Ux Reviewer

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.
