Design Research Synthesis — Anthropic — AI skill

When to use it

Use after a design study to connect participant observations and quotes to concrete interface improvements. The output template includes prevalence, opportunities, segments, recommendations and methodology limitations. Supply actual source material: do not invent participant quotes, counts or segment sizes, and do not treat a qualitative sample as population statistics. Optional feedback, analytics and knowledge-base integrations require separately configured connectors; instructions alone provide no access. Distinct from planning usability tests or synthesizing card-sort groups. Not installed, executed or runtime-tested during discovery. GitHub stars are repository-wide, not a rating of this skill.

Pair this skill with a visual reference

A skill guides how your agent works; a design reference shows the direction you want. Choose an example for a specific job, such as the headline hierarchy or form layout, and keep your project's existing design rules explicit.

Start with design references you can inspect, then use our guide to briefing an AI coding agent to turn observations into requirements. If you need implementation components, compare UI libraries for your stack.
