Core JTBD theory and job story format - job dimensions, job story template, job stories vs user stories, 8-step universal job map, outcome statements, and forces of progress.
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 Core Theory Jobs-to-be-Done reframes product development around the progress customers seek rather than products they buy. Customers "hire" products to accomplish specific jobs. The job exists independently of any solution. ## The Three Job Dimensions Every job has three dimensions. Capture all three during discovery -- functional jobs surface first, but emotional and social jobs drive switching decisions. **Functional**: Practical task to accomplish. Measurable, concrete, articulated first. - "Deploy a new feature to production without downtime" - "Identify the root cause of a performance regression" **Emotional**: How the customer wants to feel (or avoid feeling). Internal, personal, often unarticulated. - "Feel confident that my changes will not break production" - "Feel in control of the project timeline despite changing requirements" **Social**: How the customer wants to be perceived. Identity, status, professional reputation. - "Be seen as a technically competent lead who makes sound decisions" - "Demonstrate to stakeholders that the team delivers measurable value" ### Discovery Questions by Dimension | Dimension | Questions | |-----------|-----------| …

How to install
mdr add nwave-ai/nwave/nw-jtbd-core@sha256:2ba49cb0a45d1df5The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260609.c723548, 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.
