UX pass for one feature of a macOS app, covering names, flow, where it opens (inline, popover, sheet, window, alert), states, words, hover help, accessibility, and AI features. Use before coding a story that adds a screen, an action, or text, when user-stories or improve-loop call it, or when the user asks for a UX review, clearer wording, better names, or whether something should be a modal.

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

# UX design

A feature that works can still confuse people. This pass decides what
things are called, how a person moves through the feature, where it opens,
and what it says, before any code exists.

Run it once per story that adds a screen, an action, or words. The output
is a `UX:` block in the story in `docs/STORIES.md`, plus new terms in
`docs/GLOSSARY.md`. To review a built screen, run the same steps against
its snapshot and list what fails, most serious first.

## 0. Read

Read `docs/BRIEF.md`, `docs/GLOSSARY.md` (create it if missing), the story,
and its reference screenshots.

## 1. Name it

Every thing in the app has exactly one name, and every name lives in the
glossary.

```markdown
| Term | Means | Not |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Task | One thing to do, with an optional due date | to-do, item, entry |
| Complete | Mark a task done; it leaves the list | check, finish, close |
```

- Name the things first (the nouns in the brief), then the actions on them.
- Use the user's words, not the code's: "Task", not "TaskEntity" or "record".
- Use Apple's words for system actions: Settings, Quit, Close, Undo, Move
  to Trash (when it can come back), Delete (when it cannot).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add tomcounsell/ai/ux-design@sha256:01c31aec1b244c05

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.b1054fc, 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.
