Create a structured UX research plan for any product question or feature. Use when asked to write a research plan, design a user study, create a discussion guide, write screener questions, or plan usability testing. Produces a full research plan with objectives, methodology, screener, discussion guide, and synthesis framework.
📚 Based on Nielsen Norman Group UX research methods
🗣 Say this to your agent
“Write a research plan for [feature or product area]”“Create a discussion guide for user interviews about [topic]”“Plan a usability test for [prototype or feature]”“Write screener questions for [target user type]”
What to give it
▸Research question — what decision will this research inform?
▸Product area or feature — being researched
▸Research type — Generative / Evaluative / Usability testing / Diary study / Survey
▸Stage — Discovery / Concept validation / Prototype testing / Live product
▸Target participants — role, demographics, behaviour — who should we talk to?
▸Timeline and number of sessions
▸Existing assumptions or hypotheses (optional) — optional but valuable
✅ The bar it holds itself to
Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.
✓Research objectives map to real decisions
✓Discussion guide opens broad before going specific
✓Screener criteria are specific enough to get the right participants
✓Tasks (if usability) are written from the user's perspective
✓Synthesis framework is included
✓Incentive recommendation is included
⚠️ What it refuses to do
Do not write a research plan without clearly stated research objectives — every methodology choice must flow from the objectives
Do not design a plan that mixes generative and evaluative research without clearly separating them
Do not omit screener criteria — recruiting unqualified participants invalidates the research
Do not write discussion guide questions that are leading — questions must be neutral and open-ended
Do not skip the incentive recommendation — uncompensated research has lower participant quality and completion rates
