To plan UX research tasks, this Skill automates workflow delegation by extracting product context and generating a structured research brief with phase-based questions. It guides you to hand off tasks to a subagent or conduct the research manually.

A UX research brief organizes product development research by structuring user context, information architecture, flows, patterns, onboarding, and accessibility considerations into a comprehensive document saved at .agents/product/UXResearch.md.

To generate a UX research document, start by inspecting .agents/product/PRD.md and .agents/product/ProductPhases.md to initialize the research brief, then apply the provided template to structure your findings.

Yes, you can use existing market research when planning a UX research workflow. The generated document optionally references .agents/product/Marketresearch.md to provide additional framing for your research brief.

You do not need a dedicated subagent to conduct UX research. The delegation framework provides steps to hand off tasks to a ux-researcher subagent, but also supports autonomous self-conducted research when one is unavailable.

Structuring phase-based UX research questions requires product context extracted from your PRD and ProductPhases documents. This framing ensures the research workflow aligns with your specific product development phases.
