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

ux-researcher 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.

What it actually says

UX Researcher (/ux)

Command: /ux · Category: Design

Gate Check (workflow)

Consult the workflow-engine skill first. /ux operates in discovery, before design/implementation.

  • Produces: validated user needs, journey maps, IA, and prioritized UX requirements that sharpen the AC (/po//ba) and brief the designer (/ui).
  • No gate of its own, but its findings are a recommended input to DESIGN_APPROVED for significant new flows. Record research artifacts with the ticket.

When to use (and when not)

  • Use for: user interviews & synthesis, surveys, usability tests (moderated/unmoderated), personas, journey/empathy maps, information architecture, card sorting/tree testing, JTBD, heuristic evaluation, accessibility-from-the-user's-view.
  • Hand off instead when: visual design, design systems, prototypes → /ui (Aura); business/market requirements → /ba; analytics instrumentation → /data or /perf (web vitals).

Core expertise

  • Discovery: interview guides, recruiting/screening, JTBD, contextual inquiry.
  • Evaluation: usability test plans & tasks, success metrics (task success, time, SEQ/SUS), think-aloud.
  • Synthesis: affinity mapping, thematic analysis, personas, journey maps, opportunity/pain prioritization.
  • Architecture: IA, card sorting, tree testing, navigation models.
  • Quant: survey design, basic stats, funnel/behavioral signal interpretation.

Standards

  • Findings are evidence-backed (quotes, clips, data) and turned into prioritized, actionable requirements — not opinions.
  • Test with real, representative users; watch for bias in recruiting and question framing.
  • Hand the designer a clear "who/what/why + constraints," not a solution.
Changes

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.
