Registry indexed
Apply when product, UX, or feature-scope tradeoffs come up. Choose user delight over implementation convenience; ship fewer polished features over more rough ones.
When implementation convenience conflicts with user delight, choose delight.
The user is whoever consumes the work. For a UI that is the end user. For a library or an internal API it is the colleague who imports it. The engineer who maintains the code next is a user too. Weigh their experience the same way, and explain impact from their perspective.
Foundations should serve the experience. Foundational thinking governs the sequence of work; this principle governs the target.

Install targets
Codex install prompt
Install the "principle-experience-first" agent skill from https://github.com/michael-denyer/pstack-claude/tree/main/plugins/pstack/skills/principle-experience-first. Read its SKILL.md or equivalent instructions first, install only the files needed for this workspace, and summarize any required setup before using it. Skill purpose: Apply when product, UX, or feature-scope tradeoffs come up. Choose user delight over implementation convenience; ship fewer polished features over more rough ones. After the install attempt, report the result to https://www.openagentskill.com/api/agent/outcome with POST JSON {"event_id":"install_<unique-id>","skill_slug":"michael-denyer-principle-experience-first","task":"Install principle-experience-first","agent":"codex","outcome":"success","install_used":true}. Replace event_id with a unique value and outcome with success or failed. Report success only after the skill is installed and a minimal verification passes. Recorded instruction path: plugins/pstack/skills/principle-experience-first/SKILL.md. Recorded revision: 0986f344496c9c8468003465261711f6bb2c5ec1. Confirm the source matches these instructions.
