What problem does it solve? Teams often argue from private mental models of the customer before real research exists. This Skill turns scattered research notes, support transcripts, analytics, and team knowledge into a structured proto-persona hypothesis that aligns the team early and makes evidence gaps visible. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Facilitated persona building: Asks up to four targeted questions one at a time, accepts bulk research drops, and reports what was found, inferred, and still missing. - Evidence discipline: Forces every quote to be sourced or marked as a placeholder, and tags every unverified claim with [ASSUMPTION - VALIDATE] so nothing fabricated slips into decks. - Stable output contract: Emits the Proto Persona Canvas template with fixed section names that paste cleanly into design docs and Jira, plus an optional anti-persona for scoping. - Use Case: A product team preparing a discovery phase pastes three support call transcripts and receives a labelled proto-persona with real quotes, tagged assumptions, and interview questions to validate them. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to build a proto-persona for your target user from your existing research notes and support transcripts.
