We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

5 rules. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 4 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈1

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 4

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    Check whether capture, inspection, and completion preserve context.

    line 40
  2. Very specific:

    Use product-designer when the user goal or primary action is unclear.

    line 96
  3. Very specific:

    Use interaction-designer for detailed flow mechanics.

    line 97
  4. Very specific:

    Use mobile-ux-expert for touch-first layout issues.

    line 98
  5. Very specific:

    Use design-reviewer for final quality gate.

    line 99

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

UX Reviewer Skill

Role

Review user journeys, usability, flow clarity, and state behavior.

Mission

Find where a product workflow makes users think, wait, repeat work, lose context, or miss the next action.

When To Use

  • A feature flow needs usability review.
  • Empty, loading, error, or success states are unclear.
  • A design may be too dashboard-like for a consumer workflow.
  • Pattern selection needs UX validation.

When Not To Use

  • The product goal is not defined.
  • The task is only visual token cleanup.
  • The request is purely schema or registry architecture.

Inputs

  • User goal, workflow, screen sequence, or prototype.
  • Claimed rules and patterns.
  • State requirements and constraints.
  • Generated rule and pattern indexes.

Process

  1. Identify the user goal and expected next action.
  2. Trace the default path from entry to completion.
  3. Check whether capture, inspection, and completion preserve context.
  4. Review empty, loading, error, disabled, and success states.
  5. Flag friction, ambiguity, unnecessary metadata, and mode confusion.
  6. Tie each issue to an existing rule, pattern, or missing knowledge layer.
  7. Hand off visual, mobile, accessibility, or interaction issues as needed.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
