UX Usability Foundations
Purpose
Help an agent make interfaces understandable, usable, forgiving, and aligned with user expectations. Treat usability as product behavior, not surface decoration. The agent should turn unclear or fragile UI into an interface where users can quickly answer: what is this, what can I do here, where am I, what happened, how do I recover, and is this worth the effort?
When to use this skill
Use this skill when the user asks you to critique, redesign, create, or specify a UI, flow, form, app screen, website, dashboard, onboarding, settings page, checkout, navigation model, state behavior, or component interaction for usability. Use it for affordances/signifiers, feedback, constraints, errors, empty/loading/success states, recognition over recall, task clarity, and frontend behavior.
When not to use this skill
Do not use as the primary skill for deep research operations, brand styling systems, visual polish, typography craft, frontend architecture, or persuasion/growth tactics unless those choices directly affect user understanding, control, or recovery.
