Maintain docs/ux/foundation.md (personas, Jobs to Be Done, customer journeys, user stories): apply when defining who the users are and why they use the product, during product discovery, or when scenarios need a WHY layer to trace to.

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-foundation — The WHY Layer

`docs/ux/foundation.md` holds the chain scenarios trace to: **Personas
(P-NN) → Jobs to Be Done (JTBD-NN) → Customer journeys (JRN-NN) → User
stories (ST-NNN)**. IDs sequential, never reused; dropped entries kept, not
deleted.

## Formats (ux-contract v4)

- **Persona `P-NN`:** 1–3 sentences, grounded in data/observation,
  recognizable by a real user.
- **JTBD `JTBD-NN`:** `When <situation>, I want to <motivation>, so I can
  <outcome>` + personas + type (functional|emotional|social) + forces
  (push/pull/anxiety/habit) + success metric (user outcome, never a
  feature).
- **Journey `JRN-NN`** (persona × job): stage table — `# | Stage | User
  action | Touchpoint | Emotion (1-5) | Pain | Opportunity`; end-to-end
  (before/during/after product); opportunity priority = Frequency ×
  Severity × Solvability.
- **Story `ST-NNN`:** `As <persona>, I want <capability>, so that
  <benefit>` + Traces (JTBD, JRN/stage) + Given/When/Then acceptance
  criteria + priority (must|should|could) + status
  (proposed|validated|delivered|dropped). Quality bar: INVEST.

## Workflows

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add ssheleg/super-ux/.cursor/rules/ux-foundation.mdc@sha256:449855bc39963018

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260909.1c2e4ab, 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.
