Player UX

Category: Product  ·  Sub-category: accessibility  ·  Last updated:
Cognitive load management for players: perception/attention/memory framework, Gestalt principles for game UI, signal-noise discipline on the HUD, onboarding ramp design, and tooltip/affordance patterns. Use when designing UI or HUD layouts, writing tutorials or first-time-user flows, evaluating whether players can read the screen at a glance, debugging 'confusing' feedback, deciding what information goes where (HUD, pause, codex, none), or when playtesters say 'I didn't know I could do that' or 'I missed that this happened.' For deeper accessibility work see accessibility-design.

From the source SKILL.md

Purpose: Apply cognitive science to game interface and interaction design. The player's brain has hard constraints — limited attention, lossy perception, fragile memory. Design with those constraints, not against them.
