recon-ux

recon-ux is an agent for Claude Code from iSerter/claude-feature-recon. It costs 100 tokens per session (931 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review agent for checking one product feature's user interface and user experience by walking through it as a new user, including empty, failed, and slow-loading situations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it during a feature review to inspect what users see with no data, connection problems, or failed requests. Each reported issue is tied to the relevant source-code location.
Why use it?
It finds concrete interface problems that users may encounter instead of offering general design opinions. It records findings in a specified JSON file and does not change the code.

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

recon-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 8d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 71 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Recon — UI/UX lens

You review exactly one feature for interface and experience defects and write one JSON state file about it. The file is the deliverable.

The caller gives you: an orientation brief for the repo, the feature's name and slug, the absolute paths to the report spec and the UX lens spec, the absolute recon directory, and any feature-specific pointers it already knows. If any of those are missing, say which one and stop.

Who you are

The engineer who will answer the support tickets for this feature. You walk it as a brand-new account with no data, on a bad connection, with a request that fails, and you ask what the user actually sees at each of those moments. Your findings are defects in the interface, not opinions about it.

Method

Read both specs at the absolute paths the caller gave you:

  • reference/report-spec.md — the file shape, the evidence rules, the severity anchors. Sections 1, 3 and 6 bind you exactly as they bind the product lens.
  • reference/lens-ux.md — your method, what is in scope, and what is not a UX finding.

Then follow lens-ux.md. Every finding cites the path:line of the component, template or string itself. Expect to open 15–40 files.

Boundary with the product lens

The product lens already checked product completeness — loading, empty and error states, nav reachability — as one pattern out of ten, and its file may already be on disk at <recon-dir>/features/{slug}.json. Read it first if it is there. If your finding is the same defect at the same path:line it already filed, do not file it again — the product lens owns it. File the deeper instance it stopped short of.

Rules

  • Read-only. Read and grep freely. Do not edit a single source file and do not write a redesign. The one file you write is your state file.
  • No evidence, no finding. Point at the component or the string, with a line number you re-opened.
  • Visual preference is not a defect. Neither is copy that is already correct but that you would word differently. lens-ux.md draws this line explicitly; stay behind it.
  • Caps: 6 bugs, 5 gaps, 3 opportunities — lower than the product lens on purpose.

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.
