ux-information-architecture-audit

ux-information-architecture-audit is a skill for Claude Code from Uxcel-Lab/product-skills. It costs 105 tokens per session (2,927 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured review of how information is organized across a site or product, including page categories, navigation, menus, labels, and multi-screen flows. It checks whether the structure matches how people look for information.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review sitemaps, navigation trees, category systems, menu labels, and product flows. It produces severity-rated findings and suggests concrete fixes or research methods for uncertain decisions.
Why use it?
It helps uncover misleading labels, inconsistent naming, overly deep hierarchies, and navigation that gives users little clue about what they will find. It also considers people who enter through pages other than the homepage.

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-information-architecture-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.

Information Architecture Audit Skill

What this skill changes vs. default behavior

By default, Claude critiques a structure by eyeballing the category names — it rarely tests whether the organization scheme matches how users actually seek, whether labels carry information scent before the click, whether the hierarchy's breadth/depth ratio forces click-tunneling, or whether users landing mid-site can orient at all. This audit forces four things: every finding names the violated IA principle; labels are tested for scent ("could a user predict the destination?"), consistency, and vocabulary fit; the structure is checked against the seeking modes it must serve, not just the browse-from-homepage path; and findings come severity-rated with concrete fixes — including which research method (card sort, search-log analysis, free listing) would settle a contested call.

This is an evaluative skill: it auto-runs whenever a sitemap, navigation structure, category system, or multi-screen flow is being reviewed — and as a validation step after generative skills that structure content (ux-navigation, ux-menus, ux-search).

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. Explicit scope always wins.


The framework — what to check and what a violation looks like

1. Organization scheme matches the user's task

Schemes are exact (alphabetical, chronological, geographical) or subjective (topical, task-oriented, audience, metaphor, hybrid). Exact schemes work only when users know the item's name; subjective schemes serve browsing and discovery. The choice follows from top user tasks, not from what's easiest to build.

Flag when: alphabetical ordering on content users browse by category (a spa listing services A–Z); chronological where users seek by topic; a metaphor scheme requiring users to learn the metaphor; a hybrid mixing many schemes deep in navigation (fine on a homepage, confusing at depth).
