research-from-prd is a skill for Claude Code from josemerca/mercadona-user-story-toolkit. It costs 192 tokens per session (3,412 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured research guide for learning about a product problem before turning it into user stories. It uses Jobs To Be Done as a lens and includes interview and field-study techniques.

In plain words
What is it for?
Planning research, defining questions and success criteria, analysing collected evidence, recording conclusions, and choosing next steps before story writing.
Why use it?
It keeps teams from treating guesses as research findings and provides a process for moving from a product brief to evidence-based conclusions.

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

research-from-prd 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 12d 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.

Research from PRD — Discovery en 6 Bloques

Pieza central del pipeline →Stories. Asiste al usuario en estructurar el research como un proceso de descubrimiento riguroso: 6 bloques que garantizan que pasamos del problema a JTBDs con evidencia real, sin saltar pasos ni inventar conclusiones.

Modo copiloto: Esta skill diseña y propone planes de research, pero NO sustituye el research real. Las conclusiones se basan en evidencia recogida por el usuario, NUNCA inventada. Si el usuario no ha hecho entrevistas, el output son planes y guías de entrevista — no JTBDs inventados. Ver shared-config.md §Filosofía del Plugin.

Las Tres Capas

Tres capas: Proceso (6 bloques) + Lente (JTBD: foco en el TRABAJO, 3 dimensiones F/E/S) + Técnica (Mom Test + Field Study). El JTBD no es un paso — es la lente que atraviesa TODO.

Ver SKILL-reference.md §1 para diagrama completo, tabla comparativa por bloque y antipatrón clave.

Pipeline: 6 Bloques del Discovery

Flujo: prd-quality-guard → Preparación → B1 Propósito → B2 Plan → B3 Criterios → [Ejecución] → B4 Análisis → B5 Conclusiones → B6 Next Steps → jtbd-to-stories → quality-coach.

Ver SKILL-reference.md §2 para diagrama completo del pipeline.


PREPARACIÓN: Análisis del PRD

Cuándo ejecutar: SIEMPRE, como primer paso antes de los 6 bloques.

Proceso

  1. Obtener el PRD (fichero local, URL o pegado por el usuario)
  2. Leer references/gap-detection-prd.md
  3. Analizar EAC con GAP-PRD-01 a PRD-04 + EFC/Scope con GAP-PRD-05 a PRD-08
  4. Calcular Gap Score: (Críticos × 10) + (Mayores × 5) + (Menores × 2) + (Refinamiento × 1). Cálculo determinista: python3 scripts/gap_score.py --criticos=<N> --mayores=<N> --menores=<N> --refinamiento=<N>
  5. Inventariar JTBDs existentes (si los hay en el Discovery del PRD)
  6. Determinar modo:
    • Descubrir (Discovery del PRD ausente o flojo)
    • Validar (Discovery+EAC completos, hay hipótesis a contrastar)

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.
