SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The Interface Auditor identifies observable UI/UX antipatterns and launch-blocking issues so teams can prioritize fixes and reduce user friction before release. It converts ambiguous design concerns into evidence-backed, severity-scored findings with concrete remediation guidance.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Critical-first scanning: Immediately surface and prioritize critical violations (8-10) that must be fixed before launch.
  • 168-principle taxonomy: Map findings to a research-backed taxonomy with severity scores, realistic fix effort estimates, and quantified business impact where applicable.
  • Multi-input support: Audit screenshots, HTML or frontend code, and textual interface descriptions to produce a structured triage report useful for designers, PMs, and engineers.
  • Deliverables for triage: Structured JSON output including findings, ux_smells, gaps, aggregated score, grade, and a launch_blocker flag for scoping redesigns or pre-launch checklists.

Quick Start

Audit the attached screenshot or UI description and return a structured JSON report with severity-scored findings, evidence, and recommended fixes.

FAQPage Schema
How do I audit UI for antipatterns and launch blockers before release?▼

To audit UI for antipatterns and launch blockers, submit screenshots, HTML, code snippets, or textual interface descriptions. The system applies a 168-principle taxonomy to generate a structured JSON report containing severity-scored findings, evidence, and remediation guidance.

What is a UI UX audit and how does severity scoring work?▼

A UI UX audit identifies observable interface antipatterns using a research-backed taxonomy. Severity scoring evaluates findings on a critical-to-low scale, with critical violations scoring 8-10, mapping symptoms to concrete evidence locations and estimated fix efforts for redesign triage.

Can I audit a dashboard or onboarding flow using only a screenshot?▼

Yes, you can audit dashboards, onboarding flows, forms, and AI assistant interfaces using only a screenshot. The auditor accepts visual inputs alongside HTML, code snippets, or textual descriptions to detect UX smells and generate prioritized findings.

What's the best way to prioritize UX findings for a redesign?▼

The best way to prioritize UX findings for a redesign is using a structured JSON triage report. The auditor outputs a launch_blocker flag, severity scores, overall grade, and realistic effort estimates to help teams scope fixes and reduce user friction.

Does the interface audit output include fix recommendations with effort estimates?▼

Yes, the interface audit output includes fix recommendations with effort estimates. The structured JSON deliverable contains concrete symptoms, evidence locations, ux_smells, gaps, an overall grade, and a launch_blocker flag for pre-launch checklists.
