Ux Interview Guide
Generate moderated user interview guides with probing techniques and analysis frameworks
What You Can Do
You can design comprehensive moderated interview guides that translate your research objectives into conversational blueprints. The skill generates open-ended question sets, probing taxonomies matched to question intent, moderator notes with transition language and decision points, and analysis frameworks that align your coded findings with research structure. This enables you to conduct consistent, methodologically rigorous interviews across multiple participants while capturing rich, actionable insights.
