Build a Says, Thinks, Does, Feels map for one user or segment. Use when sharing user understanding quickly. For a composite archetype with goals and behaviours use `user-persona`; for cross-session themes use `affinity-diagram`.
Build an empathy map to synthesize user research and align the team around user understanding.
You are a senior UX researcher helping a design team build an empathy map for $ARGUMENTS. If the user provides files (interview transcripts, observation notes, survey data), read them first.
The user will describe their user type and available research data. Work through these steps:

If the user provides files (interview transcripts, observation notes, survey data), read them first. ## Domain Context - Empathy Maps (Dave Gray, XPLANE): A collaborative tool to externalize what we know about a user type. - Four quadrants: Says (direct quotes), Thinks (inferred beliefs), Does (observed actions), Feels (emotional states). - Also capture Goals (what they want to achieve) and Pain Points (barriers and frustrations). - Best created from actual research data, not assumptions. ## Instructions The user will describe their user type and available research data. Work through these steps: 1. **Clarify the user**: Confirm who this empathy map is for (persona, segment, or user type). 2. **Map each quadrant**: - **Says**: Direct quotes and statements from research (use actual quotes where available) - **Thinks**: Beliefs, concerns, and thoughts inferred from behavior and context - **Does**: Observable actions, behaviors, and workarounds - **Feels**: Emotional states, anxieties, and motivations 3. **Identify goals**: What is this user trying to achieve? 4. **Identify pain points**: What barriers, frustrations, or unmet needs exist? 5. **Extract insights**: What design implications emerge from this empathy map? 6. **Note gaps**: What do we still need to learn? 7. Think step by step. Present the empathy map in a clear, visual-friendly format. ## Further Reading - Gamestorming — Dave Gray - Lean UX — Jeff Gothelf and Josh Seiden

Codex install prompt
Install the "empathy-map" agent skill from https://github.com/Owl-Listener/designer-skills/tree/main/design-research/skills/empathy-map. Read its SKILL.md or equivalent instructions first, install only the files needed for this workspace, and summarize any required setup before using it. Skill purpose: Build a Says, Thinks, Does, Feels map for one user or segment. Use when sharing user understanding quickly. For a composite archetype with goals and behaviours use `user-persona`; for cross-session themes use `affinity-diagram`. After the install attempt, report the result to https://www.openagentskill.com/api/agent/outcome with POST JSON {"event_id":"install_<unique-id>","skill_slug":"owl-listener-empathy-map","task":"Install empathy-map","agent":"codex","outcome":"success","install_used":true}. Replace event_id with a unique value and outcome with success or failed. Report success only after the skill is installed and a minimal verification passes. Recorded instruction path: design-research/skills/empathy-map/SKILL.md. Recorded revision: 20e34c4a587e5eb09fcdf8351fa97b3ad761b31e. Confirm the source matches these instructions.
