aidd-user-testing

aidd-user-testing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from paralleldrive/aidd. It costs 33 tokens per session (992 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A test-script generator for checking whether people and AI agents can complete a product journey. It uses a user journey and persona, including the person's skill level, patience, and goals.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating think-aloud scripts for recorded human tests and executable browser-agent scripts with screenshots. It helps validate that users can complete a specified task.
Why use it?
It turns a journey description into repeatable checks, so teams do not have to design human and browser-agent tests by hand. It also makes confusing steps and failures easier to record.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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

aidd-user-testing 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (user-testing.test.js), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

User Testing Generator

Use UserJourney and Persona from /aidd-product-manager

Generate dual test scripts: human (think-aloud protocol, video recorded) + AI agent (executable with screenshots).

Types

UserTestPersona { ...Persona role techLevel: "novice" | "intermediate" | "expert" patience: 1..10 goals: string[] }

UserTestStep { ...Step action intent success checkpoint?: boolean }

Scripts

HumanScript:template { """

Test: ${journey.name}

Persona: ${persona.name} — ${persona.role}

Pre-test

  • Start screen recording
  • Clear state (cookies, cache, cart)
  • Prepare credentials if needed

Instructions

Read each step out loud before attempting it. Think aloud as you work - this helps reviewers follow along.

Steps

For each step:

  • Goal: ${step.intent}
  • Do: ${step.action}
  • Think aloud: What do you see? Any friction?
  • Success: ${step.success}

Post-test

  • Stop recording
  • What was confusing?
  • What worked well?
  • Would you complete this in real life? """ }

AgentScript:template { """

Agent Test: ${journey.name}

Environment: Drive real browser, discover UI by looking (no source code access)

Persona behavior:

  • Patience: ${persona.patience}/10
  • Retry: ${persona.techLevel == "expert" ? "immediate" : "exponential backoff"}
  • On failure: ${persona.patience > 5 ? "retry" : "abort"}

Execution

For each step, narrate your thoughts like a human tester:

  1. Interact with real UI: ${step.action}
  2. Express confusion, expectations, what you see
  3. Validate rendered result: ${step.success}
  4. Screenshot browser viewport if checkpoint or failure
  5. Record: difficulty (easy/moderate/difficult), duration, what was unclear
  6. Retry with backoff if failed and patient

Output Format

# Test Report: ${journey.name}

**Completed**: X of Y steps

## Step: [step name]
- **Status**: ✓ Success / ✗ Failed
- **Duration**: Xs
- **Difficulty**: easy/moderate/difficult
- **Thoughts**: [What I saw, expected, any confusion]
- **Screenshot**: [path if captured]

## Blockers
- [Any steps that couldn't be completed and why]

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
