What problem does it solve?

Complex, data-dense interfaces like Carbon ACX can overwhelm users, leading to frustration and inefficiency. This skill provides expert UX evaluation, identifying usability issues and offering actionable recommendations to simplify interfaces and improve user experience.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Heuristic Evaluation: Assesses interfaces against established usability principles (e.g., Nielsen's 10 heuristics).
• Cognitive Walkthroughs: Simulates user tasks to identify learnability issues for new users.
• User Journey Mapping: Visualizes the end-to-end user experience, highlighting pain points and opportunities.
• Use Case: A product manager feels the "activity browser" is too cluttered. They ask, "Evaluate the UX of the activity browser," and receive a detailed report with prioritized findings and specific recommendations to reduce cognitive load and improve navigation, so "AI works, you rest."
