UX CORE (UXC) — Bob

A Claude plugin that surfaces relevant cognitive biases when you're building user-facing products. Powered by 105 biases and 63 curated product questions from UX CORE by Wolf Alexanyan / KeepSimple.

What it does

Describe what you're building or the problem you're facing — and Bob tells you which psychological patterns apply, what to do about them, and what could backfire. With before/after visual demos.

Bob works two ways:

• Building something? (pricing page, onboarding, checkout, email) → Bob picks the most relevant biases and gives concrete actions
• Diagnosing a problem? ("why aren't our promotions working?", "users blame us for their mistakes") → Bob matches your problem to 63 curated product questions with pre-mapped bias recommendations

Install

Skills.sh (recommended):

npx skills add aram-m/uxcore

Claude Code (CLI):

claude plugin marketplace add github:aram-m/uxcore
claude plugin install uxcore

Claude.ai: Zip the skills/bob/ directory and upload via Settings > Skills > Upload Skill.

Usage

Invoke directly:

/bob I'm designing a cancellation flow for our SaaS

Or just describe a product/UX task — Bob auto-triggers on pricing, onboarding, checkout, copy, notifications, forms, A/B tests, and other user-facing work.

Examples

Building something:

"I'm designing a pricing page with three tiers: $9, $29, $99/mo"

Bob responds with relevant biases (Anchoring, Decoy Effect, Contrast Effect...), each with a concrete action for your specific tiers, an ASCII or HTML before/after demo, and a "Watch out" section flagging risks.

Diagnosing a problem:

"Why aren't our promotions working? We've been running discounts but conversion is flat."

Bob matches this to a curated question, pulls pre-mapped biases (Curse of Knowledge, Conjunction Fallacy, Self-Reference Effect...) with contextual explanations of why each one applies to your situation, and adapts recommendations to your specific context.
