UXR Report Analyzer

Overview

This Skill takes a User Experience Research (UXR) report in PDF format, extracts and analyzes its content, and generates a comprehensive structured analysis document. The analysis follows a consistent framework designed for strategic planning and cross-research synthesis, with sections covering metadata, big picture insights, key findings, metrics, recommendations, and connections to related research.

When to Apply

Use this Skill when:

• User provides a UXR report PDF that needs analysis
• User requests analysis of research documents for strategic planning
• User asks to process reports in the "Reports to Review" folder
• A new research document needs to be catalogued and summarized

Do NOT use this Skill when:

• User wants to read an existing analysis (just use Read tool)
• User is asking general questions about research (use existing analyses)
• Report is not a UXR/research document

Inputs

• PDF Report Path: Absolute path to the UXR report PDF file
• Original URL: URL of the source document (will prompt user if not provided)
• Project Context: Information about HubSpot's Overall Data Strategy and strategic objectives (available in project resources)

Outputs

• Structured markdown analysis file saved to ~/Projects/writing/resources/UXR Reports/Analysis/
• Filename format: [Report_Name]_Analysis_[MM-YYYY].md
• HTML comment summary at top for quick reference
• Original PDF moved to Reviewed Reports/ folder after analysis

Instructions for Claude

1. Initial Setup and Information Gathering

1. Use mcp__prometheus__prometheus_info to assess the PDF structure and complexity
2. Ask user for the original URL of the report using AskUserQuestion tool:
   • Question: "What is the URL of the original research report?"
   • Header: "Source URL"
   • Provide option to skip if URL doesn't exist
3. Determine current month and year for filename (format: MM-YYYY)

2. Extract Report Content

1. Use mcp__prometheus__prometheus_extract_text with appropriate settings:
   • max_tokens_per_chunk: 8000 (adjust based on prometheus_info recommendations)
   • include_page_numbers: true
   • clean_text: true
2. If report is very large (>50 pages), consider using prometheus_split first
3. Review all extracted chunks to understand full report scope

3. Analyze Report Using Master Framework

Read the project context from ~/Projects/writing/resources/CLAUDE.md to understand HubSpot's Overall Data Strategy and strategic objectives.

Apply deep analysis to identify:

• Core research questions and methodology
• Key findings that challenge assumptions or reveal gaps
• Quantitative metrics and data points (specific numbers, percentages, correlations)
• Customer pain points and unmet needs
• Strategic implications for product/business strategy
• Connections to other research in the catalog
• Contradictions with existing research

4. Structure the Analysis Document

Use the template in resources/ANALYSIS_TEMPLATE.md to create a comprehensive analysis with these sections:

HTML Comment Summary (Lines 1-9)

<!-- SUMMARY
Title: [Report Title]
Type: [Research Type - e.g., Qualitative UXR Study, Market Analysis, JTBD Framework]
Key Themes: [3-5 core themes, comma-separated]
Core Insights: [2-3 sentences capturing the most critical findings]
Relevance: [How this connects to strategic objectives - SO1-SO5]
Quality: [Assessment: High/Medium/Low - methodology rigor, sample size, actionability]
Last Reviewed: [YYYY-MM-DD]
-->

Main Document Structure

1. Title: # [Report Name] Analysis

2. Metadata

   • Study Name
   • Created By (researchers/team)
   • Study URL (from user input or "URL not available")

3. The Big Picture

   • 2-3 paragraph summary of findings
   • Explicit connection to HubSpot Overall Data Strategy
   • How findings align with or challenge current strategic direction

4. Key Findings

   • Itemized list with descriptive headers
   • Each finding includes quick description
   • Group related findings under themes when appropriate

5. Interesting Metrics (if applicable)

   • Bullet list of critical data points
   • Format: "X% of Y do Z" or "Metric shows correlation with outcome"
   • Only include if highly significant numbers surface in research

6. Recommendations

   • Split into "Strategic Initiatives" and "Tactical Actions"
   • Each recommendation should be actionable and specific
   • Connect to findings explicitly

7. Connected Research

   • List 3-5 related studies from the catalog
   • For each: title, brief description of connection
   • Use actual research from ~/Projects/writing/resources/UXR Reports/Analysis/claude.md

8. Disconnected Research (if applicable)

   • Highlight contradictions or challenges aligning with previous research
   • Explain the nature of the contradiction
   • Only include if genuine conflicts exist

9. Slide/Section Index

   • Create searchable index of major sections/slides
   • Format: "Slide X: [Key concept]" or "Section: [Key concept]"

5. Quality Standards

• Be Specific: Use exact numbers, percentages, quotes from the research
• Be Strategic: Connect every insight to business implications
• Be Honest: Note research limitations, sample size issues, methodology gaps
• Be Connected: Reference other research; build knowledge graph
• Use Clear Language: Avoid jargon; explain frameworks simply
• Quote Customers: When research includes customer quotes, use them to add authenticity

6. Save Analysis and Move Original PDF

Step 1: Generate filename

• Format: [Report_Name]_Analysis_[MM-YYYY].md
• Remove special characters, use underscores
• Include current month-year (e.g., 11-2025)

Step 2: Save analysis file

• Location: ~/Projects/writing/resources/UXR Reports/Analysis/
• Use Write tool to create the analysis markdown file

Step 3: Move original PDF to archive After successfully creating the analysis, move the original PDF:

• Source: ~/Projects/writing/resources/UXR Reports/Reports to Review/[original_filename].pdf
• Destination: ~/Projects/writing/resources/UXR Reports/Reviewed Reports/[original_filename].pdf
• Use Bash tool with mv command:
  bashCopy

  mv "~/Projects/writing/resources/UXR Reports/Reports to Review/[original_filename].pdf" "~/Projects/writing/resources/UXR Reports/Reviewed Reports/[original_filename].pdf"
  

• Confirm the move was successful before proceeding
• Report to user: "Original PDF moved to Reviewed Reports folder"

7. Update Catalog

After creating analysis:

1. Add entry to ~/Projects/writing/resources/UXR Reports/Analysis/claude.md
2. Include in appropriate category
3. Update resource count and statistics

Reference Materials

• Analysis Template: See resources/ANALYSIS_TEMPLATE.md for detailed section structure
