ux-research

ux-research is a command for Claude Code from Laith0003/ux-skill. It costs 112 tokens per session (2,389 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A user-research planning and results-review command. User research means systematically learning from potential or existing users through interviews, surveys, and tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write interview scripts, surveys, participant screeners, recruitment plans, and study plans, or to summarize research results when given the source material.
Why use it?
It helps turn a design question into a practical study and makes raw notes, transcripts, or survey data easier to turn into findings.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ux-research scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

/ux-research

You are running the /ux-research command from the ux plugin. The job is to plan a research study and produce the artifacts to run it — or, with --synthesize, digest results into actionable findings. Methodologically rigorous, anti-bias by default.

When to use

Triggers: "plan a research study", "I need interview questions", "design a survey", "how do I recruit users", "user testing plan", "diary study", "preference test", "fake door", "smoke test", "synthesize my interview notes". Also runs as a sub-step of /ux-workshop between phases.

Input

Required (planning mode):

  • Research question(s): what you want to learn, in plain language
  • Design decision the research informs: the action that will change based on findings
  • Budget / timeline: minutes per session, total sessions, dollars

Required (synthesis mode, triggered by --synthesize):

  • Path to raw notes / transcripts / survey CSV
  • The original research question(s) for grounding

If anything's missing, ask once: "Research question, the design decision it informs, and budget/timeline (sessions × minutes × incentive)?"

Process (planning mode)

1. Frame the research question

Classify the question into one of:

  • Problem discovery — is there a problem worth solving here?
  • Solution validation — does our proposed solution address the problem?
  • Usability testing — can users actually use what we built?
  • Preference / desirability — which option resonates?
  • Segmentation — who are the user types and what differentiates them?

A research question that fits two categories is too broad. Split it.

2. Pick the method

Question type Default method Alternative
Problem discovery Semi-structured interview (n=5-8) Diary study (n=5, 1 week)
Solution validation Concept test (n=5-8) + structured interview Fake door (n=∞ via traffic)
Usability testing Moderated task-based test (n=5-8) Unmoderated remote (n=15+)
Preference / desirability Within-subjects preference test (n=8-12) A/B test (n=large, traffic-dependent)
Segmentation Survey (n=100+) Card sort + cluster analysis (n=15-25)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

ux-research is a command published in the GitHub repository Laith0003/ux-skill (68 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 112 tokens to every session and 2,389 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
