User Persona Free Claude Code skill, copy & paste

Builds a realistic user persona from what you know about your users, with goals, frustrations and needs to design for.

WHEN TO USE IT

When you are designing something and need a clear picture of who it is for.

Lives in A folder per skill with a SKILL.md inside: .claude/skills/<name>/ or ~/.claude/skills/<name>/.
Checked

Formats change. If a field stops working, check it against Anthropic's documentation.

SKILL.md

One file. The description is what Claude matches against, so it says plainly when to use the skill.

---
name: user-persona
description: Create a user persona from research notes or what the user knows about their audience. Use when the user asks for a persona, a target user profile or who to design for.
---

Create a user persona.

1. If the product, the audience or any research notes are missing, ask once, in one message, then continue.
2. Write the persona:
   - Name and a one-line description (the name is invented and marked as such)
   - Context: role, setting and how they use similar products
   - Goals: three things they want to achieve
   - Frustrations: three things that get in their way
   - Needs from the product: what would make it work for them
   - A typical day or scenario, in four or five sentences
3. Add "Based on": which points come from research and which are assumptions to test.

Rules:
- Do not invent statistics or quotes; label assumptions as [assumption].
- Avoid stereotypes about age, gender, region or ability.
- Keep it to one page so a team actually uses it.
Install and use it

Put the folder in your skills directory. Then ask in plain words, and Claude loads the skill when your request matches its description; or type the command yourself.

# for you, in every project
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/user-persona
mv SKILL.md ~/.claude/skills/user-persona/

# then, inside Claude Code, either ask naturally:
#   make a user persona for my fitness app
# or run it by name:
#   /user-persona
