This repo is the skill for AI agents (Claude Code, CodeX, Cursor, etc.). If you want to experience the full product yourself, head to our official website — Cookiy.ai is built for humans, and it's the easiest way to try it. ✨

Once you log in on the website, the web app and this CLI skill are fully connected — studies, participants, and results stay in sync across both.

What is this?

An AI agent skill that enables any AI platform to plan, run, and synthesize user research — both qualitative (interviews) and quantitative (surveys) — without leaving the conversation.

Use it for general-purpose research (design research plans, interview guides, synthesize reports), or connect to Cookiy AI to run end-to-end studies with real or synthetic participants.
