In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to identify user groups, create personas, map the customer journey, and inform decisions about product roadmaps, positioning, pricing, or onboarding.
Why use it?

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

research-users 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 2mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 122 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/research-users -- User Research Synthesis

Turn raw research data into actionable user personas, behavioral segments, and customer journey maps. Accepts survey data, interview notes, feedback, analytics, or a product description for exploratory research.

Invocation

/research-users [upload survey results, interview notes, or feedback data]
/research-users B2B project management tool for agencies — help me understand our users
/research-users [paste user feedback or support ticket data]

Workflow

Step 1: Accept Research Inputs

Accept from any combination:

  • Survey responses (CSV, spreadsheet, pasted)
  • Interview notes or transcripts
  • Support tickets or feature requests
  • Product analytics / behavioral data
  • NPS or satisfaction data
  • Product description (for exploratory research without data)

Ask:

  • What research do you have? What format?
  • What do you want to understand? (who are our users, how do they differ, where's the friction)
  • What decisions will this inform? (roadmap, positioning, pricing, onboarding)

Step 2: Build Personas

Apply the user-personas skill:

  • Identify 3-4 distinct personas from the data
  • For each persona: name, role, goals (JTBD), pains, gains, behavioral patterns
  • Include unexpected insights — things that surprised you in the data
  • Note persona prevalence (what % of your base each represents, if data allows)

Step 3: Segment Users

Apply the user-segmentation and market-segments skills:

  • Create behavioral segments (not just demographics)
  • For each segment: size, JTBD, product fit, willingness to pay, engagement level
  • Identify the highest-value segment and the highest-growth segment
  • Map segments to personas (how they overlap)

Step 4: Map the Customer Journey

Apply the customer-journey-map skill:

  • Map the end-to-end journey: Awareness → Consideration → Onboarding → Active Use → Expansion → Advocacy
  • For each stage: touchpoints, emotions, pain points, aha moments
  • Identify the biggest drop-off points
  • Highlight moments of delight worth amplifying

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.
