ai-journey-mapper

ai-journey-mapper is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from varunk130/ai-ux-skill-library. It costs 59 tokens per session (2,437 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A framework for mapping how people interact with AI products from first use to confident use. It includes changes in trust, understanding, assistance needs, and the balance between human and AI control.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to map capability discovery, trust changes, help and anxiety points, surprising successes, and the progression from human-led to AI-assisted work.
Why use it?
It reveals where users misunderstand the AI, lose confidence, need help, or are ready for more automation.

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

ai-journey-mapper 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.

AI Journey Mapper

Map the unique journeys users take when interacting with AI products - from first encounter through mastery. Unlike traditional journey mapping, AI journeys include trust arcs, capability discovery curves, mental model evolution, and the shifting balance of human-AI control. The PATHWAY framework captures what traditional journey maps miss.

Core Principle

Traditional journey maps track what users DO. AI journey maps must also track what users BELIEVE - because the gap between what users believe the AI can do and what it actually can do is where every AI UX problem lives.


The PATHWAY Framework

Letter Dimension What to Map
P Perception Evolution How the user's mental model of the AI changes over time
A Autonomy Gradient How the balance of human vs. AI control shifts across the journey
T Trust Arc How trust rises, falls, and recovers through the experience
H Help Moments Where the user needs assistance understanding the AI (not just the product)
W Wow Moments Where the AI exceeds expectations and creates advocacy
A Anxiety Points Where the user feels uncertain, vulnerable, or out of control
Y Yield Decisions Where the user must decide: trust the AI, override it, or disengage

AI Journey Map Structure

An AI journey map extends the traditional CJM with AI-specific rows:

Standard Rows (from traditional journey mapping)

Row Content
Phases 4-6 stages of the AI adoption journey
Actions What the user does at each phase
Touchpoints Where interactions occur
Pain Points Friction and frustration sources
Opportunities Design improvement possibilities

AI-Specific Rows (unique to this skill)

Row Content Why It Matters
Mental Model What the user believes the AI can do at this phase Misaligned mental models cause 80% of AI UX failures
Trust Level High / Medium / Low / Broken - with the event that caused the change Trust is the #1 predictor of AI adoption and retention
Autonomy Balance Who is in control: User-led → Collaborative → AI-led The shift from "I use the AI" to "the AI works for me" is the key transition
Capability Awareness Percentage of AI capabilities the user has discovered Most users discover < 30% of capabilities in the first month
Verification Behavior How much the user checks AI outputs Decreasing verification = growing trust (or dangerous complacency)
Error Exposure What AI failures the user has encountered Each error type reshapes the mental model differently

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.
