/jaan-to:ux-heatmap-analyze

Analyze heatmap CSV exports and screenshots to generate prioritized UX research reports.


What It Does

Analyzes heatmap data by combining:

  • CSV data: Element click/tap rankings from analytics tool exports
  • Screenshots: Heatmap images for visual pattern analysis (Claude Vision)
  • HTML (optional): Page source for resolving CSS selectors to human-readable element names

Produces a prioritized research report with cross-validated findings, confidence scores, and ICE-scored recommendations.


Usage

With file paths:

/jaan-to:ux-heatmap-analyze path/to/clicks.csv path/to/heatmap.png path/to/page.html "Why are users bouncing?"

With CSV + screenshot only:

/jaan-to:ux-heatmap-analyze data/clicks.csv data/heatmap.png

Interactive wizard:

/jaan-to:ux-heatmap-analyze

Supported Data Formats

Format A: Aggregated Element Data

Ranked element exports from analytics tools. CSV has a metadata section followed by a data table:

Metadata:
Project name, Date range, URL, Page views, Total clicks, Metric type, Behavior segment

Data:
Rank | Button (CSS Selector) | Clicks | % of clicks
1 | nav > button.next | 1,444 | 9.73%
2 | nav > button.prev | 1,290 | 8.69%
...

Format B: Raw Coordinate Data

Event-level exports with individual click coordinates:

timestamp | session_id | x_coordinate | y_coordinate | viewport_width | device_type
2026-01-27T14:23:45Z | sess_abc | 425 | 687 | 1920 | desktop

The skill auto-detects which format your CSV uses.


What It Asks

QuestionWhen
CSV format?Only if auto-detection fails
Analysis goal?Always (friction, CTA, comparison, other)
Multi-file mode?When multiple CSVs provided
Proceed with report?Before generation (HARD STOP)
Write to file?Before writing output
Feedback?After writing

Analysis Capabilities

With Aggregated Data (Format A)

AnalysisAvailable
Element click distribution (Pareto)Yes
CTA effectivenessYes
Navigation pattern analysisYes
Desktop vs mobile comparisonYes
Behavior segment comparisonYes
CSS-to-HTML element mappingYes (with HTML)
Dead element detectionYes (with HTML)
Rage click detectionNo (needs timestamps)
Scroll depth analysisNo (needs scroll data)
Hesitation zone detectionNo (needs timing)

With Raw Data (Format B)

All of the above, plus rage click detection, scroll analysis, hesitation zones, and session flow reconstruction.


Output

Path: jaan-to/outputs/ux/heatmap/{slug}/report.md

Example: jaan-to/outputs/ux/heatmap/checkout-page/report.md

Contains:

  • Action summary with top 3-5 prioritized actions (bullets, no narrative)
  • Findings with insight, inline actions, ICE scores, and evidence
  • Confidence scores with validation status
  • A/B test and UX research ideas derived from findings
  • Element mapping table (CSS selector → human-readable name)
  • Device/segment comparison (if applicable)
  • Limitations and methodology (compact footer)

Tips

  • Provide HTML alongside CSV for much richer analysis — CSS selectors alone are often unreadable
  • Include multiple CSVs (desktop + mobile) for comparison insights
  • State your research question for focused analysis instead of generic exploration
  • Screenshots with very tall dimensions (>5000px) may reduce vision accuracy for lower sections
  • Normalize by page views when comparing files with different traffic volumes
