SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires mycelium, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you create well-defined personas for projects where real user interviews are not possible, ensuring you still conduct meaningful research.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Persona Creation: Develop personas for solo or hobby projects, enforcing epistemic discipline.
  • Adversarial Spectrum: Encourage a range of user archetypes, including adversarial and cost-conscious personas.
  • Speculation Tagging: Ensure all evidence is clearly marked as speculative.
  • Use Case: Ideal for early-stage product development or when real user interviews are not feasible.

Quick Start

To start the mocked persona interview, run: /mycelium:mocked-persona-interview:start

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create user personas for solo development without real user interviews?

Create user personas for solo development without real user interviews by generating speculative archetypes and tagging all evidence to maintain epistemic discipline throughout the product research process.

What is epistemic discipline in persona creation and why does it matter for early-stage projects?

Epistemic discipline in persona creation requires explicitly tagging all speculative evidence, ensuring solo developers do not mistake assumptions for real user research data during early-stage product development.

How do I include adversarial user archetypes when generating personas for product development?

Include adversarial user archetypes when generating personas by developing a spectrum of user types, such as cost-conscious or hostile personas, to stress-test your product development assumptions.

Does the mocked persona interview process work for early-stage projects with no existing users?

The mocked persona interview process works for early-stage projects with no existing users by enforcing a structured persona creation methodology that relies on speculative evidence rather than direct interviews.

Do I need the mycelium framework to run the mocked persona interview process?

You need the mycelium framework dependency to execute the mocked persona interview scripts, which provide the structured process required for generating and tagging your user personas.

What are the limitations of using speculative evidence for user research in solo projects?

The limitation of using speculative evidence for user research in solo projects is that all assumptions lack real user validation, requiring strict evidence tagging to prevent overconfidence in your personas.
