ux-aesthetics-audit

ux-aesthetics-audit is a skill for Claude Code from Uxcel-Lab/product-skills. It costs 80 tokens per session (2,464 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review of a user interface’s visual arrangement, including hierarchy, emphasis, contrast, spacing, alignment, grouping, consistency, and depth. It looks at how the screen appears rather than how its interactions work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review screens, components, and other interface designs for visual quality. It produces severity-rated findings with concrete visual fixes.
Why use it?
It helps detect clutter, competing focal points, weak grouping, and visual inconsistency. It also distinguishes visual contrast from accessibility contrast requirements and usability problems.

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-aesthetics-audit 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 11d 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.

Visual Aesthetics Audit Skill

How this skill behaves (read first)

This is an evaluative skill — it reviews existing work, it doesn't generate. It auto-runs and is built to be called as a validation step by generative skills. It's the visual-quality backbone of the repo: generators that produce UI (pricing, login-signup, dashboard, onboarding, component skills) hand off here to confirm they didn't tip into clutter or break hierarchy.

It owns visual composition. Two deliberate deferrals so it doesn't duplicate:

  • Color-contrast ratios, and any accessibility concern (keyboard, screen readers, alt text) → the accessibility audit. This skill judges visual contrast/emphasis and harmony, not WCAG ratios.
  • Usability, flow, and interaction logic → the heuristics audit. This skill judges how it looks, not how it works.

Scope discipline. When invoked directly (the user named this audit), review only this concern — don't pull in sibling audits. It runs alongside other lenses only when an orchestrator (ux-design-review) or a generative skill calls it under docs/orchestration-policy.md, where it sits in Tier B — offered (and suppressed when a design system already defines visual harmony). Explicit scope always wins.


What this skill changes vs. default behavior

By default, visual feedback is vague and subjective — "make it cleaner", "add more spacing", "looks a bit busy" — with no principle, no severity, and no fix. This skill forces:

  1. Every finding names the violated principle (hierarchy, emphasis, proximity, etc.).
  2. Severity rated by whether it breaks scanning/comprehension or is just polish.
  3. A concrete fix, not a vibe.
  4. An explicit overdesign pass — the failure mode generators most need caught, and the one "more best practices" tends to cause.

It is not taste-policing: flag principle violations that cost scanning, comprehension, or perceived quality — not personal style preferences.
