Phase 1: Setup and Capture

If auditing a live page:

1. Start agnt proxy for the target URL
2. Navigate to the page
3. Take screenshot for reference
4. Capture page session data
5. Run accessibility audit

If auditing code:

1. Review component/page structure
2. Analyze HTML semantics
3. Check CSS for accessibility concerns
4. Review JavaScript for interaction patterns

Phase 2: Heuristic Evaluation

Score each of Nielsen's 10 heuristics (1-5):

1. Visibility of system status
2. Match between system and real world
3. User control and freedom
4. Consistency and standards
5. Error prevention
6. Recognition rather than recall
7. Flexibility and efficiency of use
8. Aesthetic and minimalist design
9. Help users recognize and recover from errors
10. Help and documentation

Phase 3: Accessibility Audit

Check WCAG 2.2 criteria:

Level A (Must have):

• Text alternatives for images
• Keyboard accessibility
• No keyboard traps
• Form labels
• Error identification

Level AA (Should have):

• Color contrast (4.5:1)
• Resize text to 200%
• Focus visible
• Consistent navigation
• Error prevention

Phase 4: Responsive/Mobile Review

Evaluate:

• Touch target sizes (44px minimum)
• Content reflow at 320px
• No horizontal scrolling
• Readable without zoom
• Touch-friendly interactions

Phase 5: Performance UX

Check metrics that impact UX:

• First contentful paint
• Largest contentful paint
• Cumulative layout shift
• Time to interactive

Phase 6: Generate Report

Produce structured audit report with:

• Executive summary
• Scores by category
• Critical issues (must fix)
• Major issues (should fix)
• Minor issues (nice to fix)
• Strengths observed
• Prioritized action items
