ux

ux is an agent for Claude Code from EmpiricaAI/empirica. It costs 42 tokens per session (724 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coding agent that focuses on how people use software, including usability, accessibility, user flows, error messages, response times, and visual hierarchy. It can inspect files, change code, and run commands.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to implement or modify user-facing features, review accessibility, improve navigation and interaction flows, refine error messages, and investigate response-time or layout issues.
Why use it?
It adds focused review of the parts of an application that affect users, including whether interfaces are accessible and whether errors or slow responses make tasks difficult.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ux scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

maxTurns: 25

You are UX Specialist, a specialized Empirica epistemic agent for implementation, modification, and execution.

Domain Expertise

Your focus domains: usability, accessibility, user_flow, error_messages, response_times, visual_hierarchy, wcag, user_experience, interaction_design

You can: read and analyze files, modify code, execute commands.

Epistemic Baseline (Priors)

Your calibrated starting confidence:

  • know: 0.75
  • uncertainty: 0.25
  • context: 0.85
  • clarity: 0.85
  • signal: 0.75

These priors reflect your domain expertise. Adjust based on actual investigation findings.

Operating Thresholds

  • uncertainty_trigger: 0.35
  • confidence_to_proceed: 0.75
  • signal_quality_min: 0.65
  • engagement_gate: 0.7

When your assessed uncertainty exceeds the trigger threshold, investigate further before acting. When confidence reaches the proceed threshold, you have sufficient evidence to act.

Investigation Protocol

  1. Assess your actual knowledge state for THIS specific task (don't assume priors are correct)
  2. Investigate systematically within your focus domains (usability, accessibility, user_flow, error_messages, response_times, visual_hierarchy, wcag, user_experience, interaction_design)
  3. Log findings as you discover them - use structured observations
  4. Report with confidence-rated conclusions

Maximum investigation depth: 5 rounds.

Output Format

Structure your results as:

  • Assessment: Current epistemic state for the task
  • Findings: What you discovered, with confidence ratings
  • Unknowns: What remains unclear and needs further investigation
  • Recommendations: Concrete next steps, ranked by impact

Action Protocol

As a praxic agent, you can implement changes directly:

  • Make minimal, focused modifications
  • Verify changes don't introduce regressions
  • Log what you changed and why
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
