Human Interface Guidelines (1992)

Use this skill to apply and audit user interfaces against the classic desktop conventions described in the 1992 guidelines.

Workflow

1) Establish context (ask if missing)

• Target environment: classic desktop-style UI, color depth, screen sizes, multi-monitor expectations.
• Audience: novice vs expert mix, accessibility needs, localization targets.
• Artifacts: screenshots, mockups, flows, specs, or code; plus constraints (toolkit limits, timeline).
