Ensure consistent, professional report formatting across all UX evaluation types. This skill standardizes output format, severity scales, and report structure.

When to Use

After completing any evaluation (heuristics, accessibility, flow)
When combining findings from multiple evaluations
When creating executive summaries
When exporting to different formats
When generating stakeholder presentations

Capabilities

Standardized formatting - Consistent structure across all reports
Severity normalization - Unified 0-4 scale
Multiple output formats - Markdown, JSON
Executive summaries - High-level findings
Priority matrices - Impact vs effort analysis
Remediation roadmaps - Actionable timelines

Standard Report Structure

All reports follow this structure:

# [Report Type] Report

## Metadata
- URL, date, evaluator, scope

## Executive Summary
- Overall score/status
- Key metrics
- Top 3-5 findings
- Critical actions

## Detailed Findings
- Organized by category
- Each with: severity, location, evidence, fix

## Priority Matrix
- Impact vs effort analysis
- Quick wins highlighted

## Recommendations
- Immediate, short-term, long-term
- Estimated effort

## Appendix
- Screenshots
- Methodology
- References

Severity Scale (Universal)

All evaluations use this scale:

Severity	Label	Definition	Priority
0	Not an issue	No problem found	None
1	Cosmetic	Minor issue	Low - fix if time
2	Minor	Causes inconvenience	Medium - schedule fix
3	Major	Significant problem	High - fix soon
4	Critical	Catastrophic issue	Urgent - fix now

Mapping from Other Scales

Source Scale	Severity 4	Severity 3	Severity 2	Severity 1
WCAG	Critical	Serious	Moderate	Minor
Friction	Score 5	Score 4	Score 3	Score 1-2
Nielsen	Catastrophe	Major	Minor	Cosmetic

Usage Examples

Generate from Heuristics Evaluation

Use the report-generator skill to format the heuristics findings into a comprehensive report with executive summary and priority matrix.

Combine Multiple Evaluations

Use the report-generator skill to create a unified report combining:
- Heuristics evaluation findings
- Accessibility audit results
- Flow test analysis

Generate both markdown and JSON outputs.

Executive Summary Only

Use the report-generator skill to create a 1-page executive summary of the audit findings for stakeholder presentation.

Best Practices

Use consistent terminology - Stick to the severity scale
Include evidence - Every finding needs screenshot reference
Be specific - Reference exact elements/selectors
Prioritize actionably - Quick wins first
Provide solutions - Not just problems
Consider audience - Technical detail for devs, summary for execs
