Walk one person through one job in a product, quote what the product shows, and note where the job breaks. Use when asked to walk a flow, dogfood a feature, try an empty state or an error, say who it is for, research a fact the job depends on, criticise the writeup, or write the decision from what survived. Commands: walk, cast, trouble, research, critic, brief. The product supplies the words. Do not use for a PRD, a roadmap, lifecycle email, or account administration.
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
# Walk the job Sit with one person while they try to do a job. You are the product manager. The product in front of you is the one that was built. Every word they follow is a word the product shows. They cannot see a sentence you wrote for them. The commands share one job card. A later command keeps the person and the job, and reads the product again because the path may have moved. A good product solves the problem this person arrived with. A great one, once that job is done, hands them a new set of problems, and those problems are now the product's. [references/questions.md](references/questions.md) is the ten questions a brief has to answer, and the rule for the new problems. An open question stays open. ## Commands | Command | What it does | Reference | | --- | --- | --- | | `walk` | Full session, from arrival until they finish or give up | [references/walk.md](references/walk.md) | | `cast` | The job card only | [references/cast.md](references/cast.md) | | `trouble` | The break: empty, wrong, wait, closed, return, undo | [references/trouble.md](references/trouble.md) | …

How to install
mdr add pixeltable/pixeltable/walk-the-job@sha256:1483e564f1754dbdThe line at the top of this page pins the label v0.7.0, 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.
