Personas with goals and frustrations
User persona prompts with demographics, jobs-to-be-done, and quotes.
Persona prompts need behavioral evidence—not invented hobbies.
Research workflow on LMpad
Summarize, synthesize, and brief without treating the model as a citation engine.
- 1
Paste sources in variables
Put excerpts you trust into {{sources}} — instruct the model not to invent citations.
- 2
Pick summarization depth
TL;DR, executive, and detailed modes work best as separate saved prompts.
- 3
Flag uncertainty
Add a prompt section: 'List claims that need verification' on every research run.
- 4
Chain summaries
Summarize chunks, then run a merge prompt — better than one 50-page paste.

Export to your doc
Copy Markdown output; keep the LMpad note as your reproducible method.
