recommendation-canvas

recommendation-canvas is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from getcrew44/crew44. It costs 32 tokens per session (3,173 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured canvas for evaluating an AI product idea. It examines business and customer outcomes, the problem, possible solutions, positioning, assumptions, unknowns, and risks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Prepare AI product recommendations, frame problems, state solution hypotheses, identify risks and assumptions, and define ways to justify investment.
Why use it?
It helps decision-makers judge an uncertain AI idea before committing to build it. It makes the reasoning and evidence behind a recommendation easier to inspect.

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

recommendation-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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 376 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Purpose

Evaluate and propose AI product solutions using a structured canvas that assesses business outcomes, customer outcomes, problem framing, solution hypotheses, positioning, risks, and value justification. Use this to build a comprehensive, defensible recommendation for stakeholders and decision-makers—especially when proposing AI-powered features or products that carry higher uncertainty and risk.

This is not a feature spec—it's a strategic proposal that articulates why this AI solution is worth building, what assumptions need validating, and how you'll measure success.

Key Concepts

The Recommendation Canvas Framework

Created for Dean Peters' Productside "AI Innovation for Product Managers" class, the canvas synthesizes multiple PM frameworks into one strategic view:

Core Components:

  1. Business Outcome: What's in it for the business?
  2. Product Outcome: What's in it for the customer?
  3. Problem Statement: Persona-centric problem framing
  4. Solution Hypothesis: If/then hypothesis with experiments
  5. Positioning Statement: Value prop and differentiation
  6. Assumptions & Unknowns: What could invalidate this?
  7. PESTEL Risks: Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Environmental, Legal
  8. Value Justification: Why this is worth doing
  9. Success Metrics: SMART metrics to measure impact
  10. What's Next: Strategic next steps

Why This Works

  • Outcome-driven: Forces clarity on business AND customer value
  • Hypothesis-centric: Treats solution as a bet to validate, not a commitment
  • Risk-explicit: Makes assumptions and risks visible upfront
  • Executive-friendly: Comprehensive but structured for C-level review
  • AI-appropriate: Especially useful for AI features with high uncertainty

Anti-Patterns (What This Is NOT)

  • Not a PRD: This is strategic framing, not detailed requirements
  • Not a business case (yet): It informs the business case but needs validation first
  • Not a feature list: Focus on outcomes, not capabilities

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.
