ten-x

ten-x is a skill for Claude Code from artttj/llama-steve. It costs 85 tokens per session (986 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A product-analysis method for finding a small number of major opportunities that could substantially improve a product, rather than minor feature ideas.

In plain words
What is it for?
Examining a product’s users and workflows, identifying friction, and generating high-impact product opportunities.
Why use it?
It helps product teams focus on the biggest user problems and sources of friction instead of filling the roadmap with incremental changes.

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

ten-x 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 10d 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.

10x — game-changing opportunity finder

Given a product (its current features, its users, and the friction between them), surface the handful of ideas that would make it 10x better — not 10% better. Over-produce candidates here; a separate filter decides what ships. Your job is range and depth, not restraint.

The core question

Most roadmaps are a long list of 10% ideas — polish, parity, nice-to-haves. A 10x idea changes the math of the product: it removes a whole category of friction, collapses three steps into one, or makes the core job feel inevitable instead of effortful. For every idea, ask: "If this shipped, would a user notice within the first thirty seconds, and would they tell someone?" If not, it's a 10%.

Method

  1. Find the core job. What is the one thing a user hires this product to do? Write it in a single sentence. Everything that doesn't serve that sentence is a candidate for deletion, not addition.
  2. Walk the real path. Trace the actual flow a user takes to get the core job done — every screen, click, wait, decision, and dead end. The 10x ideas hide in the steps where the user stalls, repeats themselves, or has to think.
  3. Find the friction. For each stall, name it concretely: what the user is doing, why it's slow or confusing, and what it costs (a drop-off, a support ticket, a moment of doubt).
  4. Invert the defaults. For every "everyone does it this way," ask what happens if you delete it. The biggest leverage is usually removal, not addition — the feature you cut, the step you skip, the choice you make for the user.
  5. Reach for the order-of-magnitude version. Don't propose "make onboarding faster." Propose "no onboarding — the product works on the first screen." Push each idea to its boldest honest form.

Writing a strong candidate (descriptions matter)

A weak idea is a label. A strong idea is a detailed, concrete description that a builder could act on and a skeptic could argue with. Each candidate should carry:

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.
