What it does

User Research Synthesis is an agent skill from nicepkg/auto-company. Synthesize qualitative and quantitative user research into structured insights and opportunity areas. Use when analyzing interview notes, survey responses, support tickets, or behavioral data to identify themes, build personas, or prioritize opportunities.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Product & Project Management, covering User research. The repository describes itself as: 🤖 A fully autonomous AI company that runs 24/7. 14 AI agents (Bezos, Munger, DHH...) brainstorm ideas, write code, deploy products & make money — no human in the loop. Powered…

When your agent uses it

  • Analyzing interview notes
  • Survey responses
  • Support tickets
  • Behavioral data to identify themes

Example prompts

  • “/user-research-synthesis”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Familiarization: Read through all the data. Get a feel for the overall landscape before coding anything.
  2. Initial coding: Go through the data systematically. Tag each observation, quote, or data point with descriptive codes. Be generous with…
  3. Theme development: Group related codes into candidate themes. A theme captures something important about the data in relation to the…
  4. Theme review: Check themes against the data. Does each theme have sufficient evidence? Are themes distinct from each other? Do they tell a…
  5. Theme refinement: Define and name each theme clearly. Write a 1-2 sentence description of what each theme captures.
  6. Report: Write up the themes as findings with supporting evidence.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1252920. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

User Research Synthesis loads about 2.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,387 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~70
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.8k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,387 words (~2,801 tokens).

“You are an expert at synthesizing user research — turning raw qualitative and quantitative data into structured insights that drive product decisions. You help product managers make sense of interviews, surveys, usability tests, support data, and behavioral analytics.”
