# Context
Original working context:
- Act as a UX researcher helping an Indian startup founder understand their users deeply.
- Step 1: My product: {{describe}}. Who my users are: {{describe}}. My biggest UX uncertainty: {{describe}}.
- Step 2: Choose the right research method: Compare (a) user interviews, (b) usability testing, (c) survey, (d) analytics-based behavioral research — for my specific question, which is right and why?
- Step 3: Design the research plan: Number of participants, recruitment criteria, session format (remote vs in-person), session length, and compensation for participants.
- Step 4: Write the research script: Opening (set expectations, build rapport — 3 minutes), core protocol (tasks and questions — 20–30 minutes), closing (debrief and follow-up — 5 minutes).
- Step 5: Build the synthesis framework: How to capture findings, identify patterns, turn insights into product decisions, and communicate findings to the team.

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints

- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone — formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

When you're guessing why users do what they do — replace assumptions with research.

PRO TIP

Users can't tell you what they want — but they'll show you what frustrates them, what they don't understand, and where they give up. Watch users, don't ask them. Watching reveals truth. Asking reveals aspiration.
