JTBD methodology for extracting real jobs behind feature requests — job statements, abstraction layers, first-principles extraction, ODI outcome statements, and opportunity scoring.
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
# JTBD Analysis ## Core Principle A job is the progress a person is trying to make in a particular circumstance. Jobs are stable over time — technology changes, jobs don't. People hire products to make progress; they fire them when they fail. **The trap**: Feature requests describe a proposed solution, not the underlying job. Always extract the job first. --- ## Job Statement Format ``` When [situation/trigger], I want to [motivation/action], so I can [expected outcome] ``` **Examples (good)**: - "When I'm hosting a virtual networking event, I want to facilitate natural conversations between strangers, so I can create valuable connections that wouldn't happen otherwise." - "When I join an event as a participant, I want to quickly find relevant people to talk to, so I can maximize the value of my limited time." --- ## Job Types — Extract All Three | Type | Question | Example | |------|----------|---------| | Functional | What task is the user trying to accomplish? | Find someone with complementary expertise | | Emotional | How does the user want to feel? | Feel confident approaching strangers | …

How to install
mdr add nwave-ai/nwave/nw-jtbd-analysis@sha256:9b9c8c12299783e5The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260406.b65a761, 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.
