SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Reviews your product UI against Nielsen's 10 usability heuristics. Spawns 10 parallel agents — one per heuristic — to score, identify issues, and prescribe fixes, then synthesizes into a severity-sorted report ux-review.md with prioritized issues and fixes. Use after you’ve built your first screens, when users report confusion, or before showing the product to stakeholders.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Parallel evaluation of all ten Nielsen heuristics, with one agent per heuristic, producing a single ux-review.md that ranks issues by severity and includes concrete fixes.
  • Generated output includes per-heuristic scores, a prioritized fix order, and effort estimates to guide rapid remediation.
  • Suitable for design validation, usability assessment, or pre-launch reviews to quickly surface critical usability problems.

Quick Start

Describe your current screens or share screenshots and say 'Review my UI' or 'Check my UX'.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run a usability review using Nielsen's heuristics?

To run a usability review, describe your current UI screens or share screenshots. The system evaluates them against all ten Nielsen heuristics in parallel and outputs a severity-sorted ux-review.md with prioritized issues and concrete fixes.

What is the best way to identify UX issues before a product launch?

The best way to identify UX issues pre-launch is to run a heuristic evaluation. This process analyzes your interface against established usability principles, surfacing actionable problems with effort estimates to guide rapid remediation before stakeholders see the product.

Can I prioritize usability fixes based on severity and effort?

Yes, you can prioritize usability fixes because the generated ux-review.md ranks all identified issues by severity. The report includes a prioritized fix order and provides effort estimates to help you determine which usability problems to address first.

When should I perform a heuristic evaluation on my user interface?

You should perform a heuristic evaluation after building your first screens, when users report confusion, or before showing the product to stakeholders. It serves as a design validation step to quickly surface critical usability problems early.

What does a Nielsen heuristics UX review include in the output?

A Nielsen heuristics UX review includes per-heuristic scores, a severity-sorted list of usability issues, and a prioritized fix order. The output ux-review.md provides specific descriptions and effort estimates for concrete remediation steps.
