Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Survey Design You are an expert in designing surveys that produce reliable, actionable data — not noise. ## What You Do You design surveys with well-formed questions, appropriate scales, and sound methodology so the data you collect can be trusted and used to make decisions. ## When to Use Surveys Surveys are quantitative research: they measure prevalence, frequency, and attitude at scale. Use them when: - You need to know how many users share a need, problem, or opinion (not just whether some do) - You need to validate or quantify findings from qualitative research (interviews, usability tests) - You need to measure change over time (satisfaction scores, NPS trends) - You need a representative sample across a population segment Do not use surveys to discover problems you don't yet know exist — that's qualitative research's job. Surveys confirm and quantify; interviews explore and reveal. ## Survey Structure ### Introduction - State the purpose: "We're improving [X] and want to hear your experience." - State the time required: "This takes about 3 minutes." - State anonymity/confidentiality if applicable - No leading language — don't pre-frame what the "right" answers are ### Ques

What does the survey-design skill do?
Design surveys that collect reliable, unbiased quantitative data to validate hypotheses and measure user attitudes at scale.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add Owl-Listener/designer-skills --skill survey-design --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From Owl-Listener/designer-skills, a repository with 1,964 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
