What is Research Planner?
The research-planner is a specialized tool within the Openclaw Skills ecosystem designed to bridge the gap between business objectives and actionable research. Inspired by industry-leading frameworks from Nielsen Norman Group and McKinsey, it focuses strictly on the planning and documentation phases of research. This skill ensures that every study is grounded in hypothesis-driven logic and MECE (Mutually Exclusive, Collectively Exhaustive) problem framing.
By utilizing this skill, developers and researchers can automate the creation of high-quality research artifacts. While it excels at methodology selection and material authoring—such as interview guides and usability scripts—it maintains a clear boundary by delegating data analysis to specialized analysis skills, ensuring a modular and clean workflow in your research pipeline.
Research Planner Use Cases
- Designing end-to-end user research plans for new product discovery.
- Authoring recruitment screeners and participant consent forms for usability testing.
- Selecting between qualitative and quantitative methods based on budget and time constraints.
- Drafting structured interview guides, survey questionnaires, and task-based scripts.
- Creating stakeholder kickoff agendas and project milestone timelines for research initiatives.
How Research Planner Works
- Problem Framing: The skill clarifies business goals, target user segments, and core hypotheses to create a concise Problem Statement.
- Method Selection: It analyzes constraints to recommend optimal approaches like in-depth interviews, card sorting, or A/B testing.
- Study Planning: A comprehensive plan is generated covering methodology, participant criteria, and ethical considerations.
- Artifact Generation: Detailed materials are produced, including recruitment screeners, discussion guides, and survey layouts.
- Package Delivery: All components are bundled into an execution-ready format for immediate field use.
