In one minute
- A sub-skill of Pre-launch activities, invoked alongside SEO and Accessibility, once Validation & testing passes.
- Covers what functional tests do not: a flow that works but feels clumsy, a missing loading state, an error message no one would understand.
- Draws the same line Accessibility does, fix the small, low-risk stuff directly, flag anything that would change layout or interaction significantly, rather than deciding alone.

description: Reviews the built product's everyday usability, loading states, error messages, empty states, and small friction points a functional test would not catch. Use alongside seo and accessibility, once validation-and-testing passes.

Walk through the product's main flows as a first-time user would, not as someone who already knows where everything is.
Fix small, low-risk friction directly: inconsistent spacing, a missing loading state, an unclear button label.
Flag anything that would change layout or interaction significantly, instead of choosing on your own.Where it fits
Invoked by Pre-launch activities, after Validation & testing passes, alongside SEO and Accessibility. None of the three depends on either of the others. Once all four sub-skills in this phase report back, the whole process is done.
