A growing collection of open-source AI skills for user researchers.
These skills let an AI coding assistant (like GitHub Copilot CLI or Claude Code) do the tedious parts of research work - cutting highlight reels, writing up notes, summarizing findings - so you can spend your time on the thinking, not the busywork.
Everything runs on your own machine. No recordings or research data are uploaded to third-party servers, which matters for sensitive research (enterprise customers, internal employees, regulated industries).
| Skill | What it does |
|---|---|
| interview-highlight-reel | Turn a recorded interview (video + transcript) into a highlight reel with title cards and subtitles, a structured notes doc, and a team-ready TL;DR. Also builds cross-interview reels grouped by theme. |
More skills coming - this repo will grow as I build and de-brand them.
A skill is a plain-text instruction file that tells an AI assistant how to perform a specific, repeatable task well. There's nothing to install beyond the tools each skill lists - you point your assistant at the skill file and it follows the workflow, asking you questions along the way.
Each skill folder includes:
SKILL.md- for GitHub Copilot CLI / VS Code Copilot (Copilot skill format)CLAUDE.md- for Claude CodeREADME.md- setup, value props, and how to use that specific skill
Because they're just text, you can read exactly what they do and tweak them to fit your workflow.
- Pick a skill and open its folder
- Follow the setup steps in that skill's
README.md - Copy the
SKILL.md(Copilot) orCLAUDE.md(Claude Code) into your assistant - Start a session and tell your assistant what you want to do
New to these skills? Try one on a project you've already done manually - you'll quickly see whether it matches your judgment, and you can adjust the instructions from there.
