ss-audit — UX Heuristic Audit
Audits a screen against Nielsen's 10 usability heuristics plus mobile UX rules and returns a graded, severity-ranked issue list.
What it does
Runs a structured UX audit on a file path or screen name you pass in.
- Walks Nielsen's 10 usability heuristics as explicit checkboxes: system status, real-world match, user control, consistency, error prevention, recognition, efficiency, minimalism, error recovery, help
- Adds mobile-specific checks: 44x44px touch targets, 8px spacing between targets, no hover-only interactions, skeletons within 300ms, notch and home-indicator safe areas
- Flags dark patterns such as forced bottom sheets, exit-prevention dialogs and manipulative CTAs
- Reports an A+ to F score plus Critical / Major / Minor issues and concrete code-change recommendations
It is read-only (Read, Grep, Glob), so nothing gets modified. In styleseed projects it resolves the artifact bundle under .styleseed/ before judging token and grammar compliance.
Who it's for
- Frontend engineers who want a pre-release UX QA pass
- Product designers standardising screen review criteria across a team
- Teams already using the styleseed design-system workflow
Examples
/ss-audit src/screens/CheckoutScreen.tsx— catches a missing destructive-action confirmation, vague error copy, and undersized tap areas/ss-audit Home Dashboard— diagnoses card density, competing hero metrics, and missing skeleton states- Audit your five most-used screens before a release and convert only the Critical findings into fix tickets

Install in Claude Code
Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code
Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart. Copy the engine/.claude/skills/ss-audit folder from the GitHub repo bitjaru/styleseed into my ~/.claude/skills/ss-audit/. When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.
Install with a command instead
git clone https://github.com/bitjaru/styleseed.git /tmp/styleseed && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r /tmp/styleseed/engine/.claude/skills/ss-audit ~/.claude/skills/⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.
- Open a terminal and clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/bitjaru/styleseed.git - Create your personal skills folder:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills - Copy the skill:
cp -r styleseed/engine/.claude/skills/ss-audit ~/.claude/skills/ - (Optional) Copy the companion skills
ss-a11y,ss-reviewandss-copyso the cross-references work. - Restart Claude Code and run
/ss-audit <file-path or screen-name>. - For styleseed projects, initialise the
.styleseed/registry first so design-token and grammar rules are validated too.
