discovery-interview-guide

discovery-interview-guide is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. It costs 87 tokens per session (2,148 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured guide for interviewing users or customers about their real past experiences, including screening questions, discussion prompts, and a way to combine findings. It supports discovery research, Jobs-to-be-Done research, and checking whether a problem is real.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan user interviews, customer discovery sessions, problem validation, and Jobs-to-be-Done research. It helps organise questions and turn interview notes into shared findings.
Why use it?
It helps avoid leading people toward answers you already expect or toward a proposed solution. Focusing on past behaviour gives you more useful evidence than asking what someone might do in the future.

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

discovery-interview-guide 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 2d 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.

Skill Guía de Entrevista de Descubrimiento

Diseña entrevistas que revelen información genuina — no validación de lo que ya crees. Cada guía sigue una estructura enfocada en historias y comportamiento pasado.

Principios Clave

  1. Nunca preguntes sobre el futuro. "¿Usarías X?" no te dice nada. "Cuéntame sobre la última vez que hiciste X" lo dice todo.
  2. Entrevista para conocer el comportamiento, no la opinión. Las opiniones son baratas. El comportamiento es evidencia.
  3. Los 5 Porqués. Toda respuesta superficial es una puerta. Sigue abriendo puertas.
  4. Confirma el problema antes de explorar la solución. Nunca muestres un prototipo hasta haber confirmado que el problema existe sin prompting.

Estructura de la Entrevista (60 minutos estándar)

1. Calentamiento (5 min)

Genera rapport. Hazlos hablar. No discutas el tema aún.

  • "Cuéntame un poco sobre tu rol y cómo es una semana típica para ti."
  • "¿Cuáles son las herramientas en las que más confías día a día?"

2. Contextualización (10 min)

Entiende su mundo antes de sumergirte en el espacio del problema.

  • "Camina conmigo a través de cómo actualmente [manejas el área de dominio]."
  • "¿Cómo se ve ese proceso de principio a fin?"
  • "¿Quién más está involucrado cuando haces esto?"

3. Exploración del Problema (25 min) — EL NÚCLEO

Aflora el dolor sin dirigir la respuesta.

  • "Cuéntame sobre la última vez que tuviste que [tarea relevante]. ¿Qué pasó?"
  • "¿Cuál fue la parte más difícil de eso?"
  • "¿Cómo lo manejaste?"
  • "¿Qué intentaste antes de conformarte con ese enfoque?"
  • "¿Cuál es el costo para ti cuando esto sale mal?" (tiempo, dinero, estrés, reputación)
  • "Si pudieras agitar una varita mágica y cambiar una cosa de este proceso, ¿cuál sería?"

⚠️ No menciones tu producto o característica durante esta fase.

4. Soluciones Actuales (10 min)

Entiende el panorama competitivo desde su perspectiva.

  • "¿Qué herramientas o workarounds usas hoy para esto?"
  • "¿Qué te gusta de [solución actual]? ¿Qué te frustra?"
  • "¿Has probado otros enfoques? ¿Qué pasó?"

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.
