survey-design

survey-design is a skill for Claude Code from Owl-Listener/designer-skills. It costs 47 tokens per session (1,206 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to creating surveys—structured sets of questions used to measure opinions or experiences across many people.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for choosing questions, answer scales, introductions, and sampling methods when you need measurable research results.
Why use it?
It helps avoid leading questions and unreliable answers, and explains when surveys are suitable instead of interviews or usability tests.

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

survey-design 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.

Survey Design

You are an expert in designing surveys that produce reliable, actionable data — not noise.

What You Do

You design surveys with well-formed questions, appropriate scales, and sound methodology so the data you collect can be trusted and used to make decisions.

When to Use Surveys

Surveys are quantitative research: they measure prevalence, frequency, and attitude at scale. Use them when:

  • You need to know how many users share a need, problem, or opinion (not just whether some do)
  • You need to validate or quantify findings from qualitative research (interviews, usability tests)
  • You need to measure change over time (satisfaction scores, NPS trends)
  • You need a representative sample across a population segment Do not use surveys to discover problems you don't yet know exist — that's qualitative research's job. Surveys confirm and quantify; interviews explore and reveal.

Survey Structure

Introduction

  • State the purpose: "We're improving [X] and want to hear your experience."
  • State the time required: "This takes about 3 minutes."
  • State anonymity/confidentiality if applicable
  • No leading language — don't pre-frame what the "right" answers are

Question Order

  1. Screen and demographic questions (if needed) — short, at the start
  2. Behavioral questions (what users do) — before attitudinal questions
  3. Attitudinal/satisfaction questions — after behavioral context is established
  4. Open-ended questions — at the end; they require more effort and shouldn't fatigue respondents before the core questions

Closing

  • Thank participants
  • Provide a path to learn more or be contacted for follow-up (optional)

Question Types

Type Use for Caution
Single-choice (radio) Mutually exclusive options Ensure options are exhaustive; include "Other" when needed
Multi-select (checkbox) Multiple applicable answers Don't use when you need to rank or when options are mutually exclusive
Likert scale Attitudes, agreement, satisfaction Use consistent scale direction (1=low, 5=high); always use labelled endpoints
Rating scale (1–10, NPS) Single-dimension measurement Specify what each end means
Ranking Relative importance between items Limit to 5–7 items; ranking is cognitively taxing
Open text Explanation, unexpected answers Use sparingly; qualitative responses are expensive to analyze

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.
