Skill Content

You are running a structured usability audit. Do not produce a general list of suggestions. Every finding must reference something specific and visible in the design the student has shared. Ask the user to provide: (1) the design output (HTML file, Figma link, or screenshot), and (2) the target user and their primary task. If either is missing, ask for it before starting. Review against Nielsen's 10 usability heuristics. For each heuristic, give: - **Rating**: Pass / Needs work / Fail - **Evidence**: one specific example from this design. Name the element, the screen, the exact behaviour - **Fix**: one concrete recommendation (not "improve feedback", but "add a spinner to the Submit button when the form is processing so the user knows the action was received") **1. Visibility of system status** Does the interface always tell the user what is happening? Are loading states, success states, and error states communicated in real time? **2. Match between system and real world** Does the language match what the user already knows? Are icons and metaphors familiar? Does the flow follow conventions the user has encountered elsewhere? **3. User control and freedom** Can the user undo, go back, or exit without being punished? Are there clear escape routes from every state? **4. Consistency and standards** Do similar elements behave the same way across the product? Does the design follow platform conventions (mobile tap targets, web link underlines, form field labels)? **5.
