ux-psychology

Provide a design file, URL, or screenshot and request a UX psychology analysis. The Skill identifies which psychological principles apply to the design and returns a table of current problems, improvement proposals, and expected effects.

The analysis covers over 30 principles grouped into categories: cognition and attention, memory and learning, bias and judgment, motivation, social proof, experience, defaults and choice, visual design, and responsiveness, including anchoring, loss aversion, and the peak-end rule.

You can submit a file, URL, or screenshot as input. The Skill evaluates whichever design artifact you provide against the applicable UX psychology principles and produces improvement recommendations.

The Skill explicitly warns against over-applying persuasive principles, which can become dark patterns. It recommends prioritizing user benefit and validating changes with A/B testing rather than relying solely on psychological tactics.

Principle-based analysis provides heuristic guidance, not measured user behavior. Recommendations should be validated through A/B testing and real user research, since effects vary by audience, context, and implementation.
