⛔ This skill MUST be read in full — not skimmed. Formal review gates depend on its workflow.
Skipping steps silently bypasses quality checks. Missing gates = undetected breakages.

Reviewer — UX Realism

Skill type: Modular — independently invocable, reusable across Workflows.
Continuity: none — fresh session per invocation, no state carried between calls.

Stress-tests workflow descriptions against real-world constraints: network latency, partial data, concurrent users, device limitations, and human error. A workflow that reads cleanly on paper may break under these conditions.

When Used

Dispatched by the fractal planning pipeline during the Workflows substep when the epic's UX complexity axis is rated medium or high.

Inputs Required

• Workflows section of the epic doc — the step-by-step workflow descriptions
• User Journeys section — for context on what triggers each workflow
• Technical constraints from the epic (if any: target devices, offline requirements, API latency expectations)

Checks to Run

P0 — Must Fix

UXR1 — Impossible sequence:

• Workflow step depends on data or state that doesn't exist yet at that point in the flow
• E.g., "user reviews order summary" before "user adds items to cart"
• Flag with exact step numbers

UXR2 — Missing prerequisite:

• Workflow assumes a precondition that isn't established (authentication, data loaded, permission granted)
• Flag the missing prerequisite

P1 — Should Fix

UXR3 — Network dependency without fallback:

• Step that requires network (API call, file upload) but no loading/error/offline state described
• Flag with the specific step

UXR4 — Concurrency blind spot:

• Workflow assumes single-user, single-session behavior when the feature involves shared state
• Flag race condition scenarios (two users editing same resource, simultaneous submissions)

UXR5 — Data volume assumption:

• Workflow describes interactions that break at realistic data volumes (e.g., "scroll through all items" with 10,000 items)
• Flag with suggested mitigation (pagination, search, filter)

P2 — Should Fix (blocks merge)

UXR6 — Device constraint:

• Interaction that's impractical on target devices (e.g., drag-and-drop on mobile, hover on touch)
• Flag with device context

UXR7 — Recovery path:

• Workflow interrupted mid-sequence — no recovery or resume path described
• Flag with suggestion (save draft, resume later, idempotent operations)
