continuous-discovery

continuous-discovery is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from deciqAI/knowledge-skills. It costs 82 tokens per session (616 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A product-learning routine in which the team speaks with customers every week and maps their unmet needs before choosing solutions.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps teams define an outcome, identify customer opportunities, generate several possible solutions, and test risky assumptions before building.
Why use it?
It reduces roadmap decisions based only on seniority or opinion by connecting product work to regular customer evidence.

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

continuous-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 6d 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.

Continuous Discovery — Weekly Contact, Opportunity Trees

Overview

Continuous discovery (Teresa Torres, Continuous Discovery Habits, 2021) replaces one-off research with a weekly cadence of customer touchpoints by the team building the product, structured around an opportunity solution tree: one outcome → the opportunities (unmet needs) that drive it → competing solutions → assumption tests. It keeps roadmaps anchored to real needs instead of the loudest stakeholder.

When to Use

  • A product with users but no steady learning loop
  • Roadmap fights decided by seniority, not evidence
  • Turning a fuzzy outcome (e.g. "increase activation") into shippable bets

The Process

  1. Pick one clear outcome (a behavior/metric, not a feature). Gate: if the target is a feature, back up to the outcome it serves.
  2. Interview weekly — the trio (PM/design/eng), small and continuous, not a quarterly study.
  3. Map opportunities as a tree under the outcome; keep them as customer needs, not solutions in disguise.
  4. Diverge on solutions per opportunity (≥3), then converge.
  5. Test the riskiest assumption cheaply before building (desirability, viability, feasibility, usability).
  6. Prune to the next bet. Gate: no assumption test run = you're shipping opinion → stop and test.

Applying It Well

  • Automate recruiting so weekly interviews actually happen (the habit dies on scheduling friction).
  • One opportunity tree per outcome; don't boil the ocean.
  • Small continuous samples beat big infrequent ones.

Red Flags

  • Discovery done by a research silo, not the builders.
  • Opportunities written as features.
  • Interviews stop the moment things get busy.

Verification

  • Single outcome defined (behavioral)
  • Weekly interview cadence in place
  • Opportunity tree maps needs, not solutions
  • Riskiest assumption tested before build

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.
