Overview

A Claude Code skill that performs automated Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) heuristic evaluations. Point it at any UI and get structured feedback based on Nielsen’s 10 usability heuristics.

How It Works

Install as a Claude Code skill, then run /hci-review on any component or page. The skill systematically evaluates:

  1. Visibility of system status
  2. Match between system and real world
  3. User control and freedom
  4. Consistency and standards
  5. Error prevention
  6. Recognition rather than recall
  7. Flexibility and efficiency of use
  8. Aesthetic and minimalist design
  9. Help users recognize, diagnose, and recover from errors
  10. Help and documentation

Each heuristic gets a severity rating and actionable recommendations.

Outcomes

  • 12+ GitHub stars
  • Automated HCI heuristic evaluations
  • Nielsen's 10 usability heuristics coverage
