What it does
User Research Techniques is an agent skill from slgoodrich/agents. User research methods including interviews, usability testing, surveys, and analytics. Use when planning user research, choosing a research method, gathering user insights, or validating assumptions with data. Trigger on: 'plan user research', 'which research method should I use', 'how do I talk to users', 'conduct user research', 'how many participants do I need'.
Its SKILL.md is about 2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including reference files and assets (for example `assets/research-plan-template.md`, `references/qualitative-methods-guide.md` and `references/quantitative-methods-guide.md`).
It sits in Product & Project Management, covering User research. The repository describes itself as: AI PM Workflows for Claude Code.
When your agent uses it
- Planning user research
- Choosing a research method
- Gathering user insights
- Validating assumptions with data
Example prompts
- “plan user research”
- “which research method should I use”
- “how do I talk to users”
- “/user-research-techniques”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Avoid Bias
- Sample Sizes
- Triangulate
- Continuous Discovery (Teresa Torres)
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3b5835b. 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 Techniques loads about 2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 98 tokens; SKILL.md has 788 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 788 words (~1,972 tokens).
“Guide to qualitative and quantitative research methods for understanding users, validating ideas, and informing product decisions.”
