Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Usability Testing Plan and run tests that find usability problems before users hit them in production. Stack-agnostic. Tool-agnostic. This skill is for testing existing designs or prototypes. For broader discovery research, use `ux-research`. For conversion testing in production, use `cro-optimization`. --- ## When to use - Before launching a new flow or major redesign - After a redesign to verify it doesn't introduce new problems - When analytics show drop-off but you don't know why - When customer support tickets pattern around specific UI areas - Pre-launch user validation - Comparing two design directions ## When NOT to use - Discovery / generative research (use `ux-research`) - Live conversion optimization (use `cro-optimization`) - Mapping the broader experience (use `journey-mapping`) - Pure quantitative measurement (use `analytics-strategy`) --- ## Required inputs - The design or prototype to test (functional or near-functional) - Specific tasks users would do - The audience (who should be tested) - Testing infrastructure (moderated tool, unmoderated tool, in-person setup) --- ## The framework: 5 phases ### 1. Define what to test …

How to install
mdr add rampstackco/claude-skills/usability-testing@sha256:98350aa232686167The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260810.e5bc675, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
