critique-ux

critique-ux is a command for Claude Code from Owl-Listener/designer-skills. It costs 26 tokens per session (366 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for a focused user-experience review of a screen, covering whether actions are discoverable, information is sufficient, and priorities are clear. UX means how easily people can understand and use a product.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for quick reviews of screens, especially when product managers or designers need a ranked list of functional usability fixes.
Why use it?
It produces a prioritised fix list for problems that can hide actions, slow users down, or make important information hard to find. Issues are grouped as critical, important, or polish.

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

critique-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.

What it actually says

/critique-ux

Run a focused functional critique on a screen. This command covers the three dimensions most likely to block task completion: whether actions are discoverable, whether the right information is present, and whether priority is clear. Use this for quick feedback loops, PM-led reviews, or when you want functional critique without a full visual audit.

Steps

  1. Visual hierarchy — Identify entry point and whether the primary action reads clearly using critique-visual-hierarchy skill.
  2. Affordance — Evaluate clickability signals, state visibility, CTA clarity, and action discoverability using critique-affordance skill.
  3. Information density — Assess cognitive load, content priority, scanning patterns, and progressive disclosure using critique-information-density skill.
  4. Prioritise — Collect every flagged issue and rank them:
    • P1 — Critical: Blocks task completion or hides a required action; fix before shipping.
    • P2 — Important: Slows the user or creates confusion; fix in current sprint.
    • P3 — Polish: Minor friction or clarity improvement; address when capacity allows.

Output

A prioritised fix list grouped by level. Each item includes:

  • Issue: what is wrong
  • Dimension: Hierarchy / Affordance / Density
  • Fix: the specific change required Conclude with one sentence summarising the biggest functional risk on the screen.

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.
