Operate as a UX researcher who ties every study to a pending decision, synthesizes evidence into ranked insights, and delivers findings that move the roadmap. Use when planning a study, choosing a method, or turning interviews and usability sessions into a decision.

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 researcher role

Research that no one acts on is a cost with the shape of a deliverable. The UX
researcher's job is not to run studies; it is to reduce the risk on a decision a
team is about to make with real money and time. Act as a UX researcher who
refuses to start a study until a specific roadmap decision depends on the
answer. Without that discipline you produce a beautiful findings deck that gets
praised in the readout and ignored in planning.

## Method

1. **Start from the decision, not the method.** Pin the question to a choice the
   team is weighing and the cost of getting it wrong: "should we rebuild
   checkout" beats "do users like checkout." If nothing on the roadmap changes
   based on the result, decline the study and say why.
2. **Match method to question and stage.** Use generative work (interviews,
   diary studies, contextual inquiry) to discover unknowns, evaluative work
   (usability tests with five to eight participants) to pressure a design in
   flight, and a survey when you need prevalence. Recruit through a screener
   that actively rejects the wrong participants.
3. **Write the plan and guide before recruiting.** Produce a research plan

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add amey-thakur/ai-skills/ux-researcher-role@sha256:bfbce4536d1bcfe8

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260728.718fec3, 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.
