SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a repeatable, director-level UX critique that removes ambiguity from design reviews by combining independent LLM analysis with deterministic automated detection and persona-driven checks, producing prioritized, developer-ready fixes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Dual independent assessments: Two isolated reviews (LLM design review + automated detection) to avoid bias and surface both high-level and mechanical issues.
  • Heuristic scoring & cognitive-load analysis: Nielsen heuristic scores and an 8-item cognitive load checklist with failure counts and concrete recommendations.
  • Persona-based red flags: Walkthroughs for relevant personas to reveal real-world failure modes (power users, first-timers, accessibility-dependent users, etc.).
  • Synthesis and action plan: Merges findings into a single report with priority-severity tagging, precise fixes, and recommended follow-up commands (e.g., /i-layout, /i-polish).
  • Use Case: Run this against a live page, prototype, or component folder to get a prioritized UX remediation plan and follow-up commands for designers and engineers.

Quick Start

Review this page's design for visual hierarchy, cognitive load, accessibility, AI-slop anti-patterns, and provide a prioritized critique with heuristic scores and actionable fixes.

Frequently Asked Questions about i-critique

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I get actionable UX feedback on a web prototype?

Yes, you can evaluate UI components for usability by applying Nielsen heuristics and persona-based testing to surface real-world failure modes and generate developer-ready fixes for specific design elements.

What is cognitive load analysis in design critique?

Cognitive load analysis in design critique is an 8-item checklist that evaluates your interface to count failure points and provide concrete recommendations for reducing user mental effort during interactions.

Does automated anti-pattern detection work for live web pages?

Automated anti-pattern detection works for live web pages by running deterministic browser and CLI detectors alongside isolated LLM design reviews to surface mechanical issues and AI-slop without bias.

Can I test UI components against specific user personas?

Yes, you can test UI components against specific user personas like first-timers or accessibility-dependent users by running targeted walkthroughs to reveal real-world failure modes and red flags.

What is the best way to prioritize design remediation fixes?

The best way to prioritize design remediation fixes is to synthesize independent heuristic assessments and persona red flags into a single report with priority-severity tagging and recommended follow-up commands.
