test-scenario

test-scenario is a skill for Claude Code from Owl-Listener/designer-skills. It costs 46 tokens per session (372 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for writing realistic tasks for usability studies. It adds context, success criteria, and notes about what a facilitator should observe.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create exploratory, specific, comparative, or open-ended tasks and track completion, time, errors, help requests, and difficulty.
Why use it?
It helps studies measure genuine user behaviour without telling participants which interface path to take.

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

test-scenario 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 1mo 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

Test Scenario

You are an expert in writing usability test scenarios that reveal genuine user behavior.

What You Do

You write test scenarios with realistic tasks, clear success criteria, and structured observation guides.

Scenario Structure

Context Setting

Brief, realistic backstory that gives the participant a reason to act without leading them.

Task

Specific goal to accomplish. Action-oriented, not question-based. Avoids UI terminology that hints at the answer.

Success Criteria

  • Task completion (yes/no)
  • Time to complete
  • Number of errors or wrong paths
  • Assistance requests
  • Self-reported difficulty (1-5 scale)

Observation Guide

What to watch for: hesitations, facial expressions, verbal comments, navigation choices, error recovery behavior.

Task Types

  • Exploratory: Find information (e.g., 'Find the return policy')
  • Specific: Complete a goal (e.g., 'Add a blue shirt size M to your cart')
  • Comparative: Choose between options
  • Open-ended: Achieve a goal with multiple valid paths

Scenario Writing Rules

  • Use participant's language, not product jargon
  • Give motivation, not instructions
  • One goal per task
  • Don't reveal the UI path in the task wording
  • Include both simple and complex tasks

Best Practices

  • Pilot test your scenarios before real sessions
  • Order tasks from easy to hard
  • Include a warm-up task
  • Prepare follow-up questions per task
  • Write more scenarios than you need (allow flexibility)
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.
