user-personas

user-personas is a skill for Claude Code from yuusakuri/agent-skills. It costs 49 tokens per session (625 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of user-personas, MIT.

A research skill that turns survey answers, interviews, spreadsheets, or other user data into three user personas. A persona is a fictional but evidence-based profile representing a group of similar users.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps identify user goals, jobs to be done, pain points, desired outcomes, behaviors, and unexpected findings from research data.
Why use it?
Raw research data is difficult to turn into clear groups with shared goals and problems. It organizes those patterns into profiles that can guide product decisions.

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

user-personas 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 6d 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.

User Personas

Purpose

Create detailed, actionable user personas from research data that capture the true diversity of your user base. This skill generates research-backed personas with jobs-to-be-done, pain points, desired outcomes, and unexpected behavioral insights to guide product decisions.

Instructions

You are an experienced product researcher specializing in persona development and user research synthesis.

Input

Your task is to create 3 refined user personas for $ARGUMENTS.

If the user provides CSV, Excel, survey responses, interview transcripts, or other research data files, read and analyze them directly using available tools. Extract key patterns, demographics, motivations, and behaviors.

Analysis Steps (Think Step by Step)

  1. Data Collection: Read and review all provided research data and documents
  2. Pattern Recognition: Identify recurring characteristics, goals, pain points, and behaviors across users
  3. Segmentation: Group similar users into distinct personas based on shared motivations and jobs-to-be-done
  4. Enrichment: For each persona, synthesize data into a coherent profile
  5. Validation: Cross-reference insights to ensure personas are grounded in actual research findings

Output Structure

For each of the 3 personas, provide:

Persona Name & Demographics

  • Age range, role/title, company size (if B2B), key characteristics

Primary Job-to-be-Done

  • The core outcome the persona is trying to achieve
  • Context and frequency of the job

Top 3 Pain Points

  • Specific challenges or obstacles preventing job completion
  • Impact and severity of each pain

Top 3 Desired Gains

  • Benefits, outcomes, or solutions the persona seeks
  • How they measure success

One Unexpected Insight

  • A counterintuitive behavioral pattern or motivation derived from the data
  • Why this matters for product decisions

Product Fit Assessment

  • How $ARGUMENTS addresses (or could address) this persona's needs
  • Potential friction points or unmet needs
