At a glance

Plan a user research questionnaire, or turn collected responses into evidence-linked input for a PRD, with the AI Product Development Toolkit's research prompts.

  • Tasks that involve User research
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Tasks that involve PRD writing

What it does

User Research is an agent skill from TechNomadCode/AI-Product-Development-Toolkit. Plan a user research questionnaire, or turn collected responses into evidence-linked input for a PRD, with the AI Product Development Toolkit's research prompts.

Its SKILL.md is about 270 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Product & Project Management, covering User research and PRD writing. The repository describes itself as: Plan, build and launch products with AI: guided planning prompts, an AI App Starter for Next.js, Supabase and Vercel, and agent configurations. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve User research
  • Tasks that involve PRD writing

Example prompts

  • “/user-research”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1d3e2ca. 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 loads about 266 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 109 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~44
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~266

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.

<!-- From the AI Product Development Toolkit (https://github.com/TechNomadCode/AI-Product-Development-Toolkit). Paste its skills install line again to update. -->

This skill has two prompts in its folder. Unless the owner's message makes it clear, ask which one they need:

  • Guided-User-Research-Questionnaire.md: design a questionnaire, before the research.
  • Post-Research-PRD-Input.md: turn collected responses into input for a PRD, after the research.

If a file is missing, tell the owner to install the skills again. Then run the prompt:

  • Read it in full and follow it exactly, as if the owner had pasted it.
  • Fill its placeholders from the owner: use what's in their message or the files they point to, and ask for the rest. Don't guess.
  • When the owner approves the draft, offer to save it as a Markdown file.
