Plan, conduct, and analyze UX research using proven methodologies. Use when planning user research, writing interview scripts, creating test plans, recruiting participants, analyzing qualitative data, or synthesizing findings into actionable insights. Covers generative, evaluative, and continuous discovery research with specific frameworks, scoring rubrics, and templates.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# UX Research

Plan, conduct, and analyze user research that produces actionable insights for product design. This skill provides frameworks, methods, and practical guidance for every stage of the research process — from defining the right question to presenting findings that drive decisions.

## When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:
- Planning a research study (choosing methods, defining scope, writing a plan)
- Writing interview scripts or discussion guides
- Creating usability test plans with tasks and success metrics
- Recruiting participants and writing screener surveys
- Analyzing qualitative data (affinity diagrams, thematic analysis)
- Synthesizing research into personas, journey maps, or opportunity maps
- Setting up continuous discovery practices (weekly interviews, OSTs)
- Presenting findings and recommendations to stakeholders

## Core Principle

Research is a tool for reducing risk, not a deliverable. The goal is always to inform decisions — not to produce documents. Research is not asking people what they like, not a political tool, and not science. It's applied inquiry that helps you solve the right problem.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add cuellarfr/design-skills/ux-research@sha256:9cb6593e3ef597fa

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260823.b41750a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
