opportunity-solution-tree

opportunity-solution-tree is a skill for Claude Code from aleksander-dytko/ai-pm-workspace. It costs 24 tokens per session (950 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A product-discovery map that connects a measurable desired outcome to customer problems, possible solutions, and experiments. Product discovery is the work of learning what to build before committing to it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Mapping outcomes, customer opportunities, solution ideas, and experiments using Teresa Torres's Opportunity Solution Tree framework.
Why use it?
It helps teams investigate customer needs before jumping straight to features. This makes it easier to compare problems, test ideas, and focus discovery work.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

opportunity-solution-tree scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Opportunity Solution Tree (OST)

A visual framework for structuring continuous product discovery. Connects a desired outcome to customer opportunities, possible solutions, and experiments to validate them.

Domain Context

The Opportunity Solution Tree (Teresa Torres, Continuous Discovery Habits) is the backbone of modern product discovery. It prevents teams from jumping to solutions by forcing them to first map the opportunity space.

Structure (4 levels):

  1. Desired Outcome (top) - The measurable business or product outcome the team is pursuing. Should be a single, clear metric (e.g., "increase 7-day retention to 40%"). This comes from your OKRs or product strategy.

  2. Opportunities (second level) - Customer needs, pain points, or desires discovered through research. These are problems worth solving - not features. Frame them from the customer's perspective: "I struggle to..." or "I wish I could..." Prioritize using Opportunity Score: Importance * (1 - Satisfaction) (Dan Olsen, The Lean Product Playbook). Normalize Importance and Satisfaction to 0-1.

  3. Solutions (third level) - Possible ways to address each opportunity. Generate multiple solutions per opportunity - don't commit to the first idea. The Product Trio (PM + Designer + Engineer) should ideate together. "Best ideas often come from engineers."

  4. Experiments (bottom) - Fast, cheap tests to validate whether a solution actually addresses the opportunity. Use assumption testing (Value, Usability, Viability, Feasibility risks). Prefer experiments with "skin-in-the-game" (Alberto Savoia) over opinion-based validation.

Key principles:

  • One outcome at a time. Don't try to solve everything. Focus the tree on a single desired outcome.
  • Opportunities, not features. "Never allow customers to design solutions. Prioritize opportunities (problems), not features."
  • Compare and contrast. Always generate at least 3 solutions per opportunity before choosing. Avoid the "first idea" trap.
  • Discovery is not linear. Loop back if experiments fail. Kill solutions that don't validate. Explore new branches.
  • Continuous, not periodic. Update the tree weekly as you learn from interviews, analytics, and experiments.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
