journey-author SKILL.md skillA

journey-author from uze-sh/uze is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add uze-sh/uze/journey-author@git:20261017.1d0b3a6

Pins git:20261017.1d0b3a6 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Writing, changing or debugging a product journey (journeys/) — use whenever you are adding a scenario for a user-facing flow, a journey fails or flakes, a selector stopped matching after a TUI change, you need to decide whether something is a new scene or a new file, or you are about to assert on UZE's own output instead of on the machine. Covers the chapter spine, the scene/file split rule, the gesture and check vocabularies, the probe loop, reading evidence/verdict.json, and the four world…

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

# Writing a product journey

A journey performs a user's flow — through the real CLI, the real TUI, or
both — in a disposable world, then checks **the machine it left behind**.
`tests/` proves the domain deterministically against fake harnesses;
`conformance/` proves what a vendor harness does; a journey proves what UZE
does, including the parts of `src/ui/` no Rust test can click.

Read `journeys/README.md` for the full vocabulary. This is what to do, in
what order, and what goes wrong.

## The two rules everything else serves

**Never validate UZE with UZE.** Every `then` check reads the filesystem,
Git, the recorded task state, or the process table. UZE's own report is the
*subject* — a `cmd` step whose output you assert *against* those checks —
never the source of truth for another check. This is the whole reason the
tier exists: it is the only place that catches "exited zero, reported the
artifact, wrote nothing".

**Screen text is a gate, never an assertion.** `expect` proves a gesture
landed, so the next one acts on the state you think it does. If you find
yourself asserting on what the screen says, the claim belongs in
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add uze-sh/uze/journey-author@sha256:1305ad2227284006

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261017.1d0b3a6, 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.
