# User Research Skill for AI Agents
**The human layer in the AI stack** — give any AI agent direct access to real human opinions, experiences, and decision-making.

## What is this?
An AI agent skill that enables any AI platform to **plan, run, and synthesize user research** — both qualitative (interviews) and quantitative (surveys) — without leaving the conversation.
Use it for **general-purpose research** (design research plans, interview guides, synthesize reports), or connect to **Cookiy AI** to run **end-to-end studies** with real or synthetic participants.

## Capabilities
| | Capability | Description |
|---|---|---|
| **Plan** | Research Planning | Generates research plans, screening questionnaires, and interview guides |
| **Synthesize** | Report Synthesis | Turns raw interview transcripts into evidence-backed reports with codebooks, personas, and prioritized findings |
| **Qual** | Qualitative Studies | AI-moderated interviews with real or synthetic participants, via Cookiy AI |
| **Quant** | Quantitative Surveys | Multi-language surveys with conditional logic, respondent recruitment, and results — via Cookiy AI |

## Examples
> *"I want to understand why users churn after onboarding"*
> — Designs a research plan, screener, and interview guide targeting early-stage drop-off.
> *"Here are 20 interview transcripts, give me a report"*
> — Runs a five-phase synthesis pipeline and produces a structured report with themes and personas.
> *"Run a study on how developers choose CI/CD tools"*
> — Via Cookiy AI: creates the study, runs AI-moderated interviews, and delivers the report.
> *"Survey 200 users about feature satisfaction"*
> — Via Cookiy AI: designs a survey, recruits respondents, and collects results.
