SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This skill prevents superficial reviews by forcing a thorough, principle-driven audit that calls out AI slop, hierarchy breakdowns, and cognitive overload before a design ships.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Heuristic scoring: Rate the interface across Nielsen’s ten heuristics, capture precise issues, and highlight overall health to guide prioritization.
  • Persona red-flagging: Walk through Alex, Jordan, Sam, Riley, and Casey scenarios to surface friction points for power users, first-timers, accessibility dependents, edge-case testers, and mobile users.
  • Anti-pattern detection & output: Confirm whether the work looks AI-generated, document priority issues by severity, and recommend concrete commands to fix typography, hierarchy, or affordance gaps.

Quick Start

Ask critique to audit the landing page for AI slop, visual hierarchy, cognitive load, and persona-specific failings before any polish begins.

Frequently Asked Questions about critique

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I run a heuristic analysis on a web interface?▼

Perform a UX critique by evaluating the visual interface to reveal usability issues, hierarchy failures, and affordance gaps. The audit applies heuristic scoring, persona red-flagging, and priority mapping to surface friction points before recommending fixes.

How do I check my UI design for AI slop and cognitive overload?▼

Detect AI slop and cognitive overload by applying anti-pattern guardrails and a cognitive load checklist to the visual interface. This confirms whether the work looks AI-generated and documents priority issues by severity to prevent superficial reviews.

What is persona red-flagging in UX critique?▼

Persona red-flagging in UX critique walks through Alex, Jordan, Sam, Riley, and Casey scenarios to surface friction points. It tests interfaces for power users, first-timers, accessibility dependents, edge-case testers, and mobile users to map priority issues.

Can I use heuristic scoring to evaluate mobile user friction points?▼

Yes, heuristic scoring evaluates mobile user friction by applying Nielsen heuristics alongside persona red-flagging. The Casey scenario specifically targets mobile users to surface usability issues and hierarchy failures specific to mobile interfaces.

What's the best way to prioritize visual hierarchy fixes in a component screen?▼

Prioritize visual hierarchy fixes through priority mapping based on heuristic scoring and severity documentation. This principle-driven audit reveals affordance gaps and recommends concrete commands to fix typography and hierarchy breakdowns.
