prd-v10-continuous-discovery-torres

prd-v10-continuous-discovery-torres is a skill for Claude Code from mattgierhart/PRD-driven-context-engineering. It costs 116 tokens per session (2,760 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A customer-research practice based on Teresa Torres’s Continuous Discovery Habits. It uses weekly customer interviews and an Opportunity Solution Tree, which links a measurable outcome to customer needs, possible solutions, and tests of key assumptions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan weekly discovery interviews, create opportunity solution trees, map assumptions, test proposed solutions, and coordinate product, design, and engineering participation.
Why use it?
It replaces one-off research with a regular way to learn from customers while building. The structured tree helps teams connect product ideas to needs and evidence.

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

prd-v10-continuous-discovery-torres 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 10d 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.

Continuous Discovery (Torres)

Position in workflow: v1.0 Crossing the Chasm (Moore) → v1.0 Continuous Discovery (Torres) → v1.0 Mom Test, Case Study Builder

Execution Mode

Default is standard. See .claude/rules/08-skill-execution-modes.md for selection logic.

Mode What this skill produces
quick One outcome + 3–5 opportunities + interview cadence proposal
standard Full Opportunity Solution Tree (outcome → opportunities → solutions → assumption tests); weekly 3-interview cadence; assumption-mapping for top solution
deep Multi-outcome tree; per-opportunity confidence scoring; full assumption tests with experiment plans; cross-discipline trio (PM/design/eng) participation rules

What This Does

Establishes continuous discovery as a weekly habit, not a one-time research phase. The shift from "we do research before building" to "we talk to customers every week" is what separates teams that find PMF from teams that drift.

The work product is the Opportunity Solution Tree — a structured artifact that connects a measurable business outcome to opportunities (customer needs), to candidate solutions, to assumption tests. The tree is living: it grows and prunes as interviews accumulate.

This skill assumes prd-v10-mom-test-interview is the discipline for how to interview; this skill is the discipline for what to do with the interviews.

How It Works

  1. Define one measurable outcome — Not an output ("ship feature X"), but an outcome ("activated users in beachhead segment grow 20% MoM"). Anchor in ADO-STAGE-* and KPI-*.
  2. Set up weekly cadence — 3+ customer interviews per week, ongoing. Not "until we feel done." Continuous.
  3. Map opportunities under the outcome — Each opportunity is a customer pain or need (not a feature). Phrased in customer words. Grouped under the outcome. Sourced from interviews.
  4. Pick top opportunity — Score by outcome-impact × evidence-strength × addressability. Focus on one at a time.
  5. Brainstorm solutions — Multiple candidate solutions per opportunity. Not "the obvious one." Force divergent options.
  6. Assumption-map the top solution — What must be true for this solution to work? Three categories: desirability (do they want it?), viability (will it grow our outcome?), feasibility (can we build it?).
  7. Test the riskiest assumption first — Smallest experiment that disproves the assumption if it's wrong. Update tree.

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.
