Run a usability audit using Nielsen's 10 heuristics and Krug's "don't make me think" principles, then return severity-scored UX issues and fixes. Use for heuristic reviews, usability audits, and pre-ship UX quality checks.From its SKILL.md

UX Heuristics
Use this skill before shipping features to catch usability problems early.
What this skill does
This skill reviews an interface against:
- Nielsen's 10 usability heuristics
- Krug's clarity-first usability principles
It outputs issues with severity, rationale, and practical fixes.
Best triggers
Activate for requests like:
- "audit this for usability"
- "heuristic review"
- "UX issues"
- "pre-ship UX check"
Severity scale
0No issue1Cosmetic2Minor usability issue3Major usability issue4Usability blocker
Audit process
- Define core tasks users must complete.
- Walk each task step by step.
- Evaluate each step using the heuristics:
- Visibility of system status
- Match between system and real world
- User control and freedom
- Consistency and standards
- Error prevention
- Recognition rather than recall
- Flexibility and efficiency
- Aesthetic and minimalist design
- Error recovery help
- Help and documentation
- Add Krug checks:
- Is the next action obvious?
- Is wording clear at a glance?
- Is interaction effort low?
- Score each issue by severity and user impact.
- Recommend fixes in priority order.
Output format
For each issue, provide:
IssueHeuristic violatedSeverity (0-4)Why this hurts usersRecommended fix
End with:
- Top 3 risks to release quality
- Must-fix before ship list
- Nice-to-have improvements
Guardrails
- Tie every issue to a specific user task.
- Prefer simple fixes that reduce cognitive load.
- Flag blockers and accessibility concerns first.
