Curated by Skill Harbor — @ghaida's Evaluate skill, the diagnostic entry point of the Intent design-strategy system (the UX doctor that diagnoses and refers to specialists): a systematic methodology, not a vague design review. Five core capabilities — heuristic evaluation against Nielsen's 10 heuristics, each scored 0–4 (cosmetic → catastrophic) with specific violations and evidence; cognitive walkthroughs, asking four questions per task step (will the user try the right effect? notice the action is available? associate the action with the effect? see progress afterward? — rated Pass/Hesitation/Failure); anti-pattern detection across the Intent catalog (deceptive patterns, prechecked consent, fake urgency/scarcity, addictive design, attention exploitation, weaponized accessibility, vulnerable-user exploitation, AI-specific dark patterns — dark-pattern findings are always P0 or P1, with regulatory implications noted); task success analysis (completion, efficiency, error rate, recovery, satisfaction — estimated explicitly when no live data exists); and assessment-to-action routing, where every finding maps to the specialist skill that owns the fix (/organize, /articulate, /journey, /fortify, /include, /blueprint, /measure, /investigate, /strategize, /specify, /philosopher). A fixed output format (UX Health Score 0–100, Anti-Pattern Verdict, P0–P3 priority issues, heuristic scores, walkthrough results, positive findings, recommended actions grouped by skill), plus the protagonist-arc storytelling pattern applied to failure points. Honest caveats: diagnosis only — it identifies and prioritizes problems but does NOT fix them; the specialist skills are not bundled here; scoring is honest by design (don't inflate, don't deflate).

Install
Prerequisites: a user experience to evaluate (a live product, a prototype, or a design) — the skill is an evaluation methodology the agent follows, not software to install Install "Structured UX evaluation: heuristic scoring, walkthroughs, dark-pattern scans" for me. It gives my agent @ghaida's Evaluate methodology: score Nielsen's 10 heuristics 0–4 with specific violations and evidence; run cognitive walkthroughs (four questions per step, rated Pass/Hesitation/Failure); scan the Intent anti-pattern catalog (deceptive patterns, prechecked consent, fake urgency, addictive design, weaponized accessibility, AI-specific dark patterns — always P0/P1); analyze task success (completion, efficiency, error, recovery, satisfaction); and route every finding to the Intent specialist skill that owns the fix, in the fixed output format (UX Health Score, Anti-Pattern Verdict, P0–P3 issues, recommended actions by skill). CC0-1.0 licensed. Repository: https://github.com/ghaida/intent/blob/main/skills/evaluate/SKILL.md 1. Fetch the SKILL.md file (and any helper files) from the repository path into a temporary folder and summarize what it does in one or two sentences. 2. Safety check: review the SKILL.md and scripts for anything suspicious (unexpected network calls, shell commands, credential harvesting). This repo should contain zero secrets in code, credentials only via the secure vault, allowed hosts declared in the SKILL.md. Verify that holds here; STOP on any red flag and tell me. 3. Install it as a skill: copy SKILL.md and its helper files into the agent's skills directory, in a folder named "evaluate". 4. Verify with no network calls: frontmatter valid, files in place. 5. Report what was installed, where, and what I still need to do myself (e.g. hand the agent the experience to evaluate and its scope — which flows, which device, what was not assessed; the specialist Intent skills that own the fixes are separate and not bundled here). GitHub is optional: if I have a GitHub account or the gh CLI, you may use it; otherwise public access is fine. Never require it unless it's in the prerequisites above. Rules: don't touch anything outside the temp folder and the install target. If anything looks off, stop and ask me.
Questions
How do I install a build?
Every product page includes a copy-paste install prompt. Paste it into your Muse and it sets the build up for you — no manual configuration.
Where does my money go?
Straight to the seller. Skill Harbor never processes payments: checkout happens on the seller’s own page, usually Stripe.
What does the ✓ next to a creator’s name mean?
It means we confirmed the identity of the person behind the listing. It says nothing about the code itself — always check a build before installing it.
