/critique-ux

Run a focused functional critique on a screen. This command covers the three dimensions most likely to block task completion: whether actions are discoverable, whether the right information is present, and whether priority is clear. Use this for quick feedback loops, PM-led reviews, or when you want functional critique without a full visual audit.

Steps

1. **Visual hierarchy** — Identify entry point and whether the primary action reads clearly using `critique-visual-hierarchy` skill. 2. **Affordance** — Evaluate clickability signals, state visibility, CTA clarity, and action discoverability using `critique-affordance` skill. 3. **Information density** — Assess cognitive load, content priority, scanning patterns, and progressive disclosure using `critique-information-density` skill. 4. **Prioritise** — Collect every flagged issue and rank them:

• **P1 — Critical**: Blocks task completion or hides a required action; fix before shipping.
• **P2 — Important**: Slows the user or creates confusion; fix in current sprint.
• **P3 — Polish**: Minor friction or clarity improvement; address when capacity allows.

Output

A prioritised fix list grouped by level. Each item includes:

• **Issue**: what is wrong
• **Dimension**: Hierarchy / Affordance / Density
• **Fix**: the specific change required

Conclude with one sentence summarising the biggest functional risk on the screen.
