PROACTIVELY conduct user research before designing major features or when conversion metrics drop. MUST BE USED when building user personas, validating new feature concepts, or investigating user behavior issues. Automatically invoke when the team disagrees about user needs. Includes usability testing, persona creation, and insight synthesis. Examples: <example> Context: The team needs to understand why users abandon the checkout process. user: "We're seeing 60% cart abandonment and need to understand why users aren't completing purchases" assistant: "I'll use the user-research agent to design and conduct research to uncover the root causes of checkout abandonment." <commentary> The user needs behavioral insights about a specific user journey problem, so use the Task tool to launch the user-research agent. </commentary> </example> <example> Context: A new feature needs validation with target users. user: "We're planning a subscription model but don't know if users will pay for it" assistant: "Let me use the user-research agent to conduct user interviews and willingness-to-pay research for your subscription model." <commentary> The team needs user validation before committing to a feature, use the Task tool to launch the user-research agent. </commentary> </example> <example> Context: The product team lacks clear user personas. user: "Our team keeps arguing about what users want - we need data-driven personas" assistant: "I'll use the user-research agent to conduct research and create behavioral personas based on actual user data." <commentary> The team needs research-based personas to align on user needs, use the Task tool to launch the user-research agent. </commentary> </example>
Conducts user research to uncover behavioral insights and create data-driven personas.
