nielsen-heuristics

Grades interfaces and specs against Nielsen's 10 usability heuristics.

nielsen-heuristics

This skill should be used to run a formal heuristic evaluation of a design artifact against Jakob Nielsen's 10 usability heuristics, producing an evidence-backed, severity-scored report.

This skill moved. nielsen-heuristics now ships in the humane plugin — a design method cycle where it sits alongside the skills it hands off to.

npx skills add glebis/humane-agentic-design

In Claude Code:

/plugin marketplace add glebis/humane-agentic-design
/plugin install humane@humane-agentic-design

What it does

Evidence-backed heuristic usability evaluation.

Why it moved

A skill published from two repositories drifts, and this one had. The copy that used to live here was frozen in 2026-07 and was missing the shared review contract that consolidates it with the other humane skills.

Keeping it installable would have meant running the old behaviour while reading the current documentation — so this page now points at the maintained version instead of shipping a second one.
