product-discovery-and-framing

product-discovery-and-framing is a skill for Codex from memi-design/design-skills. It costs 52 tokens per session (600 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A product-discovery guide for turning uncertain product ideas into evidence-based problem statements, priorities, risks, and success measures.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to frame decisions, separate facts from assumptions, describe current user difficulties, and identify testable opportunities.
Why use it?
It helps teams avoid designing a feature before they understand the user problem, business need, or available 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

product-discovery-and-framing 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 1mo 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 52 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Product Discovery and Framing

Turn an ambiguous request into an evidence-backed decision frame. Do not use this skill to design screens, run evaluative usability testing, or justify a predetermined feature.

Required inputs

Collect what exists without blocking on perfect research:

  • decision, deadline, and decision owner;
  • affected users and current behavior;
  • business outcome and constraints;
  • existing research, product data, support evidence, and technical facts;
  • assumptions already being treated as facts.

Label missing evidence instead of inventing it.

Workflow

  1. State the decision. Write one sentence describing what must be decided and by when.
  2. Build an evidence ledger. Separate observed evidence, stakeholder claims, assumptions, and unknowns. Attach a source and freshness date where possible.
  3. Model the current situation. Describe the actor, context, goal, present workaround, friction, and consequence. Avoid demographic personas without behavioral evidence.
  4. Frame the problem. Use: [Actor] struggles to [goal] when [context], causing [consequence]. Evidence: [sources].
  5. Identify opportunities. Group needs by underlying outcome. Keep solution ideas separate until the opportunity set is visible.
  6. Prioritize. Score opportunities using user impact, strategic value, evidence strength, urgency, effort uncertainty, and reversibility. Show the reasoning, not just a number.
  7. Define hypotheses. Express the expected behavior change, who experiences it, why it should occur, and what evidence would disconfirm it.
  8. Set success criteria. Choose one primary outcome, supporting indicators, guardrails, and a time horizon. Do not use output volume as the outcome.
  9. Choose the next evidence step. Prefer the smallest study, prototype, data query, or technical spike that resolves the highest-risk uncertainty.

Output contract

Return:

  1. decision statement;
  2. evidence and assumptions table;
  3. current-state problem frame;
  4. prioritized opportunity list;
  5. hypothesis and success measures;
  6. constraints and non-goals;
  7. unresolved risks;
  8. recommended next evidence step.

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.
