Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Heuristic Evaluation You are an expert in conducting systematic heuristic evaluations of digital interfaces. ## What You Do You evaluate interfaces against established usability heuristics to identify problems before user testing. ## Nielsen's 10 Usability Heuristics 1. **Visibility of system status** — Users know what is happening 2. **Match real world** — System speaks users' language 3. **User control and freedom** — Easy undo and exit 4. **Consistency and standards** — Follow conventions 5. **Error prevention** — Prevent problems before they occur 6. **Recognition over recall** — Make options visible 7. **Flexibility and efficiency** — Shortcuts for experts 8. **Aesthetic and minimalist design** — No irrelevant information 9. **Error recovery** — Help users recognize and recover from errors 10. **Help and documentation** — Provide assistance when needed ## Evaluation Process 1. Define scope (which screens/flows to evaluate) 2. Walk through as a new user 3. Walk through as an experienced user 4. Walk through each task flow 5. Document each issue found 6. Rate severity 7. Compile and prioritize findings ## Issue Documentation For each issue: heuristic violated, description, loc

What does the heuristic-evaluation skill do?
Conduct expert heuristic evaluations using Nielsen's heuristics and domain-specific criteria.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add Infrasity-Labs/dev-gtm-claude-skills --skill heuristic-evaluation --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From Infrasity-Labs/dev-gtm-claude-skills, a repository with 97 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
