audit-usability

audit-usability is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tomzx/agents. It costs 122 tokens per session (2,088 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review of the parts of software that people or other programs use, such as command-line tools, web pages, and APIs. It checks how easy they are to understand, learn, operate, and use accessibly.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review command-line help, API documentation and errors, web interfaces, destructive-action confirmations, and accessibility details.
Why use it?
It exposes confusing commands, inconsistent options, unclear errors, missing help, and unsafe or inaccessible interactions.

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

audit-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 3d 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.

Usability Audit (ISO/IEC 25010)

Audits the software's interfaces for usability: how easily the intended users can recognize what it does, learn it, operate it, recover from errors, and (for web UIs) access it. It treats the CLI, the API, and any web surface as the product's usability surface.

This is the Usability characteristic of the ISO/IEC 25010 quality model. It applies to user-facing software; for libraries with no CLI/API/UI surface, report "no usability surface" and exit.

Prerequisites

  • Working directory is the root of the repository
  • Read .sdlc/context/project-overview.md if present (to identify the intended audience and surface)
  • Determine the surface(s): CLI (argparse/click/typer/cobra), API (HTTP routes), or web (templates/components)

What This Checks

Sub-characteristic What it means Signals scanned
Recognizability users can tell what the software does README purpose statement; --help/-h support; API docs (OpenAPI) or README
Learnability new users can get started examples in help/docs; a getting-started/quickstart; consistent flag/command naming
Operability users can control and observe behavior sensible defaults; consistent exit codes; --version; verbose/dry-run flags; structured logs
User error protection the system prevents and recovers from user mistakes input validation with actionable messages; confirmation prompts on destructive actions; safe defaults for dangerous flags
User engagement relevant and satisfying to use (mostly out of static scope; flag missing progress indication for long operations)
Accessibility (web) usable by people with diverse abilities alt text on images; form label associations; ARIA roles where needed; sufficient contrast (static subset); keyboard-reachable interactive elements

Steps

1. Identify the surface

rg -n "argparse|click\.command|typer|cobra\.Command|@app\.command|yargs|commander" -g '*.{py,ts,js,go}' .
rg -n "@(app|router)\.(get|post|put|delete|patch|route)" -g '*.{py,ts,js}' .
ls src/components app/templates templates 2>/dev/null

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.
