SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Design teams often receive vague feedback like "the navigation feels off" without actionable direction. This Skill replaces subjective design reviews with a structured diagnostic methodology that scores UX quality, identifies specific issues with evidence, and routes every finding to the right remediation path. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Heuristic Evaluation: Applies Nielsen's 10 usability heuristics with a 0-4 severity scoring scale and documented violations for each. - Cognitive Walkthroughs: Steps through task flows asking four diagnostic questions per step to locate exactly where users fail. - Anti-Pattern Detection: Scans for dark patterns including confirmshaming, prechecked consent, fake urgency, and accessibility weaponization, with severity classification and regulatory risk flags. - Task Success Analysis: Evaluates completion, efficiency, error rate, recovery, and satisfaction for key user tasks. - Use Case: Before a product launch, run a full UX audit of the signup flow to get a health score, prioritized P0-P3 issue list, and a remediation roadmap organized by which specialist discipline owns each fix. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to evaluate the UX of your signup flow and produce a scored audit with prioritized issues and recommended fixes.

Frequently Asked Questions about evaluate

FAQPage Schema
How do I run a heuristic evaluation on my product design?

Apply Nielsen's 10 usability heuristics systematically, scoring each from 0 (no issues) to 4 (catastrophic). Document specific violations with evidence, including where the issue occurs, why it matters to users, and what action resolves it.

What is a cognitive walkthrough in UX evaluation?

A cognitive walkthrough steps through each task asking four questions per step: will the user know to act, notice the action, understand what it does, and see feedback. Steps with two or more failures are rated as likely abandonment points.

How do I detect dark patterns in my interface?

Scan the experience against categories like confirmshaming, prechecked consent, fake urgency, and hidden costs. Classify each finding by severity from critical (regulatory risk under GDPR or FTC guidelines) to low, and flag critical items as P0.

Does a UX evaluation fix the issues it finds?

No. Evaluation is diagnostic only. It identifies, scores, and prioritizes issues, then routes each one to the appropriate specialist discipline such as accessibility, content strategy, flow redesign, or resilience design for actual remediation.

When should I use a UX audit versus user research?

Use a structured UX audit when you need an expert assessment against established heuristics and patterns without recruiting participants. When the audit surfaces questions that require real user data, follow up with dedicated user research.
