ux-notifications-and-toasts

Design or critique notifications — pick the right type (badge, banner, snackbar, toast, alert, push) for the message's urgency, and respect user attention with timing, frequency, and opt-out controls. Trigger when the user asks to design or review notifications, toasts, snackbars, badges, banners, alerts, push notifications, or a notification strategy.

# Notifications & Toasts Skill

## How this skill behaves (read first)

This is a **generative** skill. The default failure modes: **urgency inflation** (everything is an alert; success messages interrupt), **frequency abuse** (repeat pings for the same event until users kill all notifications), and **attention disrespect** (badges for non-notifications, pings with no user value). A notification spends the user's attention — the type must match the message's *actual* urgency, and the system must stay worth listening to. This skill gates:

1. **Establish urgency, audience moment, and channel** — these pick the type.
2. **Apply the always-true core** — type-urgency match, frequency discipline, content brevity, user control.
3. **Surface the engagement levers** (push strategy, personalization, rich media) with trade-offs — this is dark-patterns-adjacent territory.

Then it **hands off to `ux-heuristics-audit`, `ux-accessibility-audit`, `ux-aesthetics-audit`, `ux-microcopy-audit`, and `ux-dark-patterns-audit`** for validation.
