Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned daffy0208/ai-dev-standards at 32c3241e48.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

The Usability Tester skill simulates user interactions to identify potential issues with websites or applications and improve overall user experience. It focuses on observing users as they attempt specific tasks, revealing usability problems that surveys or analytics might miss. The goal is to validate whether users can successfully complete core tasks through systematic observation of their struggles.

When to use it

This skill is useful for:

  • Validating the completion of key onboarding steps (e.g., "Can users complete onboarding in under 5 minutes?").
  • Ensuring users can find and utilize specific features (e.g., "Can users find and use the export feature?").
  • Confirming user understanding of important information, such as pricing pages or tier details.
  • Identifying points where users get stuck during sign-up processes.
  • Testing discoverability by avoiding step-by-step instructions in task scenarios.

Key capabilities

  • Task Scenario Generation: Creates realistic and contextualized task scenarios for user testing.
  • Objective Definition: Helps define clear, behavioral test objectives (e.g., "Can users complete onboarding in <5 minutes?").
  • Research Question Formulation: Generates questions to guide observation during usability tests (e.g., "Where do users get stuck during sign-up?").
  • Think-Aloud Protocol Support: Provides guidance on facilitating user testing using the think-aloud protocol, encouraging participants to verbalize their thought processes.

Example prompts

  • "Create a task scenario for a new user trying to create their first project in a project management tool."
  • "What are some research questions I should ask when observing users attempting to find the settings page?"
  • "Generate a realistic task scenario for inviting a team member to collaborate on a project."

Tips & gotchas

  • Focus on Observation: The skill emphasizes observing user behavior, not asking leading questions or seeking subjective opinions.
  • Realistic Scenarios are Key: Avoid step-by-step instructions in task scenarios; instead, provide context and a clear goal.
  • Iterative Testing: Testing in waves (e.g., 5 users, fix issues, then another 5) is recommended to maximize efficiency.
