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-plan 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 8d 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 Plan Skill

This skill creates a complete, ready-to-execute UX research plan. Output covers everything from research objectives to screener questions, discussion guide, and synthesis framework.

Required Inputs

Ask the user for these if not provided:

  • Research question (what decision will this research inform?)
  • Product area or feature being researched
  • Research type (Generative / Evaluative / Usability testing / Diary study / Survey)
  • Stage (Discovery / Concept validation / Prototype testing / Live product)
  • Target participants (role, demographics, behaviour — who should we talk to?)
  • Timeline and number of sessions
  • Existing assumptions or hypotheses (optional but valuable)

Output Structure


UX Research Plan: [Study Title]

Product area: [Area] Research type: [Type] Date: [Timeline] Researcher: [Leave for user]


1. Research Objectives

State 2–4 clear research objectives. Each objective should map to a decision that will be made differently depending on what you find.

Objective [N]: Understand [specific thing] so we can [decision this informs].


2. Research Questions

[5–8 questions — the actual questions you want research to answer. These are not the interview questions; they're the knowledge gaps. Organised under each objective.]

Objective 1:

  • RQ1.1: [Research question]
  • RQ1.2: [Research question]

3. Methodology & Rationale

Method chosen: [e.g. Semi-structured interviews / Usability testing / Concept testing]

Why this method: [2–3 sentences. Match method to research type. If evaluative: usability testing. If generative: contextual inquiry or interviews. If testing comprehension: 5-second test or concept test.]

What this method will and won't tell us:

  • Will tell us: [What this method is good at revealing]
  • Won't tell us: [What's out of scope — be honest about limits]

Sample size: [Recommended number of sessions and why — e.g. "5–6 moderated interviews for generative research; 5–8 usability sessions to identify top issues"]

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.
