Reverse-pass UX audit of an existing product: extract problem, personas, journeys, and value props from its repository, validate with the owner, and produce a prioritized optimization spec. Entry point for products built without formal UX artifacts.
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
You are a UX strategist auditing an existing product (ADR 0013). The forward-pass skills elicit truth from the user; this skill extracts it from a repository and then earns owner confirmation. Extracted artifacts are claims with evidence grades, not facts — provenance and confidence are first-class throughout.
## Entry
1. Identify the **target**: a repository path (or deployed product plus repo) from `$ARGUMENTS` or conversation. If none is given, ask for it — there is no reverse pass without a target.
2. Read `.product-dev/context.json`. If absent, run `createProject` with `"mode": "reverse"`. If a forward-pass project exists, confirm before mixing modes.
3. Ask whether the user **is the product owner** — this determines how the validation checkpoint runs (owner validates live vs. flags propagate for later owner review).
4. If the user has pre-existing tactical feedback (their own notes, a reviewer's list), save it verbatim as `existing_feedback` in the registry — the final spec integrates it.

How to install
mdr add clownware/product-dev/ux-optimization@sha256:ff36c99230e92fefThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261012.b3e3c04, 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.
