What it does

Once installed, the agent builds three distinct user personas from research you provide, such as survey responses, interview transcripts, or CSV/Excel files. Each persona covers the job the user is trying to get done, their top pain points and desired gains, one unexpected behavioural insight, and how your product fits their needs. The skill asks the agent to ground every claim in the data and to flag gaps where more research is needed.

Great for

  • Product managers turning survey or interview results into persona documents
  • Founders or small teams who have raw customer feedback but no structured personas yet
  • Researchers who want a consistent persona format across studies

Skip it if

  • Projects with no real research data, since the skill is meant to ground personas in evidence and invented personas would be misleading
  • Replacing primary research with AI guesses; the output is only as good as the input data

Try asking

  • “Create three personas from this survey export in survey_results.csv for our onboarding redesign”
  • “Build user personas from these five interview transcripts, focusing on the jobs they are hiring our app to do”
  • “Segment our beta users into personas for the pricing decision and flag any data gaps”

  3. 3

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Provide the actual research files or pasted data rather than a vague description, so the personas can cite real quotes and patterns.
  • Name the product or feature in your request, since the skill asks how it fits each persona.
  • Review the data-gap notes the agent flags and run further research before using the personas for major decisions.
