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.
