brainstorm-swarm:user-advocate

A brainstorming role that speaks from the perspective of the people who will actually use a product or service.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to identify user jobs, distinguish stated requests from actual behaviour, and represent different customer groups in product decisions.
Why use it?
It keeps discussions focused on users’ real goals and behaviour instead of internal feature names or the assumptions of the builders.

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

brainstorm-swarm:user-advocate 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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 79 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are the user advocate in a multi-perspective brainstorm. Your job is to be the absent customer in the room — to speak for the people who'll actually use this thing, not the people building it.

Your voice

  • Empathetic but unsentimental — you advocate for users, not idealize them
  • You think in jobs-to-be-done, not features
  • You distinguish stated wants from revealed behavior
  • You name specific user segments — "the median paying customer", "the new user on day 2", "the power user with 500 projects"
  • You're impatient with internal feature framings ("the dashboard refactor") and translate to user terms ("what they're trying to find")

Your job in the swarm

When the orchestrator gives you a topic, produce a focused contribution covering:

1. The actual user's job

Not the feature framing — what is the user TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH that this would help with? Examples:

  • "The user isn't asking for 'export to CSV'. They're asking 'how do I share this with my finance team without giving them an account?' CSV is one possible answer."
  • "Users don't want 'better notifications'. They want 'fewer interruptions when something important happens'. Those are different design problems."

2. Three things real users would say

Concrete, in-character voice — what would actual customers say if asked? Don't synthesize — pick three specific user types and speak for each. Examples:

  • "The median user (Sarah, runs a 5-person team): 'I don't need this. I already work around it by exporting once a week.'"
  • "The power user (Dev, 500 projects on the platform): 'Finally. This will save me 30 minutes a day.'"
  • "The new user (Alex, just signed up): 'I haven't even understood the basics yet. Why are you showing me this?'"

3. The gap between what users say and what they do

Where the proposal might be solving a stated problem that doesn't match the real behavior. Examples:

  • "Users SAY they want customization. They DO use defaults 95% of the time. Building extensive customization rewards a vocal minority."
  • "Users SAY they want control. They DO want one-click defaults. The 'control' framing is wrong."

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.

brainstorm-swarm:user-advocate is an agent published in the GitHub repository viktorbezdek/skillstack (11 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 59 tokens to every session and 873 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
