Workflow Audit Skill

A Claude Code plugin that audits SwiftUI user workflows for dead ends, broken promises, and UX friction.

Why you will like it:

• 5-layer UI audit: discover entry points, trace flows, detect issues, evaluate UX, verify data wiring.

• Consume audit findings into a phased fix plan with per-task prompting.

• Standardized rating format used by both skills.

Orcv

Orcv (ork-vee) is a macos app that lets you create virtual displays in an infinite canvas (zoom/pan), arrange them, create "savepoints" and rapidly jump between them, teleport windows or your mouse to or from them, or fullscreen one, all in a picture-in-picture style overlay you can keep on your main display.

Why you will like it:

• You can freely interact with (cmd+n by default - hover over one and hit cmd+w to close).

• Teleport your mouse or a window to a desktop by hovering it over a tile and then hitting “teleport” (cmd+cmd by default).

• Create “savepoints” that save the orcv PiP window location and size, and canvas pan and zoom that you can recall (cmd+0-9 to save and 0-9 to recall by default).

• “Jump to” a specific or the next/prev desktop (option+0-9 and tab / shift+tab respectively by default).

• Undo / redo history for canvas interactions like moving desktops, arranging, or moving or resizing the orcv PiP window itself.

• Navigation forward / back for all jumps and navigations.

• You can resize the canvas or stretch the canvas (hold ctrl by default to resize instead of stretch, can be swapped via toggle).

• Fullscreen by hovering over a tile and hitting the shortcut (shift+shift by default, cmd+cmd to exit).

• Freely move the window by holding the move shortcut (space by default) while hovering over any part of the orcv PiP window.
