By Uxcel-Lab/product-skills (GitHub) · design · 40 stars · scanned at commit 5007cd0

Audit a UI, flow, or copy for dark (deceptive) patterns — design that manipulates users into unintended actions. Produces a prioritized findings list naming each pattern, its intent, severity, and an honest-design fix. Use when reviewing conversion flows, checkouts, paywalls, sign-ups, or cancellation flows for ethical design issues.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

We found nothing in the files we read that matches our rules. That does not prove the skill is safe: see the limits of static scanning.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'ux-dark-patterns-audit' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'ux-dark-patterns-audit' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named ux-dark-patterns-audit already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/Uxcel-Lab/product-skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '5007cd0241ccaa51ae2e4681f9618912dc10e239' -- 'ux/audits/dark-patterns' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'ux/audits/dark-patterns' ~/.agents/skills/'ux-dark-patterns-audit' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'ux-dark-patterns-audit' ~/.claude/skills/'ux-dark-patterns-audit' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
