SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Getting thorough, multi-perspective UI/UX feedback on a web application normally requires recruiting diverse users and design experts, which is slow and expensive. This Skill simulates a 14-character evaluation council that audits any URL and produces a prioritized findings document. ## Core Features & Use Cases - 14-Character Council: 7 user personas (accessibility consultant, security auditor, mobile user, developer, compliance officer, and more) plus 7 designer specialists (motion, design systems, performance, growth, brand) with defined biases that create productive debate. - 7 Structured Rounds: First impressions, click-count audit, deep critique, cross-fire debate, color and feel evaluation, recommendations, and a scored vote producing ranked findings. - Click-Count Analysis: Measures interaction cost per user flow with weighted metrics, industry benchmarks, and a reduction pattern library. - Multiple Modes and Packs: Quick, standard, and deep audit depths, with fintech, SaaS, and e-commerce character packs. - Use Case: Point it at a local development build of a fintech dashboard to receive a scorecard, accessibility audit, security review, and top-10 voted recommendations before release. ## Quick Start Run a design council evaluation on http://localhost:3000 with the standard depth and fintech character pack.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run a UX audit on my web application?

Invoke the design council with a target URL, such as /design-council http://localhost:3000. It captures screenshots, runs 14 characters through structured evaluation rounds, and outputs a findings document with ranked recommendations.

How to measure click count for user flows in a web app?

Use the ClickAudit workflow, triggered by asking for a click audit. It maps 8-10 critical flows, counts clicks, keystrokes, waits, and decisions with weighted scoring, then benchmarks against industry standards and proposes reductions.

What is the difference between quick, standard, and deep audit depth?

Quick runs 3 rounds in about 5 minutes, standard runs all 7 rounds in about 15 minutes, and deep adds Figma MCP mockups of top recommendations plus extended performance analysis in about 30 minutes.

Can I evaluate SaaS or e-commerce apps instead of fintech?

Yes, use the --pack flag with saas or ecommerce options. Each pack provides 7 domain-specific user personas while reusing the same 7 designer specialists whose expertise is domain-agnostic.

Does the design council work without the computer-use MCP tool?

Yes, if computer-use MCP is unavailable for screenshots, the workflow falls back to analyzing the application's source code to understand the UI structure, though screenshot-based evaluation is preferred.

What are the limitations of a simulated design council?

The characters are simulated personas, not real users, so findings reflect heuristic expertise rather than observed behavior. Results should be validated with real user testing and actual accessibility tools before major decisions.
