UX & Interaction Review

Combined review of usability and interaction design. Evaluates whether an interface works mechanically (state coverage, feedback, timing, error recovery) and whether users can accomplish their goals efficiently (heuristics, flow, progressive disclosure).

This skill merges the "how does it work?" axis: heuristics, state coverage, feedback patterns, keyboard behavior, timing, animation, and error handling.

When to Use

• Reviewing new or existing components before release
• Evaluating multi-state interactions (modals, popovers, wizards, dashboards)
• Auditing error/empty/loading/success state handling
• Assessing feedback timing and animation choreography
• Checking keyboard behavior and escape hatches
• PR reviews that touch interactive code
• Design system component reviews

Do NOT use for purely visual/aesthetic concerns (typography, color palettes, spacing rhythm) or for mapping the user's emotional journey across sessions. Use design-journey-review for those.
