What it does

UX Audit is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. Audit screens for UX issues using Nielsen's heuristics and modern mobile UX best practices

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Mobile UI design. The repository describes itself as: AAS Core is the local, agent-first control plane for complete catalog discovery, agent-owned selection, stack validation, and planning, backed by 2,400+ agentic skills. Includes… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Mobile UI design

Example prompts

  • “/ux-audit”

Workflow steps

10 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
  8. Aesthetic and Minimalist Design
  9. Help Users Recover from Errors
  10. Help and Documentation

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 680176d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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

UX Audit loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 25 tokens; SKILL.md has 634 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~25
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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.

UX Audit

When to Use

Use this skill when you need audit screens for UX issues using Nielsen's heuristics and modern mobile UX best practices.

When NOT to use

  • For accessibility-only issues → use /ss-a11y
  • For design system token/golden-rule compliance → use /ss-review
  • For copy/microcopy quality → use /ss-copy
  • For brand new screens that don't exist yet — design first with /ss-page or /ss-flow

Target: $ARGUMENTS

Audit Framework

Nielsen's 10 Usability Heuristics
1. Visibility of System Status
  • Loading states present (skeleton screens, not spinners)
  • Success/error feedback after actions (toast notifications)
  • Progress indicators for multi-step flows
  • Active state clearly shown on navigation items
  • Real-time data has timestamp showing freshness
2. Match Between System and Real World
  • Labels use user's language, not technical jargon
  • Icons are universally recognizable (Lucide standard set)
  • Number formats match user expectations (comma separators, currency symbols)
  • Date formats are locale-appropriate
3. User Control and Freedom
  • Back navigation available on all non-root screens
  • Destructive actions have confirmation dialogs
  • Undo available for reversible actions (toast with undo)
  • Bottom sheet/modal can be dismissed (backdrop tap, swipe down, X button)
  • No dark patterns (no forced actions, always a way to dismiss)
4. Consistency and Standards
  • Same action = same appearance everywhere
  • Color meanings are consistent (green=success, red=error, brand=active)
  • Text hierarchy follows the 5-level grayscale system
  • All cards use the same shadow, radius, padding
  • Spacing follows the 6px grid system
5. Error Prevention
  • Destructive buttons are visually distinct (destructive variant)
  • Form validation happens on blur (not while typing)
  • Dangerous actions require explicit confirmation
  • Input constraints are visible before errors occur (character limits, format hints)
6. Recognition Rather Than Recall
  • Labels on all icons (especially BottomNav)
  • Current state visible without memorization (active tab highlighted)
  • Recent/frequent items shown for quick access
  • Placeholder text shows expected format
7. Flexibility and Efficiency
  • Key actions reachable within 3 taps from home
  • Pull-to-refresh on data screens
  • Touch targets >= 44x44px (no tiny tap areas)
  • Frequently used actions in easy-to-reach zones (bottom of screen)
8. Aesthetic and Minimalist Design
  • Each screen focuses on ONE primary task
  • No decorative elements that don't serve a purpose
  • Information pyramid respected (most important = biggest)
  • Card density follows the max-4-items rule
  • No competing visual elements (one hero metric per page)
Show full SKILL.md (275 more words)Show less
9. Help Users Recover from Errors
  • Error messages explain what went wrong in plain language
  • Error messages suggest how to fix the problem
  • Partial failures don't break the whole page (one card fails, others load)
  • Network errors show retry button
  • Form errors highlight the specific field
10. Help and Documentation
  • Empty states guide users to take action
  • Onboarding for first-time features (if applicable)
  • Tooltips for complex metrics (if applicable)
Mobile-Specific UX Checks
Touch & Gesture
  • Touch targets minimum 44x44px
  • Minimum 8px between adjacent touch targets
  • No hover-dependent interactions (mobile has no hover)
  • Swipe gestures have visible affordances (carousel indicators)
Performance Perception
  • Skeleton screens appear within 300ms
  • Optimistic updates for user actions
  • Above-the-fold content loads first
  • No layout shift after content loads
Safe Areas
  • Content not hidden behind notch/Dynamic Island
  • Bottom content not behind home indicator
  • BottomNav has pb-safe padding
Dark Pattern Prevention
  • No forced bottom sheets on entry
  • No exit-prevention dialogs
  • Every screen has a way to go back/dismiss
  • CTA labels clearly describe the action
  • No manipulative graphics (begging, urgency)

Output Format

  1. Score: A+ to F rating with breakdown
  2. Critical Issues: Must fix (blocks usability)
  3. Major Issues: Should fix (degrades experience)
  4. Minor Issues: Nice to fix (polish)
  5. Recommendations: Specific code changes for each issue

Limitations

  • Use this skill only when the task clearly matches its upstream source and local project context.
  • Verify commands, generated code, dependencies, credentials, and external service behavior before applying changes.
  • Do not treat examples as a substitute for environment-specific tests, security review, or user approval for destructive or costly actions.
