data-consumer-discovery

data-consumer-discovery is a skill for Claude Code from hollandkevint/data-product-operator. It costs 63 tokens per session (963 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A research guide for finding what people who use internal data actually need. It focuses on the decisions they make, what they did recently, where their data came from, how much they trusted it, and what they did afterward.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to interview stakeholders, gather requirements, investigate manual workarounds, assess trust in data, and decide what data product to build.
Why use it?
It prevents teams from treating requests such as a dashboard as the real problem before understanding the decision the request is meant to support.

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

data-consumer-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 9d 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.

Five Discovery Questions

Ask these in order. Each builds on the prior answer:

  1. "What decision are you trying to make?" Not "what data do you need?" Data requests are solutions. Decisions are the actual problem. If they say "I need a dashboard," ask what decision the dashboard enables.

  2. "Walk me through the last time you made this decision." Concrete past behavior beats hypothetical future needs. Listen for: where the data came from, how long it took, what they trusted, what they second-guessed.

  3. "Where did the data come from? How much did you trust it?" Trust is the adoption barrier for data products. A perfect pipeline that nobody trusts is useless. Map their trust signals: source familiarity, recency, whether they cross-checked.

  4. "What did you end up doing?" The action reveals the real need. "I exported to Excel and manually combined three reports" tells you more than any requirements document.

  5. "If you could get this answer in under a minute, what changes?" Gauges impact. If the answer is "nothing much," the problem isn't painful enough to build for. If it's "we could catch billing errors before they go out," you have a validated need.

NEVER ask "what data do you want?" or "what would you like us to build?" These questions produce wish lists, not validated needs. The Mom Test applies to data teams: talk about their life, not your product.

Workaround Archaeology

The strongest discovery signal is existing workarounds. If an analyst built a 47-tab Excel workbook, that's a validated need with proven demand.

For every workaround you find, document:

  • Tool: What they built it in (Excel, Python script, manual process)
  • Frequency: How often they use it (daily = high demand)
  • Time cost: Hours per week maintaining it
  • Trust level: Do they trust their own workaround? Why or why not?
  • Downstream dependents: Who else uses the output?

Workarounds with daily frequency and downstream dependents are the highest-signal discovery findings. Build for these first.
