How to use User Personas in your AI agent

Install and use the User Personas skill in Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, and Windsurf — with sample prompts.

Each persona includes their job-to-be-done, pain points, desired outcomes, and unexpected behavioral insights. Perfect for product managers, marketers, and founders who need to understand and segment their users without doing manual analysis.
