kano-model

kano-model is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from fzfclee/consulting-skills. It costs 48 tokens per session (992 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A method for classifying customer needs or service features by how they affect satisfaction. Categories include basic expectations, performance improvements, pleasant surprises, irrelevant features, and features that can reduce satisfaction.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess feature ideas or service attributes against customer satisfaction and dissatisfaction evidence.
Why use it?
It separates features customers simply expect from those that improve satisfaction or create differentiation. It also records that these effects can change over time.

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

kano-model 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 18d 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.

Kano Model

Use this skill to run Kano Model as a practical consulting method, not as a generic framework explanation.

Method Notes

  • Classify features as must-be, performance, delighter, indifferent, or reverse.
  • Kano categories shift over time; mark evidence age.
  • Pair functional (present) and dysfunctional (absent) reactions. Qualitative logic: expected presence with disliked absence suggests must-be; satisfaction with presence and dissatisfaction with absence suggests performance; liked presence with acceptable/neutral absence suggests delighter; little reaction either way suggests indifferent; disliked presence with preferred absence suggests reverse.
  • State mode: qualitative evidence gives tentative categories; a standardized survey uses paired response options and a documented evaluation mapping. These qualitative cues are not a substitute for that mapping. Retain contradictory pairs, subgroup differences and ties as mixed / unclear unless a stated grouping/aggregation rule resolves them; do not force one class or a universal tie-break.
  • Basis: ASQ Kano model and Society of Sensory Professionals classification and paired questionnaire.

Required Inputs

Collect or infer these inputs before execution:

  • features or service attributes
  • customer segment
  • satisfaction evidence
  • dissatisfaction evidence

If an input is missing, do not block automatically. Mark it as missing, state the assumption used, and add a validation action.

When Not To Use

Do not use without a defined customer context and evidence of how feature presence and absence affect satisfaction. Kano classification alone does not set roadmap priority, cost, or sequence.

Adjacent Methods

  • jobs-to-be-done: understand the progress the customer is trying to make.
  • user-journey-mapping: locate attributes and pain points across a chronological experience.

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.
