Write usability test tasks. Product and key flows: [PRODUCT_AND_FLOWS]. User goals: [USER_GOALS]. Interface vocabulary I must avoid giving away: [UI_LABELS].

Create 6 to 8 task scenarios. Each: a realistic context in 2 to 3 sentences, the goal, no interface terms, and a success criterion. Example: Bad "Click Settings and change your password." Good "You think someone else may know your password. Make sure only you can sign in." Provide data the participant needs (a fictional account, sample details) and how to reset state between sessions.

Return a table: Task | Scenario text | What a participant might try first | Success criterion | Time limit | Metrics | Risk that the task is leading. Add guidance on order (start easy, balance risk), counterbalancing for comparisons, and follow-up questions after each task ("How confident are you that you completed that? Why?"). Check that tasks do not reveal navigation labels. Use only my product details.

Optional: type your details and the prompt above updates. Nothing is saved or sent.
