Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned cassiozen/ux-antipatterns at 462d2f2ba9.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

This skill identifies and explains common user experience (UX) antipatterns. It can help you recognize problematic design choices, understand why they are ineffective, and suggest alternative solutions to improve usability and user satisfaction. The skill focuses on recognizing patterns that hinder a positive user experience.

When to use it

  • Reviewing designs: Before launching a new website or app feature, ask the agent to identify potential UX antipatterns.
  • Analyzing existing interfaces: Evaluate current digital products for usability issues and areas for improvement.
  • Understanding user feedback: Help interpret negative user comments by identifying if they stem from common design flaws.
  • Brainstorming alternative solutions: When facing a design challenge, use the skill to explore approaches that avoid known UX pitfalls.

Key capabilities

  • Identification of UX antipatterns
  • Explanation of why these patterns are problematic
  • Suggestion of alternative design solutions

Example prompts

  • "Analyze this website homepage and identify any UX antipatterns." (Provide URL)
  • "What are some common problems with hamburger menus, and what are better alternatives?"
  • “Explain the 'hidden costs' anti-pattern in e-commerce.”

Tips & gotchas

The skill’s effectiveness relies on clear descriptions or URLs of the designs being analyzed. It is not a substitute for user testing; it provides an initial assessment based on established UX principles.
