usability

usability is a skill for Claude Code from Tiltely/lens. It costs 68 tokens per session (901 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A usability review method that asks structured questions about user flows, navigation, feedback, missing states, and language support.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan a new page or audit an existing one, including loading, success, error, first-time, navigation, and internationalization scenarios.
Why use it?
It helps find places where users may get confused, lose their way, or lack clear feedback during an action.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

usability 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 1mo 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 — 78 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

The Lens of Usability

Read first: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/core/protocol.md and ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/core/dossier.md. Dossier rules: read it, skip answered questions WITH skip lines, append your outputs.

Mode selection

  • Explicit argument wins ("audit" / "design").
  • Otherwise infer: planning a new page/flow → design; reviewing one already built → audit. Confirm your inference in one line.

Question battery — design mode

Tier 1 — framing (always)

  1. Walk me through how the user ACTUALLY ends up on this page — from where, in what state of mind, on what device? (If the walk-through stalls, that IS the finding.)
  2. What does the user want to leave with — and how many steps does that take today?

Tier 2 — flow and navigation

  1. From this page, where can the user go next — and is every likely "next" reachable without using the browser back button?
  2. What is missing: is there an action users will look for here that has no button? (The test: narrate the user's inner monologue — "ok, and now how do I…?")
  3. For each async action: what does the user see while waiting, on success, and on failure? (loading / success feedback / error recovery — name all three.)
  4. First-time user vs returning user: do both make sense of this page? Does the first-timer need an empty state that teaches?

Tier 3 — reach (only when triggered)

  • Real users speak multiple languages → do we need i18n here, and in which languages? Who maintains translations? (Per Tiltely: neutral tú-form Spanish when Spanish.)
  • Feature exists on web AND mobile → does the flow match on both? Intentional divergences documented? (This question is the seed of the future parity lens.)
  • Forms → can it be completed one-handed on a phone? Are inputs the right keyboard type?

Output contract — design mode

decisions[] · risks[] · open[] · blast-radius notes (e.g., "i18n decision touches email templates too"). Append to dossier.

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.

usability is a skill published in the GitHub repository Tiltely/lens (5 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 68 tokens to every session and 901 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
