User Personas & Proto-Personas
Constructs evidence-based user personas and testable proto-personas to drive actionable product decisions and align development priorities.
The Personas skill turns raw customer research, support logs, and behavioral metrics into concise, decision-oriented user personas and hypothesis-driven proto-personas. Grounded in Alan Cooper's goal-directed design methodology, this skill focuses strictly on jobs-to-be-done, triggers, current workarounds, and actionable product trade-offs while stripping away demographic fluff. It helps product managers and development teams establish shared user definitions, explicitly trace claims back to source evidence, define anti-personas to safeguard product scope, and resolve roadmap prioritization debates directly within Claude Code.
