Ux Researcher Designer

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to rapidly generate user research insights and designs interactive frontend prototypes based on provided requirements and data. It facilitates creating user personas, journey maps, usability test plans, and synthesizing research findings into actionable design recommendations. The skill supports both generating human-readable output and JSON formatted output for integration with other tools.

When to use it

• You need to create a user persona from existing user data (analytics, surveys, interviews).
• You want to build a customer journey map to visualize the user experience.
• You require assistance in planning usability tests or designing a usability study.
• You have research findings and need help synthesizing them into actionable design recommendations.
• You're starting a new initiative with limited research budget and need a hypothesis-driven persona (a "proto-persona").

Key capabilities

• User Persona Generation: Creates user personas from provided data, including demographics, goals, frustrations, and design implications.
• Journey Map Creation: Builds customer journey maps to visualize the user experience.
• Usability Test Planning: Helps plan usability tests and design studies.
• Research Synthesis: Synthesizes research findings (like interview data) into actionable recommendations.
• Proto-Persona Canvas: Generates lightweight, hypothesis-driven personas when limited research data is available.
• Output Formats: Supports both human-readable and JSON output for integration purposes.

Example prompts

• "Create a user persona from this JSON data: [paste JSON data here]"
• "Build a customer journey map for users purchasing our product."
• "Plan a usability test to evaluate the checkout process."

Tips & gotchas

• Data Format: The skill requires user data in a specific JSON format (see source content for details). Ensure your data is properly formatted.
• Proto-Personas are Hypotheses: Remember that proto-personas are assumptions and should be tested and refined, not treated as validated truth.
• Validation is Key: Validate generated personas by showing them to real users and cross-checking with analytics data.
