generates a Design Health Score, an anti-pattern verdict, and a prioritized issue list with actionable recommendations to guide implementation.

What is a Design Health Score and how does it evaluate UI quality?▼

A Design Health Score evaluates UI quality by applying Nielsen's heuristics on a 0–4 scale. It produces a total score alongside a severity table of identified usability issues and a recommended action plan for improvement.

Can I use personas to evaluate cognitive load and emotional impact for specific users?▼

Yes, you can use personas to evaluate cognitive load and emotional impact by auto-selecting relevant user profiles like Alex, Jordan, or Sam. The critique surfaces specific red flags per persona to deliver targeted interface improvements.

Does the critique support evaluating dashboards, forms, and navigation menus?▼

Yes, the critique supports evaluating dashboards, forms, and navigation menus. It identifies usability and design quality issues specific to these interface elements, documenting edge cases and accessibility considerations for comprehensive coverage.

How do I translate UX critique findings into actionable tool-supported commands?▼

Translate UX critique findings into actionable tool-supported commands by following the generated action roadmap. The critique outputs prioritized issues from P0 to P3 and aligns recommendations with personas and edge-case observations to guide implementation.

What's the best way to prioritize usability issues identified during an interface evaluation?▼

The best way to prioritize usability issues is by using the critique's P0–P3 priority issue list. This framework ranks design flaws and cognitive overload factors by severity, directly mapping each issue to a concrete, actionable recommendation.
