lean-ux-canvas

lean-ux-canvas is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from getcrew44/crew44. It costs 33 tokens per session (5,659 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A one-page Lean UX Canvas for describing a business problem, the people affected, expected outcomes, assumptions, and what the team needs to learn. Lean UX is a product-development approach that tests assumptions through small experiments.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to frame product work, align people from different disciplines, write testable hypotheses, and plan learning experiments for a sprint.
Why use it?
It helps teams agree on the problem before building, expose uncertain beliefs, and choose what to test next.

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

lean-ux-canvas 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.

Purpose

Guide product managers through creating Jeff Gothelf's Lean UX Canvas (v2)—a one-page facilitation tool that frames work around a business problem to solve, not a solution to implement. Use this to align cross-functional teams around core assumptions, craft testable hypotheses, and ensure learning happens every sprint by exposing gaps in understanding (problem, users, value, and why the solution should work).

This is not a roadmap or feature list—it's an "insurance policy" that turns assumptions into experiments before committing to full development. The canvas shifts conversations from outputs to outcomes and ensures teams build the right thing, not just build things right.

Key Concepts

What is the Lean UX Canvas?

The Lean UX Canvas (v2) is a structured, one-page template designed to help teams frame their work around a business problem, not a solution. It aligns cross-functional teams on:

  • What problem exists (and why it matters now)
  • What measurable outcomes indicate success
  • Who we're solving for
  • What assumptions we're making
  • What we need to learn first
  • What experiments will test those assumptions

Origin: Created by Jeff Gothelf, author of Lean UX (O'Reilly, 2013). Version 2 was released to improve clarity around business vs. user outcomes.

Key Insight: The canvas acts like an insurance policy—it exposes gaps in understanding before you build, ensuring you don't waste sprints on the wrong thing.

What ships with it

Changes

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.
