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

software-ux-research 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 9d 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.

Software UX Research

Use this skill to reduce product and design risk with evidence. It owns research method choice, study design, findings synthesis, and research operations. It does not own UI implementation.

Quick Reference

Need Default Output
discovery and JTBD semi-structured interviews with 5-8 participants opportunity brief
usability evaluation moderated usability test with 5-7 participants findings report with severity
quantification after qual insight survey or analytics review segment or pattern readout
causal change validation controlled experiment or staged rollout experiment brief
research ops and repository design lightweight intake, taxonomy, and consent model research-ops recommendation
accessibility or low-digital-literacy research moderated sessions with adapted materials risk and inclusion report

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the main question is:

  • what user problem matters and for whom
  • whether a concept, flow, or prototype is understandable and usable
  • which research method is appropriate
  • how to design a study and synthesize findings
  • how to run research ops, repository, and consent workflows

Route elsewhere when the main task is:

Need Use Instead
UI design and interaction patterns ../software-ui-ux-design/SKILL.md
code-level accessibility remediation ../software-accessibility/SKILL.md
accessibility testing automation and CI gates ../qa-testing-accessibility/SKILL.md
analytics instrumentation implementation marketing-product-analytics and ../qa-observability/SKILL.md

Defaults

  • start from the decision to unblock
  • choose the smallest method mix that can answer the question
  • use qual for motives and friction, quant for scale and segmentation
  • treat synthetic participants as hypothesis generation only
  • require confidence level and evidence trail in every output
  • current standards and regulatory claims must be verified before final advice

Changes

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.
