SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Evaluate design from a UX perspective, assessing visual hierarchy, information architecture, emotional resonance, cognitive load, and overall quality with quantitative scoring, persona-based testing, and actionable feedback. Use when the user asks to review, critique, evaluate, or give feedback on a design or component.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Holistic UX critique across multiple dimensions (visual hierarchy, IA, cognitive load, emotion) with structured, prioritized feedback.
  • Phase-based workflow: Phase 1: design critique; Phase 2: detailed findings with heuristics scoring; Phase 3: clarifying questions; Phase 4: recommended actions and commands.
  • Persona-driven insights: surface red flags for common personas (Alex, Jordan, Sam, Riley, Casey) and derive project-specific personas if context exists.
  • Actionable outputs: design health score, anti-pattern verdict, priority issues, and suggested commands for quick iteration.
  • Use cases: design reviews, UX audits, stakeholder feedback sessions, rapid design improvement cycles.

Quick Start

Provide the target area (feature, page, component) and I will return a structured UX critique.

Frequently Asked Questions about critique

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I get structured UX critique and feedback for my interface design?

To get structured UX critique, you provide the target interface, page, or component. The system evaluates visual hierarchy, cognitive load, and information architecture, delivering phase-based analysis, heuristics scoring, and a design-health score.

What is included in a UX design audit and heuristics evaluation?

A UX design audit and heuristics evaluation includes holistic analysis across visual hierarchy, information architecture, and emotional resonance. It provides quantitative heuristics scoring, persona-driven red flags, anti-pattern verdicts, and prioritized recommendations.

Can I evaluate cognitive load and information architecture for specific user personas?

Yes, you can evaluate cognitive load and information architecture for specific personas. The critique surfaces red flags for common personas like Alex, Jordan, and Sam, and can derive project-specific personas if your design context includes them.

How do I review a UI component for anti-patterns and visual hierarchy issues?

To review a UI component for anti-patterns and visual hierarchy issues, you submit the artifact for evaluation. The system applies phase-based workflow analysis to identify priority issues and provide actionable feedback with a design-health score.

What do I need to provide to run a UX design review on a page or flow?

To run a UX design review on a page or flow, you need to provide a design context, such as an artifact via frontend-design or teach-impeccable protocol. The system analyzes the provided context to produce structured critique and recommended actions.

When should I use a structured UX critique workflow instead of a general design review?

You should use a structured UX critique workflow when you need quantitative scoring, persona-driven testing, and actionable feedback across visual hierarchy and cognitive load dimensions. It is ideal for UX audits, stakeholder feedback sessions, and rapid design improvement cycles.
