ai-interaction-patterns — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited ai-interaction-patterns (Agent Skill) and scored it 100/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 0 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

AI-specific UX patterns for designing interfaces where users interact with AI models. Covers the full interaction lifecycle: from first prompt to output verification, memory persistence, and trust building.

Use these patterns when asking about AI UX, AI interaction, prompt UX, AI trust, AI disclosure, AI avatar, AI personality, AI memory UX, action plan UX, stream of thought, AI citations, AI controls, AI wayfinding, AI suggestions, gallery pattern, follow-up pattern, draft mode, AI variations, AI consent, AI caveat, human-in-the-loop, AI transparency, AI state, prompt design, AI onboarding, or generative UI.

| "I need AI to do something complex" | Action Plan, Stream of Thought |
| "Is this AI or human?" | Disclosure, Avatar, Name |
| "Don't store my data" | Incognito Mode, Consent, Data Ownership |

| Rule | Why |
|---|---|
| NEVER use photorealistic avatars unless AI matches that capability | Sets unrealistic expectations, erodes trust |
| ALWAYS show Stream of Thought for tasks > 5 seconds | Users abandon when they can't see progress |
| NEVER let Memory be a black box | Users must see, edit, and delete what AI remembers |
| ALWAYS offer Controls (at minimum: stop) during generation | Users need escape hatches |
| NEVER rely solely on Caveats for safety | Caveat blindness is real; design the system to be safe |
| ALWAYS distinguish AI content from human content in blended UIs | Users may unknowingly present AI work as their own |
| NEVER overwrite user work without Verification | Accidental overwrites destroy trust instantly |
