What it does

Usability Frameworks is an agent skill from slgoodrich/agents. Usability testing methodology, Nielsen's heuristics, and usability metrics. Use when planning usability tests, evaluating UI against heuristics, writing test scripts, or measuring task success rates. Trigger on: 'run a usability test', 'heuristic evaluation', 'usability test script', 'task success rate', 'think-aloud protocol'.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files and assets (for example `assets/severity-rating-guide.md`, `assets/task-scenario-template.md` and `assets/usability-test-script-template.md`).

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering UX design and User research. The repository describes itself as: AI PM Workflows for Claude Code.

When your agent uses it

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3b5835b. 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

Usability Frameworks loads about 3.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~13k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 88 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,692 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~88
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~3.5k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~13k

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,692 words (~3,508 tokens).

“Comprehensive frameworks and methodologies for planning, conducting, and analyzing usability tests to improve user experience.”
