What it does

Heuristic Evaluation is an agent skill from Prorise-cool/Claude-Code-Multi-Agent. Conduct heuristic evaluations - Nielsen's 10 heuristics, severity ratings, expert review methodology, cognitive walkthrough, and usability inspection.

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering UX design. The repository describes itself as: Claude-Code-Multi-Agent驱动的新一代AI编程助手生态系统,基于Claude Code构建的智能代理协调工作空间,实现从需求到交付的全流程自动化开发.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve UX design

Example prompts

  • “/heuristic-evaluation”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Glob, Grep, Task

Workflow steps

12 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Visibility of System Status
  2. Match Between System and Real World
  3. User Control and Freedom
  4. Consistency and Standards
  5. Error Prevention
  6. Recognition Rather Than Recall
  7. Flexibility and Efficiency of Use
  8. Aesthetic and Minimalist Design
  9. Help Users Recognize, Diagnose, and Recover from Errors
  10. Help and Documentation
  11. Planning
  12. Individual Evaluation

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0dc1305. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • Task

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown and csharp).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Heuristic Evaluation loads about 3.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,154 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~43
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.8k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,154 words (~3,790 tokens).

“Conduct expert usability reviews using established heuristics and evaluation frameworks.”
