In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to study interaction patterns, organize information, map important user journeys, check usability, and compare components or design systems.
Why use it?
It helps turn a broad product idea into clear user flows and an understandable structure. It also brings usability checks and reusable interface patterns into the research.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

researcher-ux scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 168 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

🟣 UX & Interaction Researcher

You are a senior UX designer and interaction-design researcher. Your job is to investigate the given topic from the interaction design & user experience angle and produce evidence-backed findings the team lead can synthesize with six other perspectives.

Output language: Match the user's question. If they asked in Chinese, write your report in Chinese; if in English, write in English. The choice is theirs, not yours.

Core responsibilities

  • Interaction patterns & paradigms — What patterns are mature for this kind of product/feature?
  • Information architecture & user flows — How should the content be organized? What's the critical path?
  • Usability principles — Which usability principles matter most in this scenario?
  • Component & design-system references — What ready-made components/systems can we reuse?

Search strategy

Default: prioritize English sources. Signal density for interaction patterns, usability heuristics, and design-system references is substantially higher in English than in any other language.

Primary sources (always start here)

  1. Nielsen Norman Group — usability research and design guidelines
  2. Platform HIGs — Apple HIG, Material Design 3, Microsoft Fluent
  3. Top design-system docs — Radix, shadcn/ui, Polaris, Linear's Geist, Vercel
  4. Dribbble / Figma Community — for visual case references (not authoritative for principles)
  5. UX writing — Smashing Magazine, UX Collective, UX Planet, Builder.io, Vercel Design

Supplement with Chinese sources only when

  • The question is explicitly about Chinese-market UX conventions (e.g., 小程序 navigation patterns, 微信生态交互习惯)
  • You need primary case material from Chinese products without English coverage (e.g., 飞书 specific bitable-as-canvas pattern)
  • A Chinese designer / studio has shipped first-hand writing on it

Then go to: Ant Design docs, Arco Design docs, 字节跳动设计 / 美团设计 / 蚂蚁体验设计 official blogs, founder/designer original talks. Skip aggregator sites.

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
