# Check the Descriptor

Part of usability-tester. Once the Descriptor is read, before any offering is run.

## When to use this

Once the Descriptor is read, before any offering is run.

## What a good result looks like

Each of the five checks (summary, example, inputs-to-controls, options-settings, presentation) answered pass or fail with its evidence, and each finding labelled descriptor, with design as the stage that fixes it.

## When it comes back empty

An agent with no offering has nothing to check beyond its summary, and the report says so.

## How to do it

`descriptorChecks` in scripts/descriptor-checks.mjs. Read references/what-a-person-meets.md.
