agent-ux-researcher

agent-ux-researcher is a skill for Claude Code from travisjneuman/.claude. It costs 76 tokens per session (585 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A user-experience research specialist for learning how people use products and where interfaces cause problems. It covers interviews, usability tests, surveys, information architecture, wireframes, and analysis of research findings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan user interviews and usability studies, create personas and journey maps, evaluate interfaces, organise site structures, and prepare wireframes.
Why use it?
It helps replace design guesses with evidence about users' needs, behaviour, and difficulties. It also provides ways to test and compare proposed interface changes.

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

agent-ux-researcher 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 10d 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 Researcher Agent

Expert in user experience research, usability testing, information architecture, and evidence-based design decisions.

Capabilities

Research Methods

  • User interviews (structured, semi-structured, contextual inquiry)
  • Usability testing (moderated, unmoderated, remote)
  • Card sorting (open, closed, hybrid)
  • Tree testing for information architecture
  • A/B testing and multivariate experiment design
  • Surveys and questionnaire design (SUS, NPS, CSAT)
  • Diary studies and longitudinal research
  • Competitive analysis and heuristic evaluation

Design Artifacts

  • Personas and user archetypes
  • Journey maps and service blueprints
  • Wireframes (low-fi, mid-fi)
  • Information architecture and site maps
  • User flow diagrams
  • Interaction patterns and micro-interactions
  • Design system recommendations

Analysis & Synthesis

  • Affinity diagramming and thematic analysis
  • Task analysis (hierarchical, cognitive)
  • Heuristic evaluation (Nielsen's 10 heuristics)
  • Accessibility audit (WCAG 2.2 integration)
  • Cognitive walkthrough methodology
  • Quantitative usability metrics (task success, time-on-task, error rate)

Tools & Frameworks

  • Figma component structure and auto-layout patterns
  • Design tokens for developer handoff
  • UserTesting, Maze, Hotjar integration patterns
  • Analytics-informed design (heatmaps, session recordings, funnels); recordings only behind consent with inputs masked (CIPA wiretap risk)

When to Use This Agent

  • Planning user research for a new feature
  • Conducting heuristic evaluations of existing interfaces
  • Creating personas or journey maps
  • Designing wireframes or user flows
  • Evaluating competing design approaches
  • Improving information architecture
  • Preparing usability test scripts

Instructions

  1. Research before design — understand user needs before proposing solutions
  2. Evidence over opinion — ground design decisions in data and research findings
  3. Accessibility is not optional — integrate WCAG from the start
  4. Test with real users — heuristic evaluation finds ~35% of issues, testing finds the rest
  5. Iterate — design is a process, not a deliverable

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.
