clio-kit-product-intent

clio-kit-product-intent is a skill for Claude Code from iowarp/clio-kit. It costs 83 tokens per session (2,090 once invoked), scanned A, original, BSD-3-Clause.

A problem-first product document workflow for a new product idea. It investigates the problem, supporting evidence, and a testable hypothesis while leaving engineering choices for a separate architecture document.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to interview stakeholders and write a product thesis that states the problem, evidence, and falsifiable hypothesis.
Why use it?
It prevents teams from debating implementation before agreeing on the problem and how the proposed solution could be shown wrong. It keeps product intent separate from technical design.

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

clio-kit-product-intent 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 169 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Host compatibility

This copy is adapted from Clio Coder. Apply the procedure using the current host's available tools and the user's authorized scope. The tool names, /skill invocations, .clio-coder paths, fleets, approval gates and completion gates below describe Clio Coder; they are not installed or enforced by this skill in another host. Use the host's actual skill invocation and equivalent tools. If no equivalent exists, report the missing capability. Do not assume a tool is unavailable merely because the original headless workflow says so. A referenced agent or skill must be installed before relying on it. Scientific MCPs must be configured separately.

Adapted skills use the clio-kit- prefix to distinguish them from upstream audited skills. For a companion skill named below, select its clio-kit- copy from this collection; native agents, fleets and external programs retain their original names.

Product Intent

A PRD is intent: the problem and the hypothesis about solving it, in a form a team can challenge before building and judge after shipping. Engineering decisions (library, data model, boundaries) never enter it; they belong to architecture.

Arguments

/skill clio-kit-product-intent <idea or problem, in a few sentences>
  • The text is the raw idea, problem statement, or "just write it" request that starts Step 0. Reference docs (interviews, tickets, analytics, competitor notes) named or pathed in the request are evidence to read first, not more arguments.
  • Nothing is required beyond some text; a blank invocation gets Step 0's own "What do you want to build? A few sentences." question.

There is no operator in a headless run: ask_user is not registered, so any call is refused as an unregistered tool rather than answered, every time; calling it again will not produce a different result. Treat the first refusal exactly like the user saying "just write it" (see "If the user declines the interview" below), and apply that treatment from wherever it happened onward — Step 0's evidence check included, not just the five clusters: state the question, your best evidence-grounded answer (or, absent evidence, the most defensible product default) and the reasoning, mark it assumed — confirm, and move to the next step. Never invent evidence to back an assumption; one with nothing behind it stays an open question, not a fact.

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.
