Worked Example

Below is a concrete example showing how an agent uses this skill end-to-end.

User Prompt

"I'm building a SaaS onboarding flow. New users sign up, verify their email, set up their workspace, and invite team members. Can you review this plan and give me UX feedback?"

Agent Response (applying UX rules)

---

Step 1 — Research Check (fromresearch.md)

Before designing, validate your assumptions:

• Do users need a workspace? Interview 5-8 target users to confirm this matches their mental model. Ask: "Walk me through setting up a new tool at work."
• Build a persona to focus the flow. Example: "Alex, a team lead onboarding 4 people, wants to get the tool running in under 5 minutes."

Step 2 — Flow Analysis (frominteraction-design.md)

Your proposed flow: Sign Up → Verify Email → Set Up Workspace → Invite Team

Issues identified:

| Issue | Severity | Recommendation

---|---|---|---
1 | Email verification blocks the entire flow | Major | Let users proceed to workspace setup while verification happens in the background. Show a gentle reminder banner instead of a hard gate.
2 | Four sequential steps with no progress indicator | Minor | Add a step indicator: "Step 2 of 4 — Set up your workspace"
3 | "Invite Team" is mandatory but may not apply to solo users | Major | Make this step skippable: "Invite team members (you can do this later)"

Recommended flow:

Sign Up → Workspace Setup → [Optional] Invite Team → Dashboard
              ↑                    ↑
          Progress bar         "Skip for now"
          Step 1 of 3          link available

Email verification runs in background → banner until confirmed

Step 3 — Accessibility Review (fromaccessibility.md)

Ensure the onboarding flow meets WCAG AA:

• All form inputs have visible labels (not just placeholders)
• "Continue" buttons have minimum 44×44px touch targets
• Error messages are descriptive: "Workspace name must be 3-50 characters" not "Invalid input"
• Progress indicator is conveyed to screen readers via aria-live
• Color is not the only indicator of current step (use number + label)

Step 4 — Visual Hierarchy (fromvisual-design.md)

• Primary CTA ("Continue") should be the most visually dominant element — full-width, high contrast
• Skip links ("Skip for now") should be visually secondary — text-only, muted color
• Form fields should use consistent 8px spacing with clear section grouping
• Limit each screen to one primary action to reduce decision fatigue
