SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps evaluate whether the visible surface of a product accurately reflects the decisions made in the underlying conceptual and interaction layers, so the user experience is consistent, clear, and trustworthy.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Vocabulary Audit: Checks whether labels, copy, and terminology match the established ubiquitous language.
  • Object Consistency Review: Identifies shapeshifters and masked objects that appear differently across the surface.
  • Completeness and Feedback Review: Verifies that every modeled affordance is present and that actions, progress, and errors are communicated clearly.
  • Accessibility and Hierarchy Check: Assesses prominence, readability, and access needs for the chosen medium.
  • Use Case: A design team can use this Skill to review a working interface and decide whether surface issues should be fixed in copy, design, or a deeper layer.

Quick Start

Ask the skill to audit an existing screen, copy deck, or prototype against the conceptual model and interaction flow.

Frequently Asked Questions about layers-surface

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit UI consistency against my conceptual model?▼

A surface audit checks whether visible labels, hierarchy, and error handling align with the underlying interaction design. It identifies shapeshifting objects, masked affordances, and feedback gaps across screen UI, voice, physical, or service touchpoints.

What is a surface audit in interaction design?▼

A surface audit checks whether visible labels, hierarchy, and error handling align with the underlying interaction design. It identifies shapeshifting objects, masked affordances, and feedback gaps across screen UI, voice, physical, or service touchpoints.

How do I check accessibility and prominence constraints in a prototype?▼

Check accessibility and prominence by assessing readability, hierarchy, and access needs specific to your chosen medium. The audit evaluates whether emotional tone and visual prominence meet accessibility requirements while staying aligned with the model.

Can I review voice and physical touchpoints for copy consistency?▼

Yes, you can review voice and physical touchpoints for copy consistency. The audit applies to any service touchpoint where labels, emotional tone, and error handling must stay aligned with the underlying conceptual model and interaction flow.

When should I fix surface issues versus deeper layer problems?▼

Distinguish surface fixes from deeper layer problems by checking if the issue stems from vocabulary, visual prominence, or feedback gaps. If the underlying affordance or modeled object is fundamentally flawed, the issue requires a deeper layer intervention.
