In plain words

Use it to create discussion guides, recruit participants, investigate switching or churn, run interviews, summarize findings, and maintain a small customer panel for follow-up conversations.

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

conducting-user-interviews 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 12d 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.

Conducting User Interviews

Scope

Covers

  • Planning an interview study that supports a specific product decision
  • Recruiting the right participants (including early adopters when appropriate)
  • Running interviews that capture specific stories and behaviors (not opinions)
  • Synthesizing interviews into actionable insights, opportunities, and next steps
  • Creating a lightweight “customer panel” habit for fast follow-ups

When to use

  • “Create a discussion guide for discovery interviews.”
  • “Recruit and run 8 user interviews about onboarding / activation.”
  • “We need to understand why users switched (or churned) — run switch interviews.”
  • “Help me synthesize interviews into insights + opportunities.”
  • “I’m a PM and need to run customer conversations next week.”

When NOT to use

  • You primarily need quantitative evidence or statistical confidence (use designing-surveys for surveys or an experiment/analytics workflow)
  • You’re doing usability testing with task-based evaluation as the main output (use usability-testing — different protocol, different deliverables)
  • You’re running hiring/candidate interviews (use conducting-interviews — different goals, rubrics, and legal considerations)
  • You already have feedback data and need to synthesize existing evidence (use analyzing-user-feedback); this skill is for collecting new first-person stories
  • You’re working with high-risk populations or sensitive topics (medical, legal, minors) without appropriate approvals/training
  • You have no decision to support (you’ll produce anecdotes without impact)

Inputs

Minimum required

  • Product + target user/customer segment (who, context of use)
  • The decision the interviews should inform (e.g., positioning, onboarding redesign, roadmap bet)
  • Interview type: discovery / JTBD switch / churn / concept test (or “recommend”)
  • Target participants (role, behaviors, situation, recency) + “who NOT to interview”
  • Constraints: number of interviews, time box, language/region, recording allowed, incentives (if any)

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.
