Claude Skills & Workflows for User Research
Nikki Anderson
Founder @ User Research Strategist
The gap between using Claude and having a Claude system is two hours.
Right now, somewhere in a research team, someone is re-typing the same context into Claude for the fourth time this week, getting something generic back, editing it into something usable, and wondering why AI is supposed to be changing everything.
It does change things, just not through repetitive prompting.
A Claude Skill tells Claude exactly how to approach a specific research task, your methodology, quality bar, output format, so you stop explaining yourself every session and Claude starts working the way you work. Chain three skills together and you have a workflow: one slash command, the right process running automatically.
I've built over 52 of these skills for research and watched researchers go from "Claude is fine I guess" to running certain processes on autopilot. That shift happens the moment you build something rather than just prompt something.
In two hours you pick a track, proving research value, research reporting, or UXR career strategy, customize three skills to your specific work, and chain them into a workflow that's running before we finish. You leave with 3 Claude Skills built to your methodology, a working workflow, and the blueprint to extend it.
Workshop agenda
- 10:30AM EDT
Activity: Choose your workflow track
You'll pick one of three tracks, proving research value, research reporting, or UXR career strategy, based on what's causing you the most friction in your work right now
- 10:40AM EDT
Theory: What a Claude Skill is and how workflows chain
We'll cover the anatomy of a SKILL.md file, how Claude reads and applies it, and what it means to connect skills into a workflow with a single slash command
- 10:55AM EDT
Activity: Build Skill 1
I will do a live demonstration of how to build a skill and then you build your first Claude Skill for your chosen track from scratch
- 11:20AM EDT
Activity: Build Skill 2 and 3
We will build two more skills during this time and I will be there to answer any questions that come up and debug any issues
- 12:00PM EDT
Activity: Chain your workflow
Connect your three skills into a working workflow with a slash command and have a plant to run it on an upcoming (or past) project
- 12:15PM EDT
Q&A + what to build next
Live troubleshooting, questions, and a clear picture of which skills to add next to extend your workflow further
- 12:30PM EDT
Bonus content: The UXR Skill Builder
A SKILL.md file that builds SKILL.md files. Load it into Claude, describe any research task you need a skill for, and it generates a fully structured SKILL.md built to your methodology
