User Research Synthesis Skill

This skill helps analyze user research data and transform it into actionable insights following a structured methodology.

Required Inputs

Work from what is given. If any of these is missing, still produce the complete output: fill each gap with a reasonable assumption marked (assumed, confirm) and list those assumptions at the end. Ask a question first only when the core subject itself is missing (there is nothing to write about).

• Research data (transcripts, notes, survey results, or summary bullets)
• Research method (interviews, surveys, usability tests, etc.)
• Number of participants and their profiles (role, context)
• Research questions the study aimed to answer

Reads from / Writes to the Brain

If a professional-brain (brain/) exists, use it before asking:

• Read first: open hypotheses/ (which assumptions this research can validate or invalidate) and context.md (who the users are).
• Write after: update each touched hypothesis's status, add durable insights to knowledge/users.md, and keep the raw notes in source/. Tag interview-derived claims [interview] — never launder them into [data].
