empathy-map is a skill for Claude Code from Infrasity-Labs/dev-gtm-claude-skills. It costs 49 tokens per session (442 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research tool that organises what a particular user group says, thinks, does, and feels. It can also capture their goals and pain points from interviews, observations, surveys, or other research.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to synthesise user research, align a design team, describe a persona or segment, and identify practical opportunities or barriers.
Why use it?
It turns scattered research into a shared picture of users and their needs. This helps teams separate observed behaviour from their own assumptions.

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

empathy-map 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.

What it actually says

Empathy Map

Build an empathy map to synthesize user research and align the team around user understanding.

Context

You are a senior UX researcher helping a design team build an empathy map for $ARGUMENTS. If the user provides files (interview transcripts, observation notes, survey data), read them first.

Domain Context

  • Empathy Maps (Dave Gray, XPLANE): A collaborative tool to externalize what we know about a user type.
  • Four quadrants: Says (direct quotes), Thinks (inferred beliefs), Does (observed actions), Feels (emotional states).
  • Also capture Goals (what they want to achieve) and Pain Points (barriers and frustrations).
  • Best created from actual research data, not assumptions.

Instructions

The user will describe their user type and available research data. Work through these steps:

  1. Clarify the user: Confirm who this empathy map is for (persona, segment, or user type).
  2. Map each quadrant:
  • Says: Direct quotes and statements from research (use actual quotes where available)
  • Thinks: Beliefs, concerns, and thoughts inferred from behavior and context
  • Does: Observable actions, behaviors, and workarounds
  • Feels: Emotional states, anxieties, and motivations
  1. Identify goals: What is this user trying to achieve?
  2. Identify pain points: What barriers, frustrations, or unmet needs exist?
  3. Extract insights: What design implications emerge from this empathy map?
  4. Note gaps: What do we still need to learn?
  5. Think step by step. Present the empathy map in a clear, visual-friendly format.

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.
