Game Loopers Product & UX Verification Skill

Skill Name

user-journey-verification

Purpose

Comprehensively test and verify all persona journeys across Game Loopers personas, leveraging the project-product-manager and ux-flow-designer agents to identify friction points, ensure consistency, and generate actionable improvement recommendations.

This skill produces a detailed REPORT.md in the root directory documenting findings, prioritized recommendations, and implementation roadmap.

Scope

Personas Covered (MVP Phase)

This skill tests user journeys for all current personas defined in PERSONAS.md:

Game Designer - Creates products by combining assets, manages royalties
3D Modeler - Publishes embeddable STL products, earns royalties
Illustrator/Artist - Licenses artwork via embeddable products
Consumer/Buyer - Purchases complete game packages, discovers through jams

Future Personas (Deferred)

Documented but not tested until Phase 3:

Printer (3D printing service provider)
Painter (miniature painting service provider)

Verification Framework

1. User Journey Testing

For each persona, the skill will:

A. Map Complete User Flows

Account creation and onboarding
Primary goal achievement (create/publish/purchase)
Secondary interactions (collaboration, discovery, community)
Edge cases and error states

B. Identify Friction Points Using the ux-flow-designer agent to analyze:

Cognitive load at each step
Decision fatigue and confusion points
Missing feedback or unclear states
Excessive clicks or form fields
Mobile responsiveness issues

C. Verify Business Rules Using the project-product-manager agent to ensure:

Product status system (draft, private, public, archived)
Embeddability rules (is_embeddable flag, royalty configuration)
Publishing validation (products need files OR components)
Revenue distribution (10% platform fee, owner share, royalties)
RLS security policies

D. Check Consistency Cross-persona consistency verification:

UI patterns (BEM CSS, design tokens)
Form validation messaging
Error handling and recovery
Success state feedback
Navigation patterns

2. UX Best Practices Audit

The skill applies industry-standard UX principles:

Progressive Disclosure

Are complex features revealed gradually?
Do first-time users see appropriate guidance?
Are power users able to access advanced features?

Error Prevention & Recovery

Are destructive actions confirmed?
Do forms validate in real-time?
Are error messages actionable with recovery paths?
Can users undo or go back?

Feedback & Affordance

Do buttons clearly indicate their purpose?
Is loading state visible for async operations?
Are success/failure states communicated clearly?
Does the UI respond immediately to interactions?

Accessibility (WCAG 2.1 Level AA)

Keyboard navigation support
Focus indicators visible and clear
Screen reader compatibility (ARIA labels)
Color contrast ratios
Touch target sizes (mobile)

Conversion Optimization

Is the primary CTA obvious on each page?
Are form fields minimized to essentials?
Is trust established (transparent pricing, clear policies)?
Are abandonment points minimized?

3. Agent Orchestration

The skill coordinates multiple specialized agents:

Phase 1: Strategic Analysis (project-product-manager)

Review current implementation against product goals
Identify scope creep or missing requirements
Validate business rule enforcement
Check code quality (no unused vars/imports/any types)
Assess technical debt and scalability

Deliverable: Strategic assessment document

Phase 2: Flow Design Review (ux-flow-designer)

Analyze all critical user flows per persona
Map entry points, decision points, exit states
Identify friction and suggest improvements
Recommend component patterns (aligned with BEM)
Provide accessibility recommendations

Deliverable: Flow analysis with diagrams and recommendations

Phase 3: Synthesis & Reporting

Combine findings into prioritized report:

P0 Critical Issues (blocking launch/sales)
P1 High Impact (significant UX friction or inconsistency)
P2 Medium Impact (nice-to-have improvements)
P3 Future Enhancements (deferred to post-MVP)

Execution Process

When invoked, this skill will:

Step 1: Context Gathering

1. Read PERSONAS.md for all persona definitions
2. Read .claude/skills/CSS/DESIGN_SYSTEM.md for UI standards
3. Read CLAUDE.md for architecture rules
