What problem does it solve? Conversion-focused interfaces often contain manipulative design choices — hidden costs, hard-to-cancel subscriptions, preselected add-ons — that erode user trust and create legal risk, yet default reviews only catch blatant cases. This Skill systematically audits a UI, flow, or copy against a full catalog of dark patterns and produces prioritized, honest-design fixes. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Systematic pattern sweep: Checks sneaking, obstruction, misdirection, nagging, forced action, emotional manipulation, attention exploitation, and microcopy-level patterns. - Intent classification: Labels each finding Dark, Grey, or honest Mistake so audits stay fair and credible, routing usability mistakes to a heuristics audit instead. - Severity-rated output: Produces a structured findings list (Critical / Major / Grey / Clean) with a trust verdict and concrete honest-design fixes. - Use Case: Before shipping a new checkout flow, run this audit to catch hidden fees, preselected add-ons, or a roach-motel cancellation path, and get a prioritized fix list your team can act on. ## Quick Start Audit this checkout flow for dark patterns and give me a severity-rated findings list with honest-design fixes.
