assumption-mapper

assumption-mapper is a skill for Claude Code from cnfeat/top-pm-skills. It costs 73 tokens per session (829 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A review method that finds hidden beliefs in a product brief or PRD, which is a document describing a product or feature. It rates each assumption by how uncertain it is and how much harm it could cause if wrong.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review product plans, identify desirability, feasibility, viability, and usability risks, and choose ways to test them.
Why use it?
It helps teams find risky ideas before they spend time and money building on them.

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

assumption-mapper 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 7d 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.

Assumption Mapper Skill

Surface and prioritize the untested assumptions embedded in any product plan before development begins.

Required Inputs

Ask the user for these if not provided:

  • Product brief, PRD, or concept description (even rough notes work)
  • Stage (concept / discovery / pre-build / post-launch — affects which assumptions matter most)

Process

  1. Read the provided brief, PRD, or concept description
  2. Extract assumptions across four categories:
    • Desirability (do users want this?)
    • Feasibility (can we build it?)
    • Viability (will it sustain the business?)
    • Usability (can users actually use it?)
  3. Score each assumption:
    • Confidence (1-5): How sure are we this is true?
    • Impact (1-5): How badly does the plan fail if this assumption is wrong?
    • Priority = Impact − Confidence (higher = test first)
  4. Validate completeness — Ensure at least one assumption per category. If a category is empty, re-read the brief looking specifically for that type.
  5. Output a ranked list with recommended validation methods
