Cookiy AI User Research Skill

A skill that runs user research inside the agent: plan, interview guide, report synthesis, plus interviews and quantitative surveys through the Cookiy AI servic

Skill

Medium risk

We rate an entry medium when the tool runs code, makes network calls or reads project files. Check what exactly it does before installing.

Why this level

  • Sends research data to the external Cookiy AI service in the full cycle
  • Reads transcripts and runs a helper script when calling the service
All reasons and checks

Text for your agent

Install the skill: /plugin marketplace add cookiy-ai/user-research-skill, then /plugin install user-research@cookiy-ai and /reload-plugins. In Codex, Cursor and other agents install via npx cookiy-ai.

Other ways from the author
/plugin marketplace add cookiy-ai/user-research-skill
/plugin install user-research@cookiy-ai
/reload-plugins

Install via the Claude Code plugin marketplace.

This is third-party code. Review the repository files before installing.

What it does

The skill helps the agent run user research end to end. It routes work by intent: draft a research plan, screener and interview guide, or turn transcripts into a report through a five-phase synthesis with a codebook, personas and prioritized findings. Planning and synthesis work on their own, on the agent's reasoning. The full cycle with real or synthetic participants, and multi-language quantitative surveys with conditional logic and respondent recruitment, run through the Cookiy AI service. The web app and this skill share one account, and studies and results sync between them.

Who it is for. For product managers, designers, researchers and founders who need to plan and analyze user research without leaving the agent.

Good fit when

  • You need a research plan, screener and interview guide
  • You have interview transcripts and need a structured report with themes and personas
  • You need to run interviews or a quantitative survey through the Cookiy AI service

Not a fit when

  • You need real respondents but have no Cookiy AI account and billing
  • The task is not about user research

Example request

Draft a research plan and interview guide to understand why users churn after onboarding

Limitations

Planning and report synthesis work on their own, but interviews and quantitative surveys with participants run through the Cookiy AI service, which needs an account, billing and access to its API. Desktop Claude variants require enabling network access to the service domain. Availability of the service from Russia without a VPN is not verified; if it is unreachable, only the skill's offline capabilities remain.

How to disable. Remove the user-research plugin via /plugin or delete the skill folder from the agent's skills directory.

Security check

  • Sends research data to the external Cookiy AI service in the full cycle
  • Reads transcripts and runs a helper script when calling the service

README in short

The README describes an open-source user research skill that works in Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other agents. It can plan studies, prepare screeners and interview guides and synthesize reports from transcripts, and through the Cookiy AI service run interviews with real or synthetic participants and quantitative surveys. The web app and skill share one account and sync studies and results. Installation is via the plugin marketplace, a zip download for desktop Claude or npx for other agents. MIT licensed.

FAQ

Does the skill work without the Cookiy service?

Yes. Building a plan, screener, interview guide and synthesizing a report from transcripts work on their own. The Cookiy service is needed to run interviews and quantitative surveys with participants.

What does report synthesis do?

It runs five phases: familiarization, coding, theme extraction, synthesis and report assembly with a codebook, personas and prioritized findings.
