That sounds similar to the Screenplay pattern [1]

This has the concept of actors, abilities, interactions, questions, and tasks. This allows good separation of concerns as well as much more user-focused tests.

Oh, wow! I had been trying to develop a pattern like this out a few years ago, ~2016 (at the time, called Action-Flow), but ended up shifting out of test as a primary focus before I could put polish on it and make it cohesive enough to publish something.

I hadn't realized there was prior art to look at or potentially clone by mistake. I wonder how old this pattern is.

Thanks for showing me!
