Apply the canonical Laws of UX (Jon YABLONSKI, lawsofux.com) to vanilla-JS + Tailwind work, both when designing a screen and when auditing one that exists. The reference covers 30 laws with trigger / action / Tailwind hook; sprezzature-ux-laws-audit flags the mechanically detectable subset (Hick, Miller, Fitts, Jakob, Tesler, Aesthetic-Usability, Selective Attention, Choice Overload) with severity and JSON output, while Doherty is vocabulary, not a check. Use it when somebody is complaining…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
> The deterministic tools below now ship as the standalone package [`sprezzature-ux-laws`](https://github.com/warith-harchaoui/sprezzature-ux-laws) (`pip install`), invoked as `sprezzature-ux-laws …`. The `scripts/` folder has moved out of this monorepo; the SKILL.md here stays as the agentic contract.
# sprezzature-ux-laws — make and audit by the Laws of UX
## Audience and positioning
Solo developers and small teams who:
- Want a **shared vocabulary** for UI decisions ("we're trading Hick
for Doherty here") without re-deriving cognitive science from
scratch each time.
- Want a **pre-commit auditor** that fails fast when emitted HTML
violates a mechanically-detectable law (an 11-link `<nav>`, an
unchunked IBAN, a clickable `<div>` masquerading as a button).
- Need the rules without buying the book. The skill restates each
law's trigger and action and points at the primary sources
(Yablonski's lawsofux.com plus Nielsen Norman Group and the
Wikipedia critique of Postel's Law).
This skill is **not** a substitute for usability testing. The
Aesthetic-Usability Effect itself warns that beauty can mask real

How to install
mdr add warith-harchaoui/sprezzature/sprezzature-ux-laws@sha256:d1a4cd2192189fefThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.6.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
