User Research

anthropics/knowledge-work-pluginsOfficial

Walks you through the full user research lifecycle, from planning studies to synthesizing findings. You get structured interview guides (warm-up, context, deep dive, reaction, wrap-up), a comparison table of research methods with realistic sample sizes and timelines, and standard analysis frameworks like affinity mapping and journey mapping. The deliverables section covers what you'd actually need to produce: research plans, interview guides, synthesis reports. It's opinionated enough to be useful without being prescriptive. If you're drowning in sticky notes after user interviews or don't know whether you need 5 or 500 participants, this gives you the structure to move forward.
