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 and execute user research that produces decisions, not just decks. Stack-agnostic. Tool-agnostic.

This skill is for generative and discovery research. For testing existing designs, use `usability-testing`. For mapping the full customer experience, use `journey-mapping`.

---

## When to use

- Starting a new product or major feature without sufficient user understanding
- Diagnosing why something isn't working without clear data signals
- Generating new opportunity hypotheses
- Validating a strategic direction before significant investment
- Building empathy across a team that's drifted from users
- Translating "we should talk to users" intent into a real plan

## When NOT to use

- Testing a specific design or prototype (use `usability-testing`)
- Mapping the full journey of an existing experience (use `journey-mapping`)
- Quantitative measurement (use `analytics-strategy`)
- Conversion testing (use `cro-optimization`)

---

## Required inputs

- The research question(s) - what you need to answer
- Stakeholder buy-in (who needs the findings, what decisions hinge on them)
- Access to users (current customers, prospects, lapsed users, target segments)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add rampstackco/claude-skills/ux-research@sha256:cfe62ac93bcc7b94

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260810.e5bc675, 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.
