Run developer customer discovery via a Technical Advisory Board (TAB). Use when the user has never interviewed a user who isn't a friend, is inventing messaging from a conference room, or is guessing at the roadmap instead of hearing the pain firsthand.
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
# Talk to users (the TAB system) > The best marketing to developers comes from talking to developers. That's it. Everything else in this repo is downstream of this skill. **Use this when:** you've never done a real user interview, your messaging is clever but unverified, or you keep debating the roadmap internally instead of asking the people who feel the pain. ## The core idea Stand up a **Technical Advisory Board**: 30-50 people who *represent your users and buyers*, not grey-haired advisors telling you how to build. You interview them, on repeat, and let their words become your positioning, roadmap, and homepage copy. A TAB call is **not a demo and not a sales call.** It's an interview. You never mention the product. ## Framework: the TAB system (Frankl) **Composition** - One+ representative of *every persona that touches the product* (see `who-is-this-for`) - Both **users** (interact) and **customers** (pay), often different people - Target 30-50 members **Cadence** - 30 minutes · one-on-one · monthly · for ~6 months - Zoom, recorded with permission, never in person - Same questions every time · never pitch **Recruitment (it's a numbers game)** …

How to install
mdr add aidevgtm/gtm-cofounder/talk-to-users@sha256:56c4458fbfd3d3fbThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.670025b, 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.
