# Human-Flow Report Template Use this structure for all `scan`, `audit`, and `report` outputs. --- ## Human-Flow Report: **Date**: YYYY-MM-DD **Scanner**: human-flow v1 (mouse + keyboard intuition focus) **Scope**: **Overall Human Workflow Score**: X/10 - Mouse Ergonomics: X/10 - Keyboard Parity & Efficiency: X/10 - Workflow Discoverability & Friction: X/10 **Summary** (2-4 sentences: the biggest sources of unintuitive behavior for a human operator using mouse and keyboard, and the net effect on daily workflow.) ### High Friction (P0 — fix before broader use) List the most damaging issues for frequent tasks. #### Issue 1 — Severity: high (mouse + keyboard) - **Location**: `path/to/file.tsx:42` (or component + specific element) - **Pattern**: Hover-revealed row actions / small icon targets / missing keyboard activation / etc. - **Human Experience**: When scanning the Sessions list with a mouse, the Control and End buttons are dimmed until the pointer is exactly over the row. A keyboard user tabbing through never sees them at full strength. The primary action for an operator (taking control of a machine) requires extra precision and discovery. - **Why costly**: High-frequency task. Small miss rate + extra hover step adds up across dozens of sessions per day. Creates "hunt and hope" instead of "glance and act". - **Recommended improvement** (better for humans): - Make actions at least 70-80% opacity at rest (or always fully visible in a dedicated column). - Ensure the primary action (Control/View) is the strongest visual target and also activates on row click + Enter. - Add explicit `aria-label` + visible focus treatment. - Example pattern: always-visible ghost buttons with generous hit area + row click as power-user shortcut. #### Issue 2 — ... ### Medium Friction (P1) ... ### Low / Polish (P2) ... ### Strengths (things that already feel good for humans) - ... ### Fancy / Delight Opportunities (from `fancy` pass) This section only appears when the `fancy` command/mode is run. **Appropriateness verdict**: [Highly appropriate / Appropriate with restraint / Better kept minimal / Not appropriate for this surface] #### Delight Idea 1 — Category: micro-interaction / transition / loading / etc. - **Location**: ... - **Current state**: ... - **Opportunity**: A tasteful [specific elegant behavior] would make this interaction feel more premium and responsive. - **Why it fits (or doesn't)**: ... - **Suggested implementation notes**: ... - **Reduced-motion fallback**: ... (Repeat for 2–5 highest-leverage ideas. Be ruthless — only suggest things that genuinely elevate without adding noise.) ### Recommended Next Steps 1. ... 2. ... **Notes for implementation**: - Any change here should be validated with both `frontend-design` visual checklist and this scanner afterward. - Consider adding a small set of visible keyboard shortcuts for the top 2-3 actions and surface them in the UI (e.g. in a help footer or on hover of the main button). - After making fancy changes, re-run `human-flow fancy` to check that the additions feel intentional rather than tacked-on. --- ## Quick Reference for Common Fixes **Small targets** → Increase min size + padding. Use the generous wrapper pattern. **Hover-only actions** → Raise resting opacity or move to always-visible "Actions" area. Never rely on hover for primary or frequent actions. **Mouse-only activation** → Add `tabIndex`, `onKeyDown` for Enter/Space, strong `:focus-visible`, and `aria-*` labels. **Weak feedback** → Add immediate `:active`/loading state, row highlight on selection, and clear disabled messaging. **Precision-heavy workflows** → Widen hit areas, reduce number of steps, make the "obvious next thing" the biggest target. --- *This template is intentionally human-first in language. Every finding must explain the lived experience of a person with a mouse and keyboard, not just the code smell.*
