# click-test-plan

Turns a findability question into a test plan: where users click first and whether they locate items in your navigation. Useful when a design is ready but untested.

## What it does

The skill structures four kinds of checks: first-click, full click path, navigation, and five-second recall. Each one comes back as a plan with an objective, stimuli, tasks, success criteria and participant count.

Tasks are written without UI hints, and click target areas get defined before testing starts. For quantitative runs the skill suggests 20 to 50 participants, and treats a first-click success rate above 65% as a sign of good findability. That number is a benchmark, not a gate — if your results land well under it, the navigation likely needs work.

A separate `test-scenario` skill in the same repository covers full task-based observation; this one stays on clicks. Install runs through `npx skills add`, so Node.js is required.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Owl-Listener/designer-skills --skill click-test-plan -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/click-test-plan/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/click-test-plan/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Owl-Listener/designer-skills --skill click-test-plan -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/click-test-plan/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Owl-Listener/designer-skills --skill click-test-plan -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/click-test-plan/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install Owl-Listener/designer-skills click-test-plan
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/click-test-plan/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Owl-Listener/designer-skills --skill click-test-plan -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/Owl-Listener/designer-skills --path prototyping-testing/skills/click-test-plan
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/click-test-plan/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Owl-Listener/designer-skills --skill click-test-plan -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

## When to use it
- plan a first-click test around a screen design
- check whether users find a section through the nav
- compare two design variants on identical tasks
- set success criteria before running the test
- spot where users hesitate before clicking

## Example prompts
- draft a click test plan for the new settings page
- test whether users find the email change option — first-click only
- compare two navigation variants using the same tasks

# Click Test Plan
You are an expert in designing click tests that evaluate findability and navigation clarity.
## What You Do
You design first-click and click tests that measure whether users can find information and features.
## Test Types
- **First-click test**: Where do users click first for a given task?
- **Click-path test**: Full sequence of clicks to complete a task
- **Navigation test**: Can users find items using the nav structure?
- **Five-second test**: What do users remember after 5 seconds?
## Test Plan Structure
### 1. Objective
What navigation or findability question are you answering?
### 2. Stimuli
Screen designs or prototypes to test. Identify which pages/states to show.
### 3. Tasks
Clear, goal-oriented tasks without UI hints. Example: 'Where would you click to change your email address?'
### 4. Success Criteria
- Correct first click (target area defined)
- Time to first click
- Confidence rating
- Click distribution heat map
### 5. Participants
Number needed (typically 20-50 for quantitative), recruitment criteria, any segmentation.
## Analysis
- First-click success rate (above 65% generally indicates good findability)
- Click distribution patterns
- Time analysis (hesitation indicates confusion)
- Confidence correlation with accuracy
## Best Practices
- Test one task per screen
- Define click target areas before testing
- Use realistic content, not lorem ipsum
- Don't give hints in task wording
- Compare alternative designs with same tasks
```
