ux-notifications-and-toasts

ux-notifications-and-toasts is a skill for Claude Code from Uxcel-Lab/product-skills. It costs 80 tokens per session (2,199 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A user-experience guide for choosing and reviewing notifications such as badges, banners, snackbars, toasts, alerts, and push messages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design or critique notification behavior, choose the right message type, and review push strategies, personalization, rich media, and user controls.
Why use it?
It helps prevent every message from feeling urgent, repeated interruptions, or notifications that offer little value. It also considers timing, frequency, and ways users can opt out.

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-notifications-and-toasts 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 12d 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.

Notifications & Toasts Skill

How this skill behaves (read first)

This is a generative skill. The default failure modes: urgency inflation (everything is an alert; success messages interrupt), frequency abuse (repeat pings for the same event until users kill all notifications), and attention disrespect (badges for non-notifications, pings with no user value). A notification spends the user's attention — the type must match the message's actual urgency, and the system must stay worth listening to. This skill gates:

  1. Establish urgency, audience moment, and channel — these pick the type.
  2. Apply the always-true core — type-urgency match, frequency discipline, content brevity, user control.
  3. Surface the engagement levers (push strategy, personalization, rich media) with trade-offs — this is dark-patterns-adjacent territory.

Then it hands off to ux-heuristics-audit, ux-accessibility-audit, ux-aesthetics-audit, ux-microcopy-audit, and ux-dark-patterns-audit for validation.


Step 0 — Establish context before designing

Ask if not known; state the assumption if proceeding without an answer:

  • How urgent is the message, really? Needs action now (failed payment) → persistent alert. Useful soon (storage near limit) → warning. FYI (saved, sent) → transient snackbar/toast. Just "something's new" → badge. Be honest — urgency inflation is the root failure.
  • Where is the user? In the app and active → don't interrupt: increment a badge or insert the update inline. Away → push (if opted in). Mid-task → batch for later.
  • Whose goal does it serve? A notification that serves only the business (re-engagement nag) costs trust. If users wouldn't thank you for it, reconsider.
  • Platform — Android toasts/snackbars vs. iOS conventions; push character limits (~39 title / ~150 body).

The always-apply core (correct for almost every case)

Match the type to the urgency

  • Badge — dot (or count) top-right of an icon, for unread notifications only — never scores, weather, or marketing. Dot shape, conventional placement; disappears once seen.
  • Status badge — at-a-glance state (online, in-progress, completed) — informational, not a ping.
  • Banner — temporary strip (top/bottom) for events worth a glance (new message preview); doesn't block.
  • Snackbar — bottom-of-screen confirmation in context, often with one action ("Message sent" + Undo). Never covers a FAB or important controls.
  • Toast — low-priority system messages; can't be dismissed, can stack — use sparingly.
  • Alert — persists until resolved; for things that demand attention. Success = green + check, auto-dismissing; info = ℹ; warning = time-to-act heads-up; error = red + exclamation, immediate action. Don't dress an info message as a warning.
  • Push — reaches users outside the app; the highest-cost channel, opt-in and easiest to lose (see gated table).
