data-product-validation

data-product-validation is a skill for Claude Code from hollandkevint/data-product-operator. It costs 65 tokens per session (1,144 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured way to judge whether a data product—software that provides data for a specific user or decision—is worth building. It uses a scorecard, experiments, and go-or-stop decisions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assess demand, feasibility, workarounds, and investment risk before starting a data product. It also helps plan validation experiments and decide whether to continue or stop.
Why use it?
It helps avoid spending time and money on data products that people do not need, cannot use, or cannot build reliably.

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.

Fable 5.1 $0.00065 $0.01144
Opus 5 $0.00032 $0.00572

Security

Grade A, and why

data-product-validation 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 8d 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.

Validation Scorecard

Score each dimension 1-5. Multiply all five for a composite score (max 3,125).

1. Demand Frequency

How often do consumers need this answer?

Score Frequency Example
5 Daily or real-time ICU readmission risk scores
4 Weekly Regional performance reports
3 Monthly Quarterly business reviews
2 Quarterly Annual planning data
1 Rarely or once Ad-hoc executive request

2. Decision Impact

What happens when consumers don't have this data?

Score Impact Example
5 Critical decision blocked Can't discharge patients without risk assessment
4 Significant delay or cost Team spends 20+ hours/week on manual workaround
3 Moderate inconvenience Report takes 3 hours instead of 5 minutes
2 Minor friction Slightly slower process, acceptable workaround exists
1 Mild inconvenience Nice to have, nobody changes behavior without it

3. Workaround Effort

What are consumers doing today instead?

Score Effort Example
5 Custom tooling built Analyst maintains a 47-tab Excel model updated daily
4 Significant manual process 3 people spend 2 days/week compiling reports
3 Partial automation Script exists but breaks frequently, needs babysitting
2 Simple workaround Quick Excel export, takes 30 minutes
1 Haven't tried Nobody has attempted to solve this yet

4. Data Feasibility

Can we actually build this with available data?

Score Feasibility Example
5 Data exists, quality verified Source audited, passes data-quality-assessment checks
4 Data exists, quality unknown Source available but no quality baseline established
3 Data exists, known issues Source has gaps or accuracy problems that need fixing first
2 Data partially exists Need to combine 3+ sources, some missing
1 Data doesn't exist Would need new data collection or acquisition

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.
