stelow-product-discovery

stelow-product-discovery is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from calionauta/stelow. It costs 133 tokens per session (2,945 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A product-discovery guide for replacing assumptions with evidence before building. It uses small experiments and short learning cycles to study an audience, market, solution, offer, customer commitment, delivery process, and viable business model.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to research customers and markets, compare solutions, test offers, measure commitment, explore manual processes, assess product-market fit, and choose business models or channels.
Why use it?
It helps prevent teams from spending time building products that nobody wants. Testing uncertain ideas early makes learning faster and less expensive.

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

stelow-product-discovery 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 294 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Product with Short Learning Cycles — Router

This guide replaces speculation with evidence, step by step. Core principle: experiment before building. Reduce uncertainty with small, fast, cheap experiments.

"Life is too short to build something that nobody wants." — Ash Maurya

The method has 8 stages, not necessarily linear. This skill routes; the content of each stage lives in the skill or reference named in the map below. Read the target, not this page, once you know which stage you are in.

Stage map

# Stage Where it lives Artifact it produces
1 Find and understand the audience stelow-product-audience-market interview notes
2 Define the market stelow-product-audience-market GPN story (group, purpose, needs)
3 Define and prioritize solutions stelow-product-solutions prioritized solution list
4 Develop and evaluate the offer stelow-product-offer offer definition
5 Assess commitment stelow-product-launch-validation pre-sales / waitlist counts
6 Discover the process stelow-product-manual-process manual delivery script
7 Evolve to a viable business stelow-product-viable-business product-market fit verdict + channel
8 The pulse of the system stelow-product-health signal tension read

Before any stage, the reliability rules for evidence live in the Evidence section of this file, below. Read it when a stage result looks convincing but weak.

Reference files

None. Stages 1 through 8 all resolve to skills, and the evidence rules live in this file. The method's sources (Maurya, Kagan, Savoia, Lavingia, Hormozi, Ulwick, NFX and others) are credited where they are used, in the skill that applies them — there is no central bibliography, because a list of books nobody opens is not a reference.

Domain skills

These are not stages. They are cuts you reach for by topic, in any order, when the question is about that domain rather than about where you are in the method:

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.
